- PPaulVIPGreater Boston •16 reviews5.0Dined 1 day agoI haven't been to Aquitaine for over 15 years, so it was such a joy to go there for lunch and reminisce about all the wonderful meals I had there when I lived in the South End. It was a treat to go on a weekday when it was quiet and I thoroughly enjoyed my Croque Madame with a glass of Sparkling Rose while mentally planning a future visit.More infoAquitaine - BostonPrice: Moderate• French• South End•4.6
