"It can be difficult to find a true Provençale restaurant in Boston that doesn't veer too closely to heavy-handed brasserie fare, but Bistro du Midi hits the mark—and throws in some coastal New England for good measure. The heirloom beets Lyonnaise with lardons and poached egg are almost too pretty too eat, and the sourdough crusted halibut comes in a heavenly lemongrass emulsion. If you can, spring for the elegant seven-course tasting menu with wine pairings—c'est superbe." - Todd Plummer, Shannon McMahon
