Forget the old routine. Back Bay has a new beat, and it’s happening right here at the corner of Mass Ave and Newbury. This neighborhood has always been steeped in history — brownstones, landmarks, legacy. And now it’s got an exciting new dining scene.

There’s no need to scroll through endless “best of” lists, only to end up at the same crowded tourist traps. We’ve done the curating for you. At Lyrik, we’ve assembled a lineup of globally inspired, locally adored dining experiences. From global icons that transport you to the Greek islands to local favorites that keep the neighborhood buzzing, consider this your cheat sheet to the ultimate places to eat in Back Bay, Boston.

Here, you’ll experience a space that shifts with the tempo of the day, from sun-soaked coffee runs to power lunches and evening cocktails under the city lights.
