21/03/10 Athans

This European bakery is located in Washington Square in Brookline. The shop side is filled with chocolate, gelato, pastry, cookies and cakes. The other side is a coffee bar and cafe seating. You order on the shop side and pick up your food at the coffee bar. There is no table service. The windows look […]

21/03/10 Eastern Standard

We start off with the cheese plate. It was an all milk plate with: Veenweide Kaus (Holland), Camembert Chatelain (Normandy) and Keens Cheddar (England). I think that the cheddar was my favorite, it was a hard cheese but it was smooth. The Veenweide Kaus reminded me of a Piave Vecchio, it was slightly gritty but […]

19/03/10 Bread and Chocolate Bakery Cafe (Round 2)

This was the second time I have been to Bread and Chocolate (See previous review). I went for lunch and had a ham and cheese sandwich. It was served on a crusty baguette, I asked for it without the dijon but had them put on the sweet butter (how very European). The sandwich came with […]

19/03/10 Prezza

We arrive at 7 and it’s pretty crowded with after work-ers. They had run out of specials for the night because of all the people there. It was crowded but not overwhelmingly loud. The decor is stylish and simple. We sit in a booth near the front and they have to take our jackets because […]

17/03/10 Market (Round 2)

I reviewed Market once before, (see review). I decided to give it another shot given that it was restaurant week and you could eat for less. It’s like reading a book you’ve already read, you know how it’s going to end but you want to see what else you can pick up the second time […]

15/03/10 Canto 6

JP is under rated. There are so many great little shops and neighborhood restaurants that most Bostonians don’t even know about. Canto 6 is one of JP’s best kept secrets. (Although, they were voted Best of Boston 2007) Canto 6. Ring a bell? From Dante’s Divine Comedy, the 6th canto of the Inferno is where […]

15/03/10 Bullfinch’s

There aren’t many places in suburbia where you can get a good brunch. This is one of them. I used to come here often, when my friend Paul Broadnax used to do Monday night jazz or Sunday jazz brunch. He has since moved on to other venues, Acton Jazz Cafe in Acton, MA and Stone […]

15/03/10 Post 390

And restaurant week has begun…. Post is located in the Clarendon building, the site of the former Back Bay Postal Annex and is owned by the Himmel group (they also own Grill 23 and Harvest). This was my second visit. Last time we went at 7:30pm on a week night, this time 5pm on a […]

10/03/10 Cuttys

I had been reading about this place and was intrigued. The place is small, maybe only 10 tables, with minimal decor. They have a chalk board on the wall stating the menu choices. I’m not sure what makes a sandwich ‘gourmet’ but I wanted to find out. Sandwiches are around $7. The roast beef only […]

10/03/10 Buddachen

Over the years I had been to Jae’s a few times. For some reason when I went to Buddachen last night I thought it would look the same. From the outside it doesn’t seem like much. You walk through a sun parlor/bar area to get to the main dining room. Before, Jae’s was dimly lit […]
