Dinner in a historic atmosphere and other Concord, MA Restaurant Reviews

Restaurant Name: The Colonial Inn

The Colonial Inn was built at the turn of the 18th century as a private residence. As with most houses in Concord it has its share of literary history since Henry David Thoreau lived there with his family in the 1830s. In 1889, the house was transformed into a hotel and it has been operated as such ever since.

After spending the day visiting the beautiful historic homes of Concord, dining at the Colonial Inn just seemed like the perfect way to end the day, and we were not disappointed. We chose to eat outside on the patio, but we did take a peak inside and the dining room is very charming, and so is the inn's little pub. Service was great, and the food was really good - the menu offers a good selection of American and New England dishes, and to make the experience more complete, I decided to go with the "Traditional Yankee Pot Roast": it was delicious, especially with a nice glass of merlot! Unfortunately I had no room left for dessert, which is a pity since I had my eyes set on that home-baked apple pie... I can only hope there's a next time!

Restaurant Name: Main Streets Market & Cafe

Main Streets Market & Cafe is located at the heart of downtown Concord, and it seems to be a favorite with the locals and travellers alike. The house in which it is located dates back to the early 18th century, and as it seems to be the case with everything in Concord, Main Streets has been open for business for over 100 years! Four generations ago, the Anderson family opened up a grocery store, which later turned into a catering business, and which now operates as a cafe, serving breakfast, lunch and dinner. We were there for lunch, and for only $7.95, we had our choice of delicious wraps, grilled paninis and sandwiches (comes with a bag of chips). There was a pleasant, friendly atmosphere and just to give you an idea, cell phones are not allowed :o)))

Favorite Dish: I had the Cuban panini and it was delicious: pulled pork, ham and swiss cheese with pickled chipotle mayo, yum!
