At Rochambeau, an upscale French brasserie in Boston's Back Bay, diners delight in classic dishes like coq au vin and steak frites, served in a chic setting with a spacious outdoor patio perfect for people-watching.
"Why wait for the weekend to order a mimosa when Rochambeau serves brunch seven days a week? Order French toast with nutella cream feuillertine, banana and aged rum anglaise or a croque madame on buttered brioche. There are plenty of classic savory French dishes as well like escargot and steak tartare." - Celina Colby, Erika Adams
"Rochambeau is known for decadent brunches filled with oysters and other raw bar snacks (and bubbly). The brioche French toast and crepes are also worth ordering. The multi-level restaurant — located right by Eataly at the Prudential Center — also has an all-day cafe attached." - Celina Colby, Eater Staff
"With six gorgeous private event areas in the restaurant, Rochambeau should be a top contender for anyone who’s hosting a large celebration in the heart of Boston. The restaurant is bright and elegantly decorated, offering a perfect backdrop for any occasion. It’s also highly customizable as the six spaces can be rented separately, with each holding a capacity of 12 to up to 70 seated (or 120 standing) guests. For more information, visit the restaurant website to submit an inquiry." - Valerie Li Stack, Eater Staff
"Located steps from the finish line on Boylston Street, French spot Rochambeau has a big outdoor patio for spectators, plus a special marathon menu that includes steak tartare, Bolognese, and steak frites. The front-row view of the runners is great; in other words, get there early to stake out a spot." - Valerie Li Stack, Erika Adams, Terrence Doyle
"A French brasserie offering classic dishes done well." - Rachel Leah Blumenthal
