It's time
to make reservations if you plan to dine out on Easter. Looking over
the possibilities, we can recommend a few places if the quality of the
food is as important to you as the time spent with family and friends.
This post is from 2009. Here is our 2010 guide to Easter Dining.
Our picks
La Morra in Brookline will offer their regular menu with some holiday brunch and dinner specials. We have always had a wonderful meal at La Morra and suggest this as a place that will please both serious food lovers and those with simpler tastes.
If you'd like to treat someone to a bit of pampering, L'Espalier is offering a brunch menu for Easter with their regular menu available after 5PM.
For a more casual and relaxed atmosphere, The Blue Room will do a special version of their famous Sunday Brunch.
For this holiday there are a few excellent list of restaurants with special menus and hours for Easter.
Open table seems to have the most complete information, and you can click right through to make reservations.
Don't be surprised if some places require a credit card to secure the reservation. This is the type of holiday when people may book multiple restaurants and decide where to go at the last moment. That can make the restaurant to turn away other potential customers.
