šThermia, Providence, Rhode Island
Thermia is a new Mediterranean-inspired rotisserie and bistro in Providenceās Olneyville neighborhood. āļø
Thermia Providence is known for their slow-roasted meats, but also serves homemade pastas, seafood, and tapa-style sharables. We especially loved the tomato toast with whipped ricotta to start! ā¤ļø
The atmosphere is dark, intimate, and artfully designed, with antique paintings, newspapers and wine bottles. Itās a perfect spot for date night, a drink, or hosting a private dinner in their back room.
Our one non-negotiable⦠order dessert. š The sticky toffee pudding was incredible.

We are at Viva Mexico Cantina & Grill for an authentic taste of Mexico here in PVD. šš®
Viva Mexico just celebrated 15 years of business, and the same family ownership has a 40-year legacy here in Providence. The recipes come straight from Puebla, Mexico, having been passed down generations to the current owner, Jose. Viva Mexico now brings a modernized twist, alongside those unwavering classics, to authentic Mexican cuisine.
We tried the nachos, birria tacos, quesadillas, all the salsas and house-made sauces, and a strawberry tres leches cake for dessert.
Their downtown location and proximity to the Rhode Island Convention Center makes them a convenient spot for lunch, dinner, drinks, or a meeting.
If you're looking for authentic Mexican cuisine, look no further. Go check out Viva Mexico and follow GoProvidence for more must-do's!
