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.

    It's a Summer Thing

    Location not great but one of the best Terrasse's in the city. Hard to find a better outdoor setting in the summer to eat in this city. Food is fine, you won't be disappointed but there is better. Service is great too but this place is all about the vibe in the summer. If it isn't patio weather, go somewhere else.
