Daedalus, American restaurant in Harvard Square, Cambridge, United States.

Daedalus sits within a converted greenhouse on Mount Auburn Street, offering a seasonally changing menu built on fresh ingredients from local sources across multiple floors. Two bars are distributed throughout the space, creating distinct areas for dining and drinking.

The restaurant opened in 2001 and became a gathering place in Harvard Square from the start. Over the years, it grew into a dining destination for locals, students, and those exploring the historic university neighborhood.

The name comes from the mythological Greek craftsman, reflecting the restaurant's focus on creative cooking and innovative modern American dishes. Visitors can observe how traditional and contemporary techniques coexist in the kitchen's approach to food.

The restaurant is wheelchair accessible and accepts various payment methods including contactless options. Pricing is moderate, making meals here affordable for most visitors.
