Cafe Mami

Massachusetts Avenue in Cambridge

Cafe Mami sits at 1815 Massachusetts Avenue in Cambridge and serves Japanese comfort food. It is an everyday neighbourhood stop rather than a special-occasion dining programme (full Cambridge restaurants guide).

Where it sits among other rooms

The useful comparison is register: this is a practical Cambridge stop, not a high-investment tasting room.

Other Cambridge pages on this site include 1369 Coffee House, 730 Tavern, Kitchen and Patio, Afghan Flavour, Midsummer House, and Restaurant Twenty-Two.

The broader American comparison is instructive. Rooms such as Le Bernardin in New York City, The French Laundry in Napa, Atomix in New York City, Providence in Los Angeles, Smyth in Chicago, and Addison in San Diego sit at the high-investment end of American dining. Lazy Bear in San Francisco and Emeril's in New Orleans occupy a more intermediate band. The Inn at Little Washington and Atelier Moessmer Norbert Niederkofler in Brunico sit in a different fine-dining register entirely.

Planning a Visit
