    Bistro du Midi is my new favorite French restaurant. The downstairs felt like a nice cocktail bar, while the upstairs felt like an intimate slice of Paris. The food was incredible! It is on the menu, I highly recommend the beet gnocchi as an appetizer. My girlfriend and I had the duck breast, ora king salmon, with a side of cauliflower. Each bite left us feeling satisfied with the craving to have more . Well worth it for the experience, and the service was exceptional. I cannot wait until we eat here again!

    My husband took me to the chestnut hill location for my bday and our food was amazing. Since we had family in town for the holidays, we decided to go to the Tremont st location. It did not disappoint. The escargot were as good as any I had in Paris, a lot of flavor. We also got the French onion soup which was delicious and fitting for a cold Boston evening. Lotsssss of cheese! Our entree was a duck and mushroom risotto that they split for us- also very good. We will definitely be back but probably for special occasions as it is on the expensive side.
