Brighton Bodega [Boston MA]

Sheryl Julian has essentially a love letter to Brighton Bodega in the Globe online (presumably it will be in the print version tomorrow). Anyone been?

Brighton Bodega [Brighton Center, MA]

Brighton Bodega opened a couple of weeks ago at the former Mandy and Joe’s space on Washington Street and we’ve been twice since. It’s nice to have a slightly-uppity (in the best of ways) neighborhood place not crowded with college kids (although that may change as September gets closer) and dishes that try out new yet still approachable flavors. It reminds us quite a bit of Strip T’s with its previous reincarnation of Asian fusion dishes, which have sadly passed on when they changed the chef at…

We’ve been quite a few times when they were new-ish and always loved their ever-rotating menu.

@sunnyday, thank you and obviously I should have done a search, geez!!!

Confirming that Sheryl Julian’s article is in the print edition (01/15/2020).

A detail that catches my eye is that Brighton Bodega is operated by the Superior Dining Group, which specializes in neighborhood spots: Barlow’s (South Boston), Copper House Tavern (Waltham), Orleans (Somerville), Warren Tavern (Charlestown), and Porter Belly’s Pub and Devlin’s (Brighton Center).

We went a few times when we still lived in Brighton. We always thought it was quite good, and I liked the people and vibe. I enjoyed it much more than their other two places on the same block, Devlin’s and Porterbelly’s.
