"Modern Portuguese restaurants are on the rise in Boston, and Baleia is one of the buzziest new entries in the genre. Start the night with an order of puffy Portuguese sweet rolls and then make your way through the seafood-laden menu, which spotlights dishes like the salt cod bolinhos (savory, deep-fried fritters) dipped in a saffron mayonnaise, and punchy grilled sardines with a bright turmeric chermoula and preserved lemon." - Erika Adams
