All-Day Paris Hits Back Bay

Cafe Sauvage opened in Back Bay in 2021 and draws consistent crowds, including a throng at Sunday brunch at 9 a.m. The restaurant hosts a French dinner series that encourages diners to speak en Français. The Parisian menu incorporates global flavors with notable African influences from co-owner Anaïs Lambert's childhood. Signature dishes include a Nutella crêpe ($13) with brûléed bananas and whipped cream, the Sauvage Mama breakfast ($19) with scrambled eggs, avocado, bacon, and salad, and a beef Bourguignon sandwich ($19) with pulled short rib and gruyere. Beverage options range from espresso and cappuccino to coconut lattes, mango matcha, and a passionfruit-orange-mango-coconut juice. Diners are invited to mix and match components, such as swapping toast for sweet plantains to soak up runny eggs.
