Paperback Tavern

Paperback Tavern looks out toward the Charles River from the Hyatt Regency Boston/Cambridge on Memorial Drive. Breakfast might mean challah French toast with lemon mascarpone, an omelet or an acai bowl. In the evening, the menu turns to burgers, beer-battered haddock, salads and dishes such as a vegan chipotle pulled-pork sandwich.

The bar gives you plenty of reasons to linger, including cocktails, local beers and alcohol-free drinks. Its seasonal terrace has a separate schedule, so check that before planning an outdoor evening. Breakfast and dinner are distinct services here; the hotel’s Paperback Provisions counter covers coffee and grab-and-go food between them. The restaurant menu also notes an automatic service charge, worth noticing when the check arrives.
