3W & Blue Bar
Seemingly lifted en masse from Soho, this swinging eatery features a ‘blue bar’ and trance music that’s hard to tune out. Submit to the suggestive bamboo and red-lantern decor by ordering an Asian-inspired dish like sesame-crusted tuna. Or just go all the way with some sushi; the Dynamite roll – with shrimp, spicy tuna, salmon and avocado – is, well, dynamite ($12).

Centre Street Café
This artistic, eclectic restaurant embodies the essence of Jamaica Plain. Smart but idiosyncratic staff serve dishes that range from ‘Shrimp Nirvana’ to ‘Danno’s Szechwan Shaboom.’ It’s not particularly fancy fare, but ingredients are organic and locally grown, and the outcome is – as the menu promises – ‘outrageously good!’ A highlight is Sunday brunch, when patient would-be patrons wait in lines that stretch down the block.

Jackson House Inn
Expect tranquility, exquisite views of Mt Tom and premier cuisine at the Jackson House. The prix-fixe menu might feature scallops and stone crab or duck in phyllo, followed by a main dish of pepper-crusted tuna or a juicy little squab lightly caramelized with maple syrup. The chef also offers a 10-course tasting menu at $95, a true treat for your tastebuds. End with the pumpkin brûlée, steamed lemon pudding or tarte tatin.

Taranta
Europe meets South America at this Italian restaurant with a Peruvian twist. So, for example, gnocchi is made from yucca and served with a spicy lamb ragout; salmon filet is encrusted with macadamia nuts, and filet mignon with crushed espresso beans. There’s an incredible selection of Italian, Chilean and Argentinean wines, all of which are organic or biodynamic. Taranta is a Certified Green Restaurant.

Trumbull Kitchen
At this slick downtown eatery you can get bites of anything from dim sum, tapas, stone pies or (and?) fondue. The bar stays open later on the weekend, the longer to sample the impressive cocktail list.
