Brunch Delights in Boston: A Culinary Journey

Brunch Delights in Boston: A Culinary Journey

Recently, my teammate celebrated his birthday, and he couldn’t stop raving about Contessa, having had an incredible team dinner there. Lucky for me, I caught a glimpse of their brunch menu, which had been highly recommended. 😄 Here’s a rundown of the must-try dishes that I experienced during my visit!

1. Squash Carpaccio: A Surprising Delight

Initially, I was hesitant to try the Squash Carpaccio because of the arugula, a flavor I usually don’t enjoy. ❌ However, I decided to take the plunge, thinking, “Why not?” To my surprise, the dish was incredibly delightful! The thinly sliced roasted squash, sprinkled with pumpkin seeds and arugula, created a beautiful balance of sweet and tangy. It was a fantastic appetizer that set the brunch’s tone! 🌟

2. Meatballs Aldo: Comfort Food At Its Best

The Meatballs Aldo didn’t look like much at first glance, but let me tell you, they were anything but ordinary. These meatballs were far from greasy, and the creamy sauce paired perfectly with them. They were a classic comfort food that left me wanting more. 🍽️

3. Spicy Lobster Capellini: A Flavor Explosion

When a dish comes highly recommended by many, you know it’s going to be special! The Spicy Lobster Capellini did not disappoint. The combination of tender lobster meat with a spicy sauce created a flavor explosion that brought joy to my taste buds. Lobster lovers, this one’s for you! 🔥🦞

4. Rosemary Potatoes: The Ultimate Indulgence

You can’t go wrong with fried food, and the Rosemary Potatoes were no exception. These crispy potato bites, infused with rosemary, were pure bliss. The addition of fried onions made them even more irresistible! A perfect side to complement any brunch dish. 🤤

Boston’s Autumn Vibes

Today in Boston, the weather is delightful! ☀️ After a few heavy rain showers, it feels like fall has officially arrived. I’m still clinging on to my iced coffee, but the chilly weather seems to be signaling that it might be time to switch to warmer beverages. As we embrace the fall season, I can’t help but think about sweet treats like roasted chestnuts and all the comforting dishes that come along with it. #BostonLiving #FallVibes #BostonEats #AutumnReady
