Thistle & Leek
About
Thistle & Leek is a cozy gastropub in Newton Centre modeled on London’s modern gastropubs. The menu is built from small plates that follow a theme of local seasonality and draw on the team’s travels throughout Europe. Chefs Trevor and Kate Smith run the kitchen, cooking with local, seasonal ingredients, and the restaurant appears in the MICHELIN Guide as a Recommended spot.
The drinks follow the same unfussy spirit: the wine list leans old world, and the cocktails are earnest and straightforward. The restaurant aims to be a casual neighborhood refuge with warm, thoughtful hospitality, the kind of place that suits a midweek celebration, a second date or a drink and a snack on the way home from the office. It is also listed with Meet Boston, the region’s convention and visitors bureau.
