Best of Boston

At Boston’s premier temple to Gallic gastronomy, the tables are sleek, the walls are silver, the tall windows and spacious patio overlook the Commonwealth Mall, and the fireplace glows. The kitchen, meanwhile, turns out luxurious highlights from the Parisian canon: caviar, duck confit, foie gras, roast chicken, and crème brûlée, bolstered by a deep, award-winning wine list and solicitous service. It’s that rare American with a perfect French accent.
