Who is April's restaurant pub and Grill?
About us April’s Restaurant Pub and Grill is a local family-owned restaurant that has been serving the North Shore area since 1999. We serve custom homemade food that’s made to order.
What's on the April meal plan?
Our April meal plan takes the guesswork out of menu planning by listing a whole month's worth of dinners. From Sunday suppers to Friday fish fries, we've got you covered. This is one of our favorites. It's delicious, satisfying and reheats well. My husband would rather have “the orzo dish” than go out to eat.

April 1: Double Pea, Prosciutto and Burrata Platter

Send off Brussels sprouts season in style with this 50-minute weeknight gem.

Can you believe this stunner only requires 15 minutes of your time? That's because the garlic, spinach and peas cook while the pasta boils.

Snacks & Treats
The Best Healthy Carrot Cake You’ll Ever Eat (gluten free & paleo-friendly!)
Lemon-Asparagus Risotto
This creamy lemon-asparagus risotto, with crisp-tender asparagus, bright lemon and salty Parmesan cheese, is delicious on its own as a main dish or as a side to enjoy alongside roast chicken.
Pan-Seared Cod with Radish & Lentil Salad
This pan-seared cod pairs with a whole-grain mustard vinaigrette for a pop of tangy flavor that elevates this simply cooked piece of fish.
Mushroom Ragout with Herbed Ricotta & Pappardelle
This mushroom ragout is topped with dollops of ricotta, which cut through the acidity of the tomato-based sauce for a balanced flavor and creamy texture.
Whole-Wheat Strawberry Muffins
Kids in the Massachusetts Farm to School program used smart recipe swaps when they created these strawberry muffins: applesauce to replace some of the oil lowers calories, and whole-wheat flour instead of all-purpose flour brings added fiber and more nutrients.
Scallops & Spring Vegetables with Olive-Caper Pan Sauce
This quick-cooking scallop dish can be on the table in just 20 minutes. Packed with vegetables, protein and a flavorful sauce, it makes a great weeknight main for two. Petite carrots are harvested before they reach full maturity, making them thin and quick cooking. Snatch some up from the farmers' market early in the season.
Quinoa with Peas & Lemon
Green peas add a pop of color to this bright whole-grain side dish. Plus, choosing frozen saves you time—no shelling required! Want to save even more time? Use a pouch of precooked quinoa.
Apricot Glazed Chicken with Potatoes & Asparagus
Curry powder is a powerhouse ingredient because it combines a medley of flavorful spices—usually turmeric, fenugreek, coriander and peppers—all in one jar. Increase the heat in this dish by using a hot or red curry powder.
