Shawmut Inn
Day 4: 5-Course Avant-American Tasting Series
Opened August, 2024, in Boston’s South End, Shawmut Inn has quickly earned a reputation as a polished neighborhood bistro, with Time Out Boston spotlighting its arrival and easygoing charm. Here, Executive Chef Quang Tran channels his Vietnamese roots, CIA training, and a decade’s worth of experiences with restaurateur Matt Sullivan (as well as a formative turn at Nantucket Prime) into a menu that balances comfort and curiosity. Think lemon pappardelle with diver scallops in garlic cream and meyer lemon, or sweet pepper mafaldine with lobster and herb crumble. Meanwhile their grill and plancha turn out plates like grilled swordfish with braised turnip, charred savoy cabbage, and parsnip chips, as well as roasted striped bass with three bean salad, garlic spinach, and ginger–chili sauce. We hope you can join us!
About the Host:
Quang Tran

Chef Quang Tran’s culinary journey began in Minnesota, where his family settled after immigrating from Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam when he was 11. A Culinary Institute of America graduate, he honed his craft at The Atlantic Room at Kiawah Island, Liquid Art House, RFK Kitchen, and Nantucket Prime before joining Sullivan’s umbrella of restaurants (including Sullivan’s Public House, Shawmut Inn, and most recently, Cocolee at Assembly Row).
