Thomas KeatingFebruary 15, 2018Everything both looked and tasted exceptional. Surprisingly light tasting for a French restaurant. Server was excellent and the chef was very accommodating to a dietary concern. Great for date night.
ElsaJune 9, 2013If you like squid & octopus, try the Squid Ink Tagliatelle, Braised Spanish Octopus, Chilies, Preserved Lemon, Manchego Cheese. This dish is delicious! Wonderfully pronounced squid/octopus taste.- Brittany GoodhouseMay 5, 2014Veal and rabbit tagliatelle pasta dish was to die for! The free side, we picked string beans, was a perfect supplement to our meal. The Italian red wine by the glass was perfect with my dish.
Revere Hotel Boston CommonApril 19, 2017A French Provencal bistro overlooking the Boston Public Garden, this restaurant found the ideal way to bring together the passion for ingredient-driven cuisine with a refined, classic technique.- Ai KNovember 29, 2019Lovely place. Beef tartar was one of the best ever and croque madame was perfect to my liking.
- Joseph KibeMarch 31, 2014Excellent service and excellent savory dishes. This is a place in the fine dining mold. I have, however, never been that impressed by the output of the pastry kitchen.
Stephen SheppardMarch 8, 2019Food and service were high quality. The steamed mussels appetizer was wonderful. Wines by the glass get a generous pour.
C BaileyMay 3, 2016Sit on the 2nd floor for a nice brunch overlooking the park. Croque monsieur was to die for. Very attentive staff.
Ryan DikdanMay 15, 2015The dessert was amazing and the food and wine. Some of their food choices were questionable but it was all delicious.
Gilt CityJanuary 18, 2012There’s no better place in town to indulge in wine and charcuterie, those most Gallic of pleasures, than here. The Boston Globe has named Bistro du Midi the city’s “Best French Restaurant."
Joyce McLeanNovember 11, 2014Tuna tartare, charcuterie platter, beignets for dessert. One word: amazing.
Vanessa PhamMarch 31, 2013Order the lavender beignets but ask to replace the chocolate sauce with rhubarb berry sauce. The combination is amazing!
- Joyce McLeanNovember 9, 2014Tuna tartare is awesome. Duck. Caramel beignet. Wonderful wine list. This is one of my best restaurants.
- Valentin GuerinOctober 5, 2015Cozy, nice fireplace, excellent French food and an impressive wine list. A must try!
Mehmet OzgumusFebruary 9, 2014Service was good.waiters are pleasant and hard working people.I ate the tagliatelle and it was great I highly recommend it 👍
Come for the amazing wine list, no need to stay for the $$$$ food (ok, maybe get the tapenade in the cafe downstairs)
Basmah SNovember 24, 2013OMG after along trip I had the best juicy cheeeeze burger ever 🌟unforgettable
Bordeaux WinesApril 19, 2012If you wind up winding down with decadence here at Bistro du Midi, indulge in some Bordeaux with the duck. You won't be disappointed.
Great and affordable bistro menu. Helluvah deal and sit on the porch for a great view.
Gwen CummingsSeptember 6, 2014Friendly service and great food! They still honor the FourSquare deal as well
Vanessa GatlinFebruary 16, 2014(Best of Boston 2013-FRENCH) Improper Bostonian says, "No one ever refers to soufflé as "game-changing," but after tasting Bistro du Midi's, you might."
Joshua EddyOctober 28, 2014Grilled octopus with compressed melon, frisée, and squid-ink vinaigrette.
Jennifer ChoiApril 22, 2012Get the hazelnut milk chocolate cake with salted caramel ice cream! You won't regret it!
Robert ViscontiMay 20, 2011The pentaque is a great drink, and the bartender is very knowledgeable. Tell him what flavors your in the mood for and he wont dissapoint.
David ChiuMarch 8, 2012Duck Breast (Medium Rare) with Swiss Chard and Gnocchi, absolutely fantastic.
Go upstairs, and hit Big Matt's bar. Ignore the menu and the wine list, and tell him to feed you.
Bistro du Midi is trying out a new wine offering - on weekend nights they're offering a special large format wine by the glass.
Chefs FeedAugust 22, 2014Eric Gregory, chef of Grafton Street, eats here on his nights off. He loves the Croque Madame. Read more
pappasNovember 13, 2010Get the fries - they are dayliceeous! And the poached lobster w/o pancetta OMG
Boston.comJuly 27, 2010Bistro du Midi is a Restaurant with a capital R. None of that upscale pub grub that’s been going around. No waiters who want to be your pal. Read more
Don't bother with the Steak Frites. The chef decided to use New York Strips instead of Hanger or Flat Iron steaks. Bad call!
