Puritan & Company is a charming urban cafe blending modern American flavors and classic New England dishes, all served in a warm, friendly setting.
"This Inman Square restaurant, from chef Will Gilson, might not jump to mind when you think of fish and chips, but it should. The bar-only menu offers “cheeks and chips” — delicate, buttery cod cheeks are served as lightly battered munchkins, along with a hearty serving of French fries." - Tanya Edwards
"When one of the best pastry chefs in Boston gets into the brunch game, we sit up and take notice. Case in point: Inman Square stalwart Puritan & Co. recently relaunched its brunch service with pastries from sibling spot Cafe Beatrice, led by award-winning pastry chef Brian Mercury. Get the pastry basket to start, and then order up a lavish spread of brown-butter pancakes, smoked brisket hash, and more. It’s a Sunday-only brunch, available from 10:30 a.m. to 2 p.m." - Erika Adams, Celina Colby, Eater Staff
"An homage to New England, Inman Square’s Puritan & Co. dresses up local classics beautifully. This isn’t your grandmother’s baked cod, unless she serves it wrapped in phyllo dough and with lobster stew on the side. It’s the place to go for spot-on scallops, roast chicken, and Parker House rolls, or buckle in for a chef’s-choice ride with the seasonal, five-course tasting menu for $85 per person." - Eater Staff
"Indulge in a prix fixe New Year’s menu at Puritan & Company featuring four courses and dessert. The offers range from wagyu strip and lobster and kind crab risotto to seared foie gras and tuna crudo. The menu is available from 5 to 10 p.m. with a midnight toast for late diners." - Celina Colby, Erika Adams
"Puritan & Co. is the kind of restaurant you can take anyone to (yes, that includes your grumpy cousin who constantly corrects your grammar). This cozy New England restaurant uses produce in most of their dishes from a farm they operate in Groton, and it all happens in a classic bistro setting in Cambridge. They’ve got simple pastas that change regularly (get the short rib pappardelle if it’s available), seafood risotto loaded with shellfish, and homemade Parker House rolls that are perfect for sopping everything up.
