The Hidden Restaurant Near Boston That’s Surrounded By The Most Breathtaking Fall Colors

We can’t get enough of fall. When we’re not cruising along country roads leaf peeping, we’re hiking through the woods under a canopy of crimson, orange, and gold leaves. And why stop there? To maximize your enjoyment of autumn, soak in views of fall foliage while you’re dining too! In fact, there’s a restaurant hidden in Mendon where you can gaze at a vista of changing leaves encircling a lake, all while savoring a mouthwatering meal.

Located 42 miles from downtown Boston, Alicante Restaurant & Lounge specializes in Spanish tapas and Italian cuisine.

On a warmer day you can eat out on the deck and enjoy views like this.

The scenery is just as dreamy inside.

It’s the perfect spot to watch the sunset with someone special.

In autumn, the trees edging Lake Nipmuc become resplendent with color.

Allow some time to enjoy the restaurant's bar; the wine list is vast and varied.

On the food menu, you’ll find delicious tapas such as tuna sashimi, and an excellent lobster bisque.

When it comes to full plates, the lobster ravioli steals the show.

Meat lovers rave about the perfectly prepared rack of lamb, which tastes just as good as it looks.

And don’t forget dessert!
