About this restaurant

  • Good for special occasions
  • Great for fine wines
  • Charming
Bistro du Midi's cuisine features French Cuisine inspired by Coastal New England influences. Our wine list represents the true soul of a bistro wine list. In a classic French bistro, wine is very much a part of every meal. As such, we offer a variety of experiences and wines at a tremendous value in a range of prices. Our elegant yet relaxed environment overlooks Boston's beautiful Public Garden with a spectacular view. A street level Bistro features floor-to-ceiling windows, and in the spring and summer our patio provides some of the most optimal al fresco dining in the city.

    We had a good meal of steak, octopus and a burger. My burger was a tad undercooked (asked for medium rare). The food came out quick. The service was a good. We sat downstairs and it was too cold near the large front windows. Excellent drinks.

    While the service was excellent and the meal was good, for the prices we paid, the meal was disappointing. The wine was not very good and the bread was far below the quality of breads at French restaurants we have been to.

    We had a wonderful evening in a beautiful setting. With piano music playing in the background, we were served a delicious meal. The beet gnocchi was fabulous and the halibut was perfectly prepared. We will be back!
