Saturday lunch near Trillium

Hit up the sandwich counter at Bees Knees

 

Flour cafe is on point. Lamb or chicken sandwich. If a breakfast sandwich is your thing, their egg sandwich might change your life.

 

Lucky's Lounge is a cool, unmarked bar/restaurant very close to Trillium. Food is good, but basic beer list (BMC mostly). For a better beer list (but a longer walk), check out Atlantic Beer Garden by the Seaport. Very good food, better beer.

Have fun! Trillium is a blast. Well worth the trip.

 

Trillium is amazing have fun. If uve got a car u should check out night shift and Idle Hands as well they're in the same building only a 10 min drive away in Everett. As for lunch, check if Tavern road is open. It's only a block or two to the right of Trillium. Blue dragon isn't far either and both have unbelievable food although you'll likely find a better beer list at Tavern road. Enjoy

 

I have ironically found the beer list to be much better at Whiskey Priest than it is at Atlantic Beer Garden. Remy's has a good list too.

 

Blue Dragon is right around the corner if you want some good tapas-style asian food. Remy's is pretty close and has good bar food

 

I'll add my vote for Blue Dragon (but the lunch menu is not tapas-style; it's mainly entrees. Dinner is tapas style.). It's usually pretty quiet on Saturdays and the food is solid. The lunch portions are large there, so consider splitting an entree -- especially if you get a noodle bowl. Beer list is small, but they usually have at least one interesting draft line. (They sometimes have Trillium on draft, but that's been rare in my experience.)

Also in the area: Sportello, which serves some amazing pastas (and similar Italian dishes). It's more high-end than a "sandwich place," but the food is awesome. Check out the menu online to see if it interests you (and note that they serve cheaper appetizer portions of all their entrees). It's usually pretty dead in there for a weekend lunch. They do serve beer/wine, but beer selection is small.

If you're driving or you're up for a 10-minute walk, check out K&O Pies in Southie. No beer at this location, but the meat pies and sausage rolls are effing awesome.

As others have noted, you also can't go wrong with Bee's Knees or Flour Bakery (but it can get crowded there). No beer served at either location (although Bee's Knees does offer a decent beer selection for retail sale).

 

Yankee Lobster for fried clams and lobsta rolls.

 

this is a pretty cool area for food

 

ONe detail you might want to watch out for, there is a home show at the Seaport World Trade Center, and a boat show at the convention center this weekend. Things may be a touch crowded down there, at least for eats. Can't say how many of those types may be going for Trillium, though.
