Best French Restaurants in Winchester

Outstanding food and service. Appetizer of foie gras was excellent and the magret canard with brussels sprouts and an orange sauce in a gravy boat was a perfect presentation for those who would like a choice of using the sauce. My preference has always been seared RARE duck breast served plain and thinly sliced. But this evening I did dip some of my duck into the sauce and was pleasantly surprised. My dinner partner felt her seared scallops were outstanding. My 10 year old son devoured his hamburger topped with a "ton" of melted gooey cheese and his frites were to his liking. My son and I have dined out together for 7 years and he is the perfect dinner companion with good manners and is a quiet conversationalist. I would not bring a child to Ma Maison who cannot maintain appropriate decorum that respects other diners. Two couples who shared a table next to us engaged my son in a conversation as we were leaving. At the end they brought me into the conversation and asked, "Can we take him home with us?" Of course I politely declined all the while thinking, "You could never afford him!" :-))

Our dining at Mistral was one of the best experiences we have had in Boston in over 50 years. The service was warm and welcoming - just spectacular - yet unobtrusive. The food was delicious and unique. It was a perfect meal in all respects.

It was an exceptional meal we did the 7 course tasting. The only thing was they brought it way too fast! When we asked to slow down it was a lot better but we got 3 courses out of 7 ln less than 15 minutes. We will definitely be back

As always, Bistro 5 was a great choice for our annual dinner together. This is truly the best place to go if you have food allergies, etc. They are so gracious, the food is delicious with deep flavors and fresh ingredients. The service is stellar. 10 out of 10!

We were seated by the window, hoping for a warm and cozy meal on a cold winter evening. Unfortunately, the large windows were very drafty, and we had to keep our coats on the whole time. The cold air was so noticeable that the short curtains were moving. It wasn’t just us—everyone sitting near the windows was bundled up in jackets and scarves, trying to stay warm while eating. The food and service might have been nice, but it was hard to enjoy with the constant chill. Hopefully, the restaurant fixes this because it has the potential to be a great, cozy spot.
