About this restaurant

  • Good for special occasions
  • Great for fine wines
  • Charming
Bistro du Midi's cuisine features French Cuisine inspired by Coastal New England influences. Our wine list represents the true soul of a bistro wine list. In a classic French bistro, wine is very much a part of every meal. As such, we offer a variety of experiences and wines at a tremendous value in a range of prices. Our elegant yet relaxed environment overlooks Boston's beautiful Public Garden with a spectacular view. A street level Bistro features floor-to-ceiling windows, and in the spring and summer our patio provides some of the most optimal al fresco dining in the city.

    I met an old friend for lunch and we felt very comfortable, the service is excellent, professional, and attentive . The food is really good , they have a price fix menu for lunch which is so worthwhile , delicious French food , great portions . The al la carte menu is also very good . Wine by the glass is good and very reasonable, I had the Rose , med/ dry . I really like this place , Arlington T stop is the closest on the green line and you’re literally opposite the Boston public gardens to walk off your food in beautiful surroundings . Go for it !

    The food and service were absolutely exceptional!!! This is the best dining experience I’ve had in a long time. My wife and I have never had a “our special place” kind of restaurant that we keep going back to but Bistro du Midi has now become that. We look forward to our next visit!

    I’ve dined at Bistro for more than a decade. My visit on 4/28 was the best I’ve ever had. From Dino the Somm and his recommendations on wine, to Luis my server, they were exceptionally attentive of every detail. Nick and Noah took care of all my beverage requests after dinner. The culinary experience was above and beyond; every note of each course was outstanding. Chef Robert, Chef David, and Chef Tab are making magic with each course. William’s service was the perfect touch of knowledge and hospitality. I will be selecting Bistro for not just all my upcoming special occasions, but whenever I need a respite from the everyday.

    Compliments to our server, Roland, and the very attentive staff. My friend had tuna tartare and stinging nettle gnocchi and loved every bite. We shared a chocolate soufflé - perfect, as always! We sat upstairs, where the menu is a little fancier and the dining room is quieter and has a lovely view of the Public Garden. Thank you for a wonderful evening.
