Bistro du Midi

Neighborhood gem. Fantastic staff, chef, and management. Chef Mike and kitchen staff kindly accommodate my dietary restrictions. Absolutely delicious food. I eat brunch, lunch, or dinner here one or more times a week when I’m in Boston. And I’m looking forward to the recently announced afternoon tea offering. I love sitting upstairs, downstairs, or outside (views of the Boston Public Garden). I’ve had the most delicious omelettes here, and my friends rave about the ricotta pancakes, crepes, and flatbreads. The salads are fresh and delicious. Fish is prepared to perfection. Last night, with friends, we had salmon, halibut, scallops, and seared tuna. Everyone loved their meals to the last bite. Vegetarian and gluten free can be accommodated. The gluten free chocolate soufflé is large enough to share, rich, and delicious. Book in advance. It gets very busy here.

We had brunch on December 30. We made reservations and we seated upstairs. There is a big difference between the upstairs room and the downstairs one, although the downstairs one is quite nice as well. The food was very good. The service was excellent. You have a great view of the park and the ambience is quiet and soothing without being pretentious. There were other families there and they have enough for kids to eat, but the adult menu is wonderful. Additionally, they had vegan and gluten free options.
