"The sizzled house gnocchi at this Champagne tavern is technically pasta, but we also consider these airy Parisian-style dumplings to be fluffy pillows that are perfectly safe to consume. With a mellow romesco sauce underneath and grassy drizzle of olive oil on top, these are simple, effective, and taste even better alongside a glass of bubbles at the bar." - aimee rizzo
"This art-deco Beacon Hill champagne tavern understands that any slurp can benefit from bubbles regardless of ABV. Thus, most of their sans-booze lineup involves carbonation in some way. Exhibits A, B, and C are a spoof on an Aperol spritz made with Wilderton Aperitivo, a sparkling matcha-orgeat concoction, and an olive brine-splashed dirty martini with non-alcoholic vermouth. The variety comes in handy—your cocktail order throughout the evening should be just as exciting as the obscure cuvée flight at the next table over." - aimee rizzo
"This funky little Beacon Hill bistro is officially the best spot in town for sparkling wine, whether you casually enjoy bubbles or your phone’s lock screen is currently the French countryside. Come here on a late afternoon to sip fizzy wine alongside snacks like battered prawns tossed in tamarind BBQ sauce, pomme frites with Sichuan chili mayo, and gnocchi with green pea pesto. It’s all served without any pretentiousness—the staff won’t assume you’re a viticulture novice, but they also won’t totally leave you on your own to navigate the world of carbonated grape juice. And with other drinks like spritzes, non-alcoholic aperitifs, and bottles of white, red, and rosé, you don’t have to be Champagne-obsessed to appreciate a night out (or a weekend brunch) here." - aimee rizzo, gabe guarente
"Billing itself as a “Champagne tavern,” this bubbly-focused wine bar does small plates with a Asian–Western fusion theme, like kimchi arancini, lemongrass steak nachos, and baos stuffed with mushroom duxelles. The menu’s most fabulous example of this East/West combo is the classic English-style sticky toffee pudding — made with miso-infused toffee. It’s a spectacle, with the umamified toffee sauce absolutely saturating a date-and-brown-sugar mini-cake before cascading into a creamy caramel moat around it. This dish is like Donald Duck’s dream-sequence version of what a delicious dessert should look and taste like, except... my god, it’s real. Ask for it with a little blat of whipped cream, eat it on the patio, and bring a friend. –Meg van Huygen" - Harry Cheadle
"This funky little Beacon Hill bistro and sparkling wine bar—complete with art deco wallpaper and all-around sophistication—is where boozy brunch goes to grow the f*ck up. You can have hash browns topped with caviar, eggs benedict topped with braised duck, and blanc de blanc topped with absolutely nothing. And yeah, mimosas are available here too, only the Champagne is just too good to contaminate it with orange juice." - kayla sager riley, aimee rizzo, gabe guarente
