Mooncusser
Hope the Michelin inspectors can handle a little heat, because chef Carl Dooley’s elevated cuisine brings the fire at Mooncusser. A global outlook inspires the Cambridge-born culinarian, with tastes like feta-apricot harissa spread enlivening freshly baked focaccia; Persian cucumber and black lime accenting a fish carpaccio; and bright, fruity chili paste standing up to richly braised Vermont lamb. The seasonal selection of five-plus dishes on the nightly prix fixe isn’t all hot and spicy, but it’s always invigorating and adventurous.
