About

Opened in 2024, this South End love letter to Portugal comes from the team that brought Boston SRV, The Salty Pig, and Gufo. It then promptly jumped right onto a slew of “Best Of” Lists, including Resy’s “Top 5 in Boston,” Boston Magazine’s “Top 10 Best New Restaurants" - not to mention their Boston Globe “Best in Boston: Best Portuguese Restaurant” Award Win. Executive Chef Andrew Hebert, who spent his early career working with Boston’s Jody Adams at all of her concepts and training in James Beard Award-winning kitchens in South Carolina, has been the Executive Chef at the aforementioned Salty Pig and Gufo. At Baleia, he is celebrating Portugal’s beautiful seafood-forward cuisine with dishes like octopus carpaccio, steamed baby clams in vinho verde, shrimp Mozambique with chili and lemon, and salt cod bolinhos or fritters. Landlubbers can savor the duck rice, piri piri chicken, or the steak.
