CAVA – Fenway

CAVA’s Fenway restaurant serves Mediterranean bowls and pitas at 1346 Boylston Street. You choose a base, dips, a protein and toppings, then finish with dressing. That makes it easy to build a meal around greens, grains or a combination of the two, with spreads such as hummus adding something more substantial than a standard salad dressing.

It’s a counter-service stop for lunch or dinner, useful when you want to make your own choices without sitting down for a long meal. A bowl travels well if you’re taking food back to work or home, while a pita keeps the same ingredients in sandwich form. The Boylston Street address places this branch among Fenway’s restaurants, close to the ballpark and the shops around Van Ness Street.
