Best of Boston

1999 Best American Restaurant

Aujourd’hui

Don’t let the name fool you. Aujourd’hui’s fare is not so much French as New American, and arguably the New American in town at that. Appetizers include seared foie gras with white-sweet-potato puree, mango and ginger, and house-cured salmon roulade with crab meat, horseradish and cucumber; and entrees include medallions of veal tenderloin and seared ahi tuna. Impeccable service and lovely views overlooking the Public Garden. Pricey, but worth it.
