Best French Restaurants in Malden

We had the most wonderful dinner at Café Saint Germain! From the moment we walked in, the cozy vibe immediately made us feel at home. We kicked things off with the salmon fumee and escargot, and both were incredible. Especially the escargot which was rich, garlicky, and buttery—absolutely perfect. For the main course, I had the coq au vin, and it was better than I had in Paris when I used to live there while I studied abroad. It was so tender, and perfectly cooked. My boyfriend got the bœuf bourguignon, and it was equally amazing—fall-apart tender beef and that classic deep, rich flavor you hope for. Can’t believe this place is right by my house. What really impressed me, though, was the wine list. It was clear a lot of thought went into it, with some really great options to pair with the dishes. We were suggested by our server the perfect wine for our meal, and it just rounded everything out so well. All in all, this place really nailed it, service was top notch, and I can’t wait to go back! It’s definitely my new favorite spot for French food.

We ate at Batfiol on Valentine's Day, 2025. Everything was perfect. The chef outdid himself in creating and executing the menu. The onion tart was delicious and interesting. The rack of lamb was perfect, served on the rare side of medium-rare, the mashed potatoes were yummy and so beautifully complimented by the sauce. After sharing one of the carrots with my husband, my generosity ended. Thank you for a lovely meal.

This place is one of my all-time favorites, and I have been coming here for years. Their wine dinners are a must for anyone who loves food and wine. The pairings are always spectacular; the team works diligently to choose excellent wines that perfectly complement the dishes they prepare. They go the extra mile by educating guests about the wines and the regions they come from. Additionally, attendees have the opportunity to purchase some of the featured wines during the event, which is a great bonus. I rarely write reviews, but last night was such an exceptional experience that I felt compelled to share it. The whole team at Catalyst did a tremendous job making us all feel special.

Wonderful experience. We love Ma Maison. We also celebrated our 20 anniversary on Valentine's day and Ma Maison made us feel special.

First visit to Pammy's to celebrate a b-day. Service was wonderful, thoughtful tips, frequent check ins, great energy. There were a few menu items that we needed to clarify before ordering as we were unfamiliar with items...but all part of the fun. The food was outstanding, I tried the lobster with squid ink gnocchi ...exceptional! The restaurant is kind of cozy...small floor plan with a communal center table. It all works, but if you have a larger group..book ahead to get one of the separate side tables.
