The Abbey – Cambridge

The Abbey near Porter Square keeps its kitchen open until 1:30 a.m., which is useful when your dinner plans run later than everyone else’s. The Cambridge menu ranges from a burger with hand-cut fries to bison Bolognese over handmade linguine and black pepper gnocchi with mushroom cream. Smaller dishes include sriracha deviled eggs and a Bavarian pretzel with Guinness beer cheese. Cocktails have room for unusual ingredients, including beet-infused vodka and a gin drink with blue cheese and dill pickle. Nonalcoholic cocktails and a separate gluten-free menu broaden the choices. Come for lunch, a full dinner or something substantial after an evening out, and check the daily specials before deciding.
