"Combining the aesthetics of a provincial Scottish tavern with a cozy ski lodge, The Haven is our favorite spot to grab brunch on dreary days. Scottish restaurants are in low supply in Boston (as in, this is the only one), which makes their wide-ranging beer and whisky selection from the homeland all the more precious. The portions run on the smaller side, so ordering a couple of apps—we’d push for the scotch egg and cheesy bridies—helps round out the meal. Just make sure to order the potato and smoked fish cakes benedict, which are so good we’d add them to our family crest if we had one. " - lala thaddeus
