Since 1978, CASABLANCA has been synonymous with Harvard Square. Look for it down a quaint brick alleyway behind the famous Brattle Street Theatre. This casual Brattle Street restaurant and bar is a magnet for all types of patrons –from grad students to their deans, from artists to architects, and from merchants to magnates. 

All are immediately charmed by the warm welcome, the original wall murals depicting the classic Bogart film, the well-priced Mediterranean menu, and the sense of having found the true heart of the Square.  

Pull up a bar stool and rub elbows with Pulitzer Prize winners.  Enter the dining room and be thrilled by Chef Camillo Diaz’ mastery of ingredients like couscous, olives, eggplant, game, local fish, beans and fresh herbs ... but save room for dessert !   

Fine wines, beer on draught or in bottles, clever cocktails, and a serious collection of rums, scotches and bourbons draw diners to the spacious bar both before and after meals.

Casablanca serves lunch and dinner – by reservation or without -- seven days a week. Come as you are, but be prepared to settle in for awhile … this is the authentic Cantabridgian atmosphere you’d hoped to discover.
