Newton just landed its first-ever Michelin-recommended restaurant, and it’s right in the heart of Newton Centre. Thistle & Leek, a cozy British-inspired gastropub run by chef couple Kate and Trevor Smith, made the cut in the brand-new Michelin Guide Boston 2025. Locals are already feeling the buzz—reservations are booked solid, and the kitchen is getting flooded with job applications. What’s wild is that the Smiths never chased awards; they just wanted to cook food that felt true to them and their roots. How do you think this Michelin spotlight will shape Newton’s dining scene? #Food #NewtonEats #MichelinGuide
