Casablanca Harvard Square

Casablanca can be hard to find since it is located in the basement level at 40 Brattle St. in Harvard Square. If you think you are at 40 Brattle, look down and you should see the stairs down to the restaurant. Once inside, don't let the somewhat dated decor fool you. This is one of my favorite casual dining restaurants.

The menu has a variety of dishes from rack of lamb, fresh fish and steak. They are accompanied by some not so usual extras like lentils, long grain rice with pine nuts and beds of spinach and peppers. What makes Casablanca special is that the food looks and tastes like it has been prepared with extra care and attention. You also get a nice side of olives to go along with the pita bread basket. My last favorite meal at Casablanca was the portabello and cheese on focaccia bread drizzled with pesto olive oil, served warm and lightly toasted.

get directions and see the menu at their website.
