French with a Cuban twist—odd bedfellows, but it works for this sexy, confident restaurant. The dinner menu gets serious with cassoulet with braised lamb and white beans, tuna au poivre, and sinfully sweet double-decker chocolate cake. At the cozy bar you can sample spiced fries, clam fritters, and the best grilled three-pork Cuban sandwich in Boston. The place fills quickly with Cantabrigian locals—an interesting mix of students, professors, and sundry intelligentsia.

A very good, somewhat upscale French-Cuban fusion spot with a bistro atmosphere and solid service, a favorite of professorial types. The Cuban sandwich served at the bar is among the area's best. It's several blocks walk from the Harvard Square T-stop.
