Sturbridge Bistro,

497 Main Street, Sturbridge, (508) 347-3320.

The chef's background is evident in the extensive menu, which features Mediterranean, French, German, and Greek cooking styles. There are American favorites, too, including six varieties of burgers and pocket sandwiches, a whole page of deli style sandwiches and salads, and a handful of vegetarian dishes. There is literally something for every appetite here. Baked haddock was subtle and delightful; steak Madagascar, sirloin with green peppercorn sauce was another hit. The restaurant is open Wed. through Sunday from 11 a.m. to 9 p.m.
