RED FEZ,
49 Peck St., Providence, (401) 272-1212.The Fez serves up some very appealing food at good-prices. They dish up a wide-ranging menu, with nods to Latin, Asian, and comfort food influences. But you can typically eat very well at the Fez for short money. The fare changes about every six weeks, tops out for dinner at $12, for the salmon or an orange-chipotle marinated pork tenderloin. Good bets include the highly satisfying Thai-style yellow chicken curry, a very generous portion served over rice, with string beans, peas, cilantro and sweet peppers, or grilled portobello mushroom caps, with baked polenta, warm goat cheese, and tomato-rosemary sauce ($9). Lunch and dinner staples include quesedillas ($4.50 for just cheese, $6.50 for chicken), the popular grilled cheese ($5), the Fez bowl, a steaming bowl of Asian noodles and vegetables ($6, $8 with grilled chicken, $9 with shrimp), and a jerk chicken sandwich ($6 for lunch, $8 for dinner). Full review.
