The doorman at our hotel suggested this great lunch place! We were not disappointed. The idea behind the menu is that chefs from restaurants all over town create a sandwich to be served at Parish. What a neat way to sample the works of other chefs. We enjoyed Sean's Meatloaf Club and the L'Espalier sandwiches. We were there in the... more

The Parish Cafe offers some of the most interesting sandwiches in Boston. The restaurant is often packed and has decent bar scene as well. The Parish Cafe is a terrific late night destination where you can nurse your long night out on the town. The Hummus Platter appetizer is a decent assortment of bland homemade white bean hummus, feta cheese... more
