"The team behind popular South End spots Petit Robert Bistro and Marseille, as well as Kendall Square restaurant Batifol, might be Boston’s most prolific French restaurant group. New to the operation is PRB Boulangerie, a string of three bakeries and cafes sprinkled around the city. Fill your pockets with chocolate croissants and eclairs, but also don’t miss the excellent pain suisse, with layers of sweet brioche dough wrapped around vanilla custard and chocolate chips. A full breakfast and lunch menu is also available at the cafes. There are PRB locations in Somerville, the South End, and Kendall Square." - Erika Adams
