About this restaurant

  • Neighborhood gem
  • Charming
  • 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.

    Our favorite comfort food just off Columbus Ave near Lincoln Center. As usual, the service and food was great. I had the salad nicoise with salmon which was so tasty and satisfying. My opera buddy had the cod, one of my favorites, but the salad beckoned. So good!

    Wonderful escargot. I had linguini with shrimp and scallops, my husband had chicken scallopini - both excellent. Very reasonable wine pricing. Good and friendly service.

    Picked this primarily for proximity to Lincoln Center, which was great. We ate inside and place was small but quaint. Had an early weekend lunch so we chose omelette and Eggs Benedict. Food was tasty and delivered promptly. Service was OK, a little slow as it got busier. But overall a convenient location with good food.

    This was my first time dining at La Boite en Bois, and it did not disappoint. My mom and I each had three courses, for appetizers we shared the Escargots Bourguignonne and Crepe filled with a medley of seafood & mushrooms in a light cognac sauce. Both were excellent, and the crepe was stuffed with delicious seafood, including perfectly done scallops. For an entree, there was a Branzino special which was out of this world, and I can't wait to go back to try the other entrees which all sounded amazing. My mom had the roasted salmon which she said was equally delicious. For dessert, we each got chocolate mousse, which was big enough to share, but we managed to both eat our own. Highly recommend eating here before a show at the Lincoln Center.

    We always enjoy coming here when we’re in NY. Great pretheater or anytime. Food and service are excellent. Tables are quite close to each other and that has contributed to our enjoyment because we have met such interesting people.

    Charming neighborhood spot. However, Food was just ok. Coq au vin very dry and You can’t go to a French bistro-like place and have terrible French fries.
