Location: Brookline
Cuisine: Deli/Bagels
Price Category: Inexpensive

The magical phrase "breakfast served all day" might be enough to lure you to this bustling restaurant, but even breakfast haters (yes, there is such an animal) will be happy at Zaftigs. The name, Yiddish for "pleasingly plump," is no joke -- everything is good, and portions are more than generous. Try fluffy pancakes, challah French toast, or a terrific omelet. They share the menu with wonderful deli sandwiches as well as entrees that seem basic but demonstrate a certain flair. Roasted chicken is juicy and flavorful, meatloaf and gravy equally enjoyable. The knock on Boston-area deli food is that it's not New York (well, duh), but the hard-core deli items here are more than acceptable. The gefilte fish is light, blintzes have a tang of citrus in the filling, and the chicken soup is excellent.

Main courses $8-$17; breakfast items $3-$9.Open: Daily 8am-10pm.Reservations recommended.Credit Cards: AE, DC, DISC, MC, V.T: Green Line C to Coolidge Corner.
