The “exotic Mediterranean cuisine” at Sabur features dishes from the various cultures of North Africa, Turkey, Greece and Italy. Slow-roasted meats cooked over an open hearth are a specialty at this Teele Square dining room. Appetizers include a Greek platter with hummus and grape leaves, grilled Balkan sausages, spicy shrimp, celery and root cakes, and roast lamb soup. Most main courses are around $20 - $25. If you are willing to splurge for the evening, Sabur is well worth its cost. Live music Thurs.-Sat.

For a true New England experience, we heartily recommend this comfortable, cozy and historical B&B.

Guests are treated to a full or continental breakfast each morning, as well as tea and freshly baked cookies in the parlor each afternoon.
