"When Juliet opened in Somerville in 2016, it quickly shot to the top of best new restaurant lists across the city. Ten years later and in a bigger space located next door to the original, it’s grown into a Boston institution. Inspired by cafes in the south of France, it’s the type of place that can fit any situation, but we particularly like it during the morning and mid-day hours. Come for a late brunch with friends and then linger for pre-dinner aperitifs, or sit solo at the bar and dive into a chocolate chip Earl Grey scone. If you’re looking for heartier options, go for the rich pulled pork and egg-over-easy sandwich on tender brioche, or the juicy, Gruyere-smothered burger." - lala thaddeus, tanya edwards, catherine smart
