Restaurants in the Fenway
There are many good options for great food in the Fenway - on both sides of the Emerald Necklace / Back Bay Fens. Our focus here is on independently owned restaurants in the neighborhood.
Right across the street from the Christian Science Plaza, on Mass Ave, there are a number of great restaurants including Pho Basil (Vietnamese); Mumbai Spice (Indian); and Oakleaf Cakes (coffee & baked goods). Peterborough Street in the West Fens has a terrific and diverse array of independently owned restaurants including Thornton’s Fenway Grille (casual, sit down); El Pelon Taqueria; Cafe Phinista (Vietnamese); Fiouna’s Restaurant (Middle Eastern & Persian). It is easy to cut through the Emerald Necklace, Back Bay Fens to lunch at one of these great spots. Stop at the Fenway Victory Gardens and the Emerald Necklace Shattuck Visitor Center on the way!
