No restaurant in the Square invokes as much jealousy, awe, inspiration, or sneaky drooling as Sandrine’s, a French bistro on Holyoke that you pass on your way to lunch or to class. With its windows thrown wide open when the weather is good — which luckily isn’t all that often — Sandrine’s is the ultimate treat-yourself restaurant, and hands-down has the best food with such proximity to the Yard. (Whew. It had to be said.) Now, what do you eat there?

Dali

Dali is a Spanish Tapas restaurant that…confession: isn’t actually in Harvard Square (but it’s so good that we couldn’t resist putting it on our list!). The ambiance is truly kooky, and yet oddly romantic…think of it as the lovechild of Salvador Dali and an antiques shop…and the food, well, the food is great. For those of you who don’t know, tapas=small plates=sharing appetizer-sized portions of a variety of dishes with your friends/family while getting tipsy on sangria (it’s apparently legendary). Recommended: Queso Rebozado con Miel (fried spanish cheese with honey and sweet onion) and Alcachofas Rellenas (mushroom-stuffed artichokes). Steer clear of the Tortilla Espanola and Paella- not worth the money. Tapas are $5-12 per plate, with most in the $7-9 range. Expect to order at minimum 2 plates per person.
