You can always count on a great burger in the bar of this landmark Harvard Square hangout. Befitting its name, the front dining room also explores the North African side of Mediterranean bistro cooking, jumping between Moroccan and French dishes. The cassoulet, redolent of duck confit, rarely seems to go off the menu, and almost anything with preserved lemon is a great bet. Murals from the classic Bogart movie provide the atmosphere.
