New England Restaurants Make Bon Appétit’s ‘Best’ List
Every year Bon Appétit announces the Hot 10 List of the best new restaurants in the Country. But before they can announce the top 10, they start with a list of 50 nominees.
This year, four New England restaurants made the first cut! Below is a list of the New England restaurants that you have to try according to Bon Appétit!
- 1
Loyal Nine: Cambridge, Massachusetts
Loyal Nine is a minimalist restaurant with a exquisite menu. The restaurant itself is simple with wooden tables, benches, and sparse artwork on the walls. The menu, though, is quite the opposite of simple. Patrons have their choice of dishes such as braised lobster and whole roasted age duck. If your palate isn't craving something that fancy, then stop in at their adjoining cafe for a quick eat.

The Dining Room at the White Hart Inn: Salisbury, Connecticut
If you want a weekend getaway before the end of the summer, take a trip to the White Hart Inn.
The Dining Room at the White Hart Inn is run by British chef Annie Wayte, who has worked in both New York and London. Wayte only makes food with locally grown and seasonal food, so it is an experience that you can only have at White Hart Inn.
- 3
East Ender: Portland, Maine
SmallAxe Food Truck owners Karl Deuben and Bill Leavy opened up their first stationary restaurant in Old Port called the East Ender.
The Easter Ender has food from Korea to Latin America, and cuisine from everywhere in between. They also serve up everything from brunch to dessert, so there is really something for everyone!
- 4
Tandem Coffee + Bakery: Portland, Maine
The last gem on the list is Tandem Coffee + Bakery in Portland, Maine.
The coffee shop and bakery retro aesthetic that only a 1960's gas station-turned-laundromat-turned-bakery could have. The 60's bakery is designed with colorblocked walls, metal stools, and sleek, sharp corners.
If you are in Maine stop in for all of your sugary sweet needs, it'll be worth it!
