This is Greece. Bar Vlaha tells the story of the Vlach people, the founders of hospitality and Greek cooking. A nomadic group of shepherds who created and nurtured the roots of Hellenic cooking as we know it. Straying from the tried-and-true island cuisine, we're rediscovering Greek fare sourced from rural mountains, lakes and villages of Central and Northern Greece.Bar Vlaha captures the true soul of Greek cooking with rustic and nomadic traditions using charcoal and open fire gastra techniques. Locally sourced, regional and seasonal ingredients are combined with the warmth of old-world hospitality to bring the roots of Greek culture to Brookline.

Here we feature a large raw bar, open kitchen and glass-enclosed lounge. In warmer months, we retract the lounge’s glass walls and ceiling for drinking under the sun or stars.

    I always share the starters... sensational. I had for main course the blue fin tuna, astonishing, the best tuna I ever ate and the fennel salad was wonderfully complex and delicious. My friend had the falafel and he couldn't stop talking about it. It was his first time in my favorite restaurant. Kate waited on us and guided my friend through the menu. Impeccable evening.

    This was a great experience from first minute to last - great hospitality around excellent food! We were early, seated quickly and with preferences accounted for. We had scoped six dishes in advance and opted out of one when a waygu Big Mac was offered - a most try! Server knew the menu, understood her role to guide discovery and make sure we had a great meal - 10/10 recommend! Had scallops which were amazing, different than other preparations, and truly stood out. Brussels were his favorite, and were flavorful with a maple item underneath that made it work! Risotto, alcapurrias, and mussels with lobster (only ok) rounded it out with donut dessert. Really really solid and different. Chef Chris came by to say hello - you should too, truly worthy of reputation and ranking!

    Experiencing our 63rd anniversary was special. The steaks were incredible and like nothing else we’ve experienced! The service and atmosphere were so spectacular. We have celebrated yearly with Capital Grille and hopefully will continue! We were treated to a complimentary dessert and had our photo taken as well!
