Good for special occasions

Tucked away in a brownstone on the Upper West Side, La Boite en Bois has been a favorite among diners since 1985. Family owned and operated, our attentive and well-trained staff will be sure to provide you with a memorable experience. As seen on Seinfeld, we are a short walk from Central Park, Lincoln Center, NYC Ballet, and the Metropolitan Opera.

With its rustic ambiance, diners are made to feel as though they are in a bistro in the French countryside. Serving classics from Escargot to Salmon to Roasted Duck to Mussels, you will be delighted with our extensive selections. We serve lunch everyday, with a variety of salads, soups, panini, and classic French dishes, such as Croque Monsieur, Seafood Crepes and Onion Soup. Come Saturday and Sunday for our Brunch, and enjoy Eggs Benedict, French Toast or a La Boite Burger.

Arrived for reservation on time and still a 20 min wait…. Lady said she called me earlier in day to lmk about possible delay, but didn’t leave a message… Had she left one I would’ve maybe never wasted the time to come down because we had tickets at LC and couldn’t wait another 20 min for out table. Caught an attitude when I asked why she didn’t leave a message… do your job better
