I haven't blogged about food in a while! We have been so focused on house projects that we haven't really been out to eat anywhere new in the past couple of months. Well that is changing this month. I am fully committed to enjoying our last month as DINKs by eating out at amazing restaurants, seeing moves, taking naps, & lots of yoga/exercising to balance everything out. I reached out to a few of my foodie friends and had them tell me the 'must-go-to' restaurants in the area. Once I had the list, I set up multiple reservations on opentable throughout the month (see my list at the end). Craigie on Main in Cambridge was one of them. It's a great restaurant all around but it is well-known for their Sunday Brunch...specifically their grassfed burger & house-made donuts. We had both!
{the infamous house-made donut with confiture du lait}
{grass-fed beef cheek & smoked beef tongue hash}
{grilled cheese & chicken confit sandwich - with house-made celery slaw, pickles & housemade nutmeg ketchup - i think?}
{I also loved the decor - they had gold mirrors throughout the restaurant - I want/need that little heart mirror}
{open style kitchens are the best}
The rest of our list: (cambridge is the place to eat these days)
West Bridge - Cambridge, MA - loved it, so cool.
T.W. Food - Cambridge, MA - going.
Hungry Mother - Cambridge, MA - going Friday!
Craigie on Main - Cambridge, MA - loved.
Bronwyn - Somerville, MA - going next week!
Island Creek Oysters - Boston, MA - reservation made
Hamersley's Bistro - Boston, MA - went, great food, not my fav atmosphere.
There are sooo many more good restaurants in Boston - but the criteria for our list was that we hadn't been there before (or at least one of us). Let me know if you have any more must tries!
