Nightshade Noodle Bar
About
Nightshade Noodle Bar is a Michelin-recommended French-Vietnamese restaurant in downtown Lynn serving seafood-focused tasting menus. A beverage program drawn from the same French and Vietnamese traditions accompanies the food. Chef Rachel Miller, a three-time James Beard Foundation nominee, cooks on the line nightly; she was a 2023 finalist for Outstanding Chef and a 2024 and 2025 semifinalist for Best Chef: Northeast.
Miller grew up in Virginia and fell for cooking at a coastal restaurant that sourced from nearby farms and fishermen, which sparked a love of butchery and charcuterie. She moved to Boston for a butchering job at Lionetti’s in the South End, then spent 12 years in top kitchens, including Chef de Cuisine at Ken Oringer’s Clio. After private chef work and Nightshade pop-up dinners, she opened the restaurant in 2019.
