David's Bistro,

1280 Worcester Road (Route 9 East), Framingham, 879-7345.

Sharing space with the elegant Finally Michael's, David's Bistro offers many of the same superb dishes, but at lower prices. Those on a budget can try the fowl and fungi pizzetta or the crab cake sandwich. Or splurge (just a little) for almond encrusted sea scallops, lamb shanks, or fisherman's stew.

Price Range: $5 - $16.
