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.

Old school French — pate was not great. Crab cake same. Soppy crepes. And all came with the inattentive staff. We were there and there were few folks dining. The staff was unfriendly until they came by with 20% already set up as the tip. And there is no reason why they can’t make the interior a little lovely. A place floating by on its history and not the present.

A long-time classic French country restaurant on the UWS. Been a while since we were here. The hardest part is getting down the stairs to the restaurant. Once there, settle back for a very delicious and filling meal!

Boite en Bois provides a lovely dining experience in a small and rustic setting. All of us were very happy with our starter (escargots) and the entrees, classically prepared French cuisine. And the desserts were very good- profiteroles and break pudding. Highly recommend it for a cozy, romantic dinner or dinner with a small group of friends.
