The 38 Best Restaurants in Boston | Eater Boston

"We generally try to avoid having the same restaurant group make multiple appearances on the Eater 38, but in the case of La Royal, from the same folks behind the award-winning Peruvian stunner Celeste, it’s really just that good. JuanMa Calderón and Maria Rondeau didn’t miss a beat at La Royal, which cultivates their signature transportive, fun-night-out energy in a larger space. The tart, punchy ceviches sing here, as do regional plates that nod to different aspects of Peruvian culture and food, including Peruvian Chinese, or Chifa, plates like stir-fried noodles with seafood or vegetables. A bar tip: On the drinks side, the pisco martini has won fans from all over, and the classic pisco sour hits the spot every time." - Erika Adams
