Hand-cut pastrami with Ba-Tampte mustard on twice-baked rye, anyone? That’s just the start at this bright retro-look Allston deli, restaurant, and bar from the Franklin Restaurant Group (The Franklin Café, Citizen Public House).

Maria Rondeau and JuanMa Calderón, who run the buzzy Somerville Peruvian place Celeste and the intimate avant-garde Esmeralda in Vermont, got their start years back cooking dinner parties at their home around the corner from this place. Now they’re back in Cambridge, serving traditional and updated Peruvian fare — including a part-alpaca-meat burger with yucca fries.

You won’t go wrong at this handsome, congenial Back Bay gastropub, with its white brick walls and flowerbox windows facing Dartmouth Street.

Chef Kelly Snoggles, who also oversees the kitchens at Brownstone, Clerys, and Granary Tavern, serves up a just-what-you-want-to-eat menu — from wings and fries to burgers and bowls — in this lively gastropub in a former 1887-vintage police station.

If you like dining in stunning surroundings, you’ll definitely want a seat at this two-level dazzler in a converted early-19th-century grain mill on Milk Street.
