Good for special occasions
Charming
Great for fine wines

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.

Dined with our teenage children on a Sunday evening. Our waiter was very attentive, hospitable and great with the children. The food was outstanding, and the wines and cocktails were great as well. We would definitely recommend this beautiful spot.

The food was pretty good- the mussels were notably amazing. Our only issue was the meal was not well timed. Large gaps of time between ordering or being checked on made the meal drag on, and we were tired from traveling. I think the waiter forgot our dessert. No one checked on our table for about 45 minutes- I would have just canceled it so we could be on our way but he was nowhere to be found. Eventually dessert came, but it wasn’t worth the wait at that hour.
