When we’re hungry and looking to channel all the elegance and bravado of the 1940s, we toss aside our Snuggies (hey, it was a gift), turn off MTV, and head over to Harvard Square’s Casablanca – a much-loved hideaway where inventive Mediterranean eats are showcased in a relaxed, yet upbeat atmosphere.
We get you closer than ever to Humphrey Bogart and Ingrid Bergman with today’s deal—just $20 for $40 towards any food and drinks at Casablanca. Opened in 1955 as a bar to stop in for a drink before or after a movie at the nearby Brattle Theatre, Casablanca expanded into a full-service restaurant in 1977. In the decades since its debut, the Harvard Square standby has developed a cult-following of academics and foodies, as well as quite the collection of praise including 4 stars on OpenTable and reviews in the Boston Globe, Boston Magazine, and the Phoenix.
Casablanca’s menu is huge (or should we say menus, since there are endless choices encompassing all meals and times): Brunch, Lunch, Afternoon, Tapas and Dinner, as well as Specialty Cocktails and a Full Wine List. So, whether you choose their comfortable, red-walled dining room or their energetic, mural-covered lounge, you’re sure to find a drink or a bite that will suit your fancy—from tapas like Sari’s Lamb (slow roasted lamb shoulder, charred tomatoes, spicy yogurt, grilled flatbread) to entrees like Grilled Blue Fish (couscous, fried eggplant, tomato relish, wilted greens, tzatziki yogurt) to brunch favorites like French Toast (Portuguese sweet bread, chocolate hazelnut spread, fresh berries, whipped cream).
And, to wash it all down, we hear the Casablanca Sangria is to die for! After one visit, you’re sure to be hooked, and while your voucher doesn’t go towards these specials, come back for other amazing offers like skewer nights on Mondays and Tuesdays, and authentic BBQ from their wood-fired oven on Saturdays.
So buy as many vouchers as you want, grab your friends, and channel that 40s’ vibe, 2010-style!
