"Like other spots on this list, Milkweed is typically overrun during weekend brunch hours, but diners will find a much more relaxed atmosphere during the weekday breakfast window. Take advantage of the relative quiet to linger over shakshuka, steak and cheese egg scrambles, and dutch baby pancakes topped with blueberry compote and strawberries. The restaurant’s grilled “love muffins,” topped with a generous scoop of butter, may taste more like dessert than breakfast, but an order isn’t complete without one." - Nathan Tavares
"A popular all-day spot in Mission Hill owned by the same team behind the recently closed neighborhood Irish pub; the owners plan to open a Dorchester outpost of the all-day concept on Morrissey Boulevard, with a target timeline of roughly eight months." - Erika Adams
"This cheery Mission Hill spot is a popular place for breakfast and lunch every day, but don’t forget that there’s also dinner (and cocktails). The menu draws inspiration from all over: One might have shakshuka for breakfast, a Cuban sandwich for lunch, and salmon with green Thai curry for dinner." - Rachel Leah Blumenthal
"This Mission Hill joint offers a glut of comfort food. Try the salmon cakes with cheesy grits and scrambled eggs. Milkweed is open for indoor dining, takeout, and delivery." - Terrence Doyle
"What to Eat: It depends on the meal at Milkweed, which is open all day. For breakfast: Nutella and strawberry French toast. For lunch: turkey BLTA (the “a” is for avocado.) Dinner: buttermilk fried chicken, period, end of story. Where to Eat: Kevin W. Fitzgerald Park (145-157 St. Alphonsus St., Boston), which is located just behind Tremont Street and a block up “the Hill.” It has a breathtaking view of the Boston skyline. How to Order: Caviar [takeout/delivery]" - Terrence Doyle
