French Restaurants near Cambridge, MA

“We had our wedding at Batifol, with ceremony next door at the bakery. It was literally the most amazing experience. The Batifol team was extremely responsive, organized, and executed everything perfectly. The food was amazing - all of our guests said their Salmon and steak were cooked perfectly! And they allowed dietary changes for guests with all different kinds of restrictions (vegan, gluten free allergies). 100% recommend any day of the week. I also love their brunch and dinner menus. And If you want to have an intimate event, their event coordinators are out of this world!!! Thank you all for making out day so perfect!“

“Delicious food and beautiful atmosphere“

“The combination of refined cuisine, attentive staff, and an elegant setting made our visit exceptional. An ideal choice to enjoy a sophisticated meal with clients.“

“Fantastic breakfast! Best in Boston hands down.“

“Incredible! I dine here all the time.“

“Lots of thoughts on this one… and, some mixed feelings too. Classic escargots without the shell? Well, unexpected, to say the least. Certainly felt like we were missing out on the experience here. The blueberry tart was really a pie, in both appearance and design. A slightly confusing identity crisis on the plate, I would say. 😳

On the cocktail front, we liked Golden Hour, the peach cocktail from their new summer cocktail menu. Very peachy, very nice! Clouseau… not so much. Watered-down was the word that came to mind right away.

In all, the food was great, the conversation was even better, and the evening was a success! And yet, my search for a French restaurant in the Boston area that can top this one continues... Do you know one? I’m all ears 😉“

“A treasure of a restaurant on busy Cambridge St - walk through the door and you’re in a different world. Servers quickly become friends. Great spot for a romantic dinner for two but still a place where a solo diner feels welcome. Wonderful menu with choices for the adventurous and not so adventurous eater. My new favorite spot for lunch or dinner in Boston.“

“I love starting my day here - great food and a welcoming vibe every time.“

“This is really awesome🥰🥰“

“DELICIOUS FOOD. Very different food fair with choices for all diets. Excellent, friendly service. Good cocktails. I’ll be back !“

“Excellent food with very friendly and efficient wait staff“

“Visited again last night - food seems much better than in the past - and of course it is the wine list I come for - best in New England. Couple suggestions - please update the list! - 3 bottles we asked for were no longer available - it is impressive list - but I fear more and more of the bottles are not available. Other suggestion - lighting is very dim (? atmosphere) - so reading the list is impossible - would definitely give wait staff pen lights to give to folks on request. All that said - if you like good food, great wine, and very good service - great place to go to.“

“Thank you so much for the stay, I had a great time at your restaurant. I visited for lunch for the lobster roll! It matched and exceeded my expectations heavily. I definitely recommend this restaurant to any tourist that would like to taste lobsters at Boston.“

“Wonderful traditional French Country bistro with a very good wine list, we will be back! ☮️❤️🍷🍷🍷“

“I keep coming back here to celebrate my birthday! It's a lovely restaurant with exceptionally good staff. Andres (apologies if I misspelled your name!) was especially accommodating and made the entire evening so pleasant and memorable. Thank you!“

“Juliet was the perfect setting for our rehearsal dinner! We used their private space next door, which has both indoor and outdoor areas — we started with cocktails and snacks on the patio, then moved inside for a family-style dinner. Having both spaces was really nice in the summer weather made the night amazing.

The food, as always, was outstanding, and our guests couldn’t stop talking about it.

We also have to give a huge shoutout to the staff. Avery took wonderful care of our entire group all night. Her service was attentive, warm, and made everyone feel so well looked after. Communication and setup up with Katie was very clear and easy, too!

Juliet has become one of our favorite places in the Boston area (the burger is to die for!) and has been the backdrop for many special nights for us over the years. Thank you to the whole team for another great evening!“
