Malden is a real foodie city. With restaurants in every neighborhood, residents and visitors can literally eat around the world and not leave Malden. The choices are limitless-ranging from take out only to counter service to full service restaurants. Some restaurants are icons, having been in the city for years, while new dining options open daily. With the trend toward food delivery services, people in Malden still like to visit their local restaurants, many of which are within walking distance of their homes.   Paul Solano of Peart Street Station notes that they " really want the guests to enjoy our unique former Malden Train Depot/former Summerside Lodge Function Facility environment! We do offer ChowNow for pick-up orders.... It isn't every day that you get to dine in a Building that was built in 1891 and has beautiful cathedral ceilings & its original fireplace!"

Malden Chamber restaurants also tend to be invested in the community, giving back to local organizations and supporting Chamber initiatives such as the Taste of Malden. Shane Smyth of Hugh O'Neill's highlights the collaborative nature of Malden "where people work together on common goals and really support each other both individually and in business."  Joe Carreiro, Business Manager of El Potro Mexican Bar & Grill praises Malden as a diverse and evolving place with strong City Hall leadership and is proud of its involvement in the Chamber. He says "being part of it has allowed us to be "part" and partner in those changes and not on the outside looking in.  To be partners in the moment, and not passengers."

While Malden Chamber restaurants are very active in the community, they also excel in their passion for food. Their menus reflect the culinary preferences of our diverse community and offer something for every taste and budget. The Chamber restaurant members include: All Season's Table Restaurant, Bikeeny Caffé, Bobby C's Restaurant, District Kitchen, Dockside Restaurant, Donut Villa Diner, Doo Wop Diner, El Potro Mexican Bar & Grill, Exchange Street Bistro, Faces Brewing Co. (opening soon), Frescos, Hugh O'Neills Restaurant & Pub, John Brewer's Tavern, McDonald's Restaurant, Mystic Station Eatery & Bar, New England Coffee,  Pearl Street Restaurant, Pisa Pizza, and T'ahpas 529. 

So, if you are looking for a burger, beer or a burrito, pizza, pasta or pad Thai, coffee or clam roll, donuts or dessert, visit a Malden restaurant. Or, meet many of these restaurants at the Chamber event, Taste of Malden, on April 27 ^th at the Malden YMCA  #Maldeneats.

Our next Focus On will feature Malden Chamber apartment communities.
