The best restaurants Massachusetts

This is a small, friendly place that is very popular in the summer. Linda Jean's has been entertaining the Oak Bluffs community since 1976, and the regulars are numerous! Here you can eat the great classics of American family cuisine, just like in a dinner, but with a special emphasis on seafood and fish. The salad includes scallops and the omelette would not be complete without shrimp, lobster and crab! Breakfast classics (pancakes, French toast) are highly recommended. Impeccable service.

For breakfast (coffee, selection of exotic teas, pastries) and to eat a sandwich prepared with a fresh wand. The list of sandwiches of the day is indicated on a slate. So, soups and salads. The reception is nice.

Voted the best pub on the island by readers of a local gazette, this restaurant is attached to the Kelley House Hotel. It's quite dark inside, with old-fashioned lamps and a fire in the fireplace in winter. It's like a tavern frequented by fishermen and captains. On the menu, a rather classic American cuisine: fried burgers, chicken wings, and lots of appetizers. Great choice of wines and beers. Warm atmosphere.

Opened since 1971, The Black Dog Tavern is one of the island's most popular taverns. It serves local cuisine, from clam chowder to fish plates. And what sunsets! The locals come here to dine, so you can tell if the place is authentic. The tavern was the first project realized by Captain Robert Douglas, a Chicago sailor who fell in love with the island. He then created the Black Dog chain of stores, which sell sea-inspired clothing, flanked by Douglas's famous black dog, the companion Labrador.

Here is a beautiful restaurant, rather recent, which enjoys a direct view of Edgartown harbour. In line with the village, it offers a distinguished service and rather high rates. It must be said that the menu is tempting.

The restaurant is huge and offers many tables on the terrace. Ideal for a romantic dinner.

You didn't think Provincetown didn't have a lobster spot, did you? The beautiful façade of this establishment, which looks tiny from the outside, actually hides a large dining room.

Everything is fresh and good. Relaxed atmosphere as everywhere in the city. The Lobster Pot is one of the institutions of P-Town.

This is one of the oldest bakeries in the city, which has been serving the locals for over 100 years! Despite its success, the place has kept its old-fashioned look.

This multicoloured ice cream with its fish-shaped cone is as delicious as it is beautiful! It's a concept that comes straight from Japan. Apart from vanilla, strawberry and the inevitable chocolate, the ice cream comes in unexpected flavours with Asian influences, such as matcha and black sesame.
