Boston Restaurant Week | Spanish Mushroom Magic! 🍄✨

Revisited Estragon Tapas for Restaurant Week—two years later, their Spanish small plates still hit the spot! $41/person for dinner (1 starter, 2 mains, 1 dessert), with all dishes pulled from their regular menu—no cheap shortcuts here. The Bites: 🍄 Sautéed Mushroom on Toast ✅: BUTTON MUSHROOMS + GARLIC + CRISPY BREAD = today’s MVP! 🥔 Spanish Egg ⭕️: Just okay—a potato-heavy omelet (skip if you’re not carb-loading). 🐚 Sautéed Clams ⭕️: Steamed with ham for umami, but a few gritty shells slipped in. 🐑 Braised Lamb Empanada ✅: Flaky, hot-from-the-oven pastry stuffed with tender lamb—heaven! 🍖 Beef Meatball ⭕️: Decent, but nothing special. 🌶️ Stuffed Pepper with Salt Cod ❌: Fishy + bland—hard pass. 🧀 Basque Cheesecake ❌: Dry and dense (my homemade version beats it). 🍰 Spanish Almond Cake ⭕️: Moist like cornbread + vanilla ice cream = safe bet. ✨ Verdict: Not as wow as Toro, but a solid Restaurant Week pick for group hangs! 📍 Estragon Tapas 700 Harrison Ave, Boston, MA 02118 #BostonEats #TapasLover #RestaurantWeek #SpanishFood #BostonFoodie
