Bistro Boris
Bistro Boris Review
Behind a freestanding facade (all the remains of a burned-out historic building) is one of the best alfresco dining areas in the city. Like an enchanted forest, the tree-shaded terrasse draws crowds to sip strawberry-infused Caipi Sake or glasses of Kir Royal. Fodorites love the outdoor tables, which fill up quickly, but diners sitting inside are heartened by the new glass wall looking onto the patio and sidewalk. Clients inside and out wash down French dishes of duck and lamb salad with goblets of exclusive Italian rosé and more than 22 varieties of wine by the glass—most of it organic. Note: children and minors are not allowed inside the bistro and must be accompanied by an adult if sitting on the terrace.
