Vietnamese

Cicada Coffee Bar

Modern Vietnamese cafe with excellent coffee and creative banh mi. The duckfit banh mi is worth the hype. Their Vietnamese iced coffee is dangerously addictive. Expect a weekend brunch line but it moves fast. The vibe is immaculate.

Mediterranean

Pammy's

MICHELIN Guide recognized Mediterranean restaurant with seasonal focus. Chef owners Chris and Pam Willis craft enticing dishes in a charming space outfitted with salvaged finds. Three-course 'Choose Your Own Adventure' prix-fixe dinner.

New American

Fallow Kin

Vegetable-forward farm-to-table restaurant in the former Craigie on Main space, from the Talulla team. Zero-waste kitchen — byproducts of one dish show up in the next (halibut poached in whey from in-house yogurt). Tasting counter; regular menu of share plates; a 'farm burger' in homage to Tony Maws's Craigie original.

Korean

Koreana

Cambridge's original table-grill Korean BBQ restaurant — every table has its own grill, every meal starts with a wall of banchan. Menu also runs a full sushi bar and a complete Korean repertoire (bibimbap, soondubu, japchae). Soju and beer program.
