Newton Restaurants Named to Boston Globe's 'Best of the New'

NEWTON, MA – The Boston Globe recently ranked the best new restaurants in greater Boston for 2016, and if the list is any indication, Newton's already eclectic restaurant scene is on the verge of exploding.

The Globe named three new Newton eateries among 47 restaurants on its "Best of the New" list – Fat Hen, Juliet, Mint Indian Eatery and Tipping Cow Ice Cream.

See what the Globe had to say about Newton's newest hotspots below:

Little Big Diner

1247 Centre Street

Previously hailed alongside fellow "Best of the New" winner Moldova as one of Boston Magazine's "Top 25 New Restaurants," this Asian diner is no stranger to praise. According to the Globe, the ramen, rice bowls and Asian-style drinks like the yuzu margarita are can't-miss.

Moldova

344 Watertown Street

Moldovan natives Artur and Sandra Andronic bring their "rustic farmhouse fare" – cabbage and potatoes, thick soups, and fresh cheeses – to Newton, the Globe wrote. And both the Globe and Boston Magazine agree the sweet pastry "placinte la tigaie" is the restaurant's crown jewel.

KoKo Bakery

232L California Street

Though her roots are in the Japanese style of baking, owner Nobuko Maruyama has range, according to the Globe. Shoku pan, buns filled with red bean paste and curry rolls – Japanese staples – are integrated with baguettes, rye loaves, French country bread, croissants, brownies and cheesecake.
