"Classic is the name of the game at this white tablecloth French restaurant that’s been dishing out Burgundy escargot and coq au vin in the neighborhood for a decade. Spearheaded by French-born chef Jacky Robert, the menu sticks to classics done well. Plan ahead by checking the plats du jour menu with sweetbreads on Wednesdays, veal kidneys every Friday, and lamb chops for Sundays." - Celina Colby
"In this village so typical of Alsace set between Ribeauvillé and Illhaeusern, Manon Nasti and her partner, Italian chef Lucas Di Palma, have renovated this converted 18C hunting lodge in a simple and cosy contemporary style. The delicious Italian cuisine pays homage to the chef's grandfather. The set menus and à la carte options include classic dishes with a twist (risotto alla milanese, troccoli alla carbonara, lamb saltimbocca, "contemporary" tiramisu) and seasonal suggestions centred on top-notch ingredients (tagliatelle with truffle, scallops with carrots and guanciale emulsion). Modern and masterly!" - Michelin Inspector
"Kids can dig into a mini French feast at Ma Maison, where the menu for les petits includes kid-sized burgers, small cuts of steak, fish sticks with steamed broccoli, and more. The cherry on top? The restaurant donates all of the revenue from the kids menu to the nonprofit Chefs Feed Kids, which supports underprivileged children in the Philippines." - Erika Adams
"We almost don’t want to tell anybody about this incredible French restaurant. But, alas, that’s our job. The homey corner bistro with white linen on the tables serves classics like escargot, chicken coq au vin, and duck magret with cherries. While the food is fancy, the room stays pretty casual—you can roll up in jeans (but maybe leave the Bruins jersey at home), sit under a ceiling fan, and relax while Grand Marnier is poured onto the souffle you’re about to make disappear." - tanya edwards
"Chef Jacky Robert’s Cambridge Street joint, located on the edge of Beacon Hill and the West End, offers French classics like coq au vin and Provençal-style frog’s legs. Ma Maison also doesn’t shy away from organ meats, serving calf’s liver on the regular menu as well as a few weekly specials, such as sweetbreads on Wednesdays." - Celina Colby
