Allandale Farm

This is our tenth dinner at Allandale Farm, so it’s safe to say we like it here. Allandale is the oldest working farm in Boston, and Farmer Helen is keeping its rich agricultural history alive and well with a myriad of organic vegetables and summer fruits grown right inside the city limits. The history here is palpable, in the 1700s farmhouse as much as in the tall trees that shade the grasses where we’ll set the table. Chefs Kate and Trevor Smith of Thistle and Leek have serious culinary chops working for years at Craigie Street Bistro, Kirkland Tap & Trotter, Coppa, Toro, Gramercy Tavern, and Le Bernardin before opening up their own spot in the fall of 2020. With a menu focused on local sourcing, thoughtful pairings, and classic technique, this dynamic duo will be serving up dishes inspired by their extended honeymoon travels through Europe, and their mother and grandmother’s recipes.
