Best place to Lunch near MFA or Gardner Museum

I will be spending a morning and early afternoon in June at both museums and need to feed lunch to two teens and spouse. What can anyone recommend? We will not have a car.

The MFA itself has a lovely restaurant inside, next to the gift shop. The food is excellent (a little expensive) and the atmosphere is lovely.

If you want to save some money and don%26#39;t mind walking a bit, go down Huntington Avenue towards Copley Square. Northeastern university is a couple of blocks away and has more student-oriented (cheaper) eateries.

There%26#39;s not much at all, in the immediate vicinity of the MFA. As mentioned, your best bet is to walk down Huntington Ave. a few blocks, towards Copley Sq. There are lots of pizza and sub shops serving the Northeastern students.

If you want something a bit more ';adult';, there%26#39;s a place called Betty%26#39;s Wok and Noodle Diner, on the corner of Huntington and Mass. Ave, which is very good, and has a funky vibe which the teens will like.

Also, a block away from there, next to the BU Theater, is a Pizzeria Uno, which would work fine for you.

Thanks. Either Betty%26#39;s or the Pizza sounds like the way to go for us.

Do you know anything about dinner at the ';Cheers'; at Fanqueil Hall? Is it just a tourist trap or worth a burger at least?

You don%26#39;t go to Cheers because of the food..........

Hi,

Actually, the MFA also has a very nice cafeteria, believe it or not. It has some outstanding antipasti and interesting sandwiches and soups and desserts. You can take your tray to either indoor or outdoor dining areas. The outdoor area is on a patio in one of the garden courts (quiet and surrounded by the museum). You go downstairs at the far end of the ';west wing'; where you enter. It%26#39;s worth checking before you commit.

I actually like the indoor cafe the most, but its portions are small, and it%26#39;s less likely to meet your needs. The upstairs restaurant seems rather dressy, but I%26#39;ve not eaten there. You%26#39;ll see them both near the entrance.
