Craigie Street Bistrot

High-quality country French food and wine make this clubby West Cambridge neighborhood bistro a must-visit for food lovers. Chef Tony Maws does wonderful things with vegetables, wild mushrooms, starches, fish, poultry, terrines - even a simple salade compose. Make sure you get a dessert with ice cream or sorbet involved. Informal and only moderately expensive, especially if you can time it for the $29-after-9-p.m. three-course specials.
