Our first time at Baleia, and we’d absolutely recommend it and return. The savory cheese tarts, Portuguese sweet bread, and Whole Roasted Fish were the stand outs for us.

Shrimp Mozambique was our favorite! We could not let them take the remaining chili lemon broth (because SO good) so we soaked that up with some extra bread. 10/10 recommend! Other favorites were the grilled cabbage with white beans and breadcrumbs. Curried eggplant with spiced cashew, thai basil. And the duck rice. Raphael was our server at the bar and he was fantastic.
Probably one of the best meals I’ve had in Boston in the past year. Wonderful execution of flavors, textures, and technique. Pacing on the Explorador (tasting) menu was well timed and thoughtful….even as I threw curveballs adding extra dishes. Even eating at the bar by myself, the service was perfectly attentive. Absolutely looking forward to my next visit.
