Boston Date Essential French Food Collection | Must go +💣

🇫🇷 Boston French Restaurant Roundup: The Hits, Misses, and My (Foie Gras) Obsession French restaurants love dim lighting—apologies for the unedited photos (I didn’t tweak the brightness after the first spot). But let’s be real: Taste > aesthetics. And when it comes to foie gras and escargots? These spots deliver (mostly). 🌟 The Standouts No.9 Park: 5 stars, splurge-worthy. Pricey, but service is next-level. Oysters? Fresh, sweet, and so good we ordered a second half-dozen ($3 each, standard). Foie gras? I tried both dishes—seared, silky, and perfect. Only letdown: Steak tartare was overly salty. La Voie: 5 stars, date night dream. First visited for a Christmas dinner—decked out with trees and decor, it’s stunning for photos. Their whole foie gras (not mousse) is my jam, and the escargots? Garlicky, buttery, and addictive. Ma Maison: 5 stars, my ride-or-die. Tiny, authentic, and so affordable. Portions are huge, service is warm, and everything—onion soup, escargots, dessert, pigeon—is incredible. It’s not the best for photos (hence no top spot for dates), but flavor-wise? Unbeatable. 😐 The “Meh” Ones Bistro Du Midi: 3 stars, overhyped. I fell for the hype twice (even during Restaurant Week) and left underwhelmed. Creative dishes, but execution is just “fine”—nothing compared to the others. Mistral: 3 stars, skip it. Generic French fare, no standout dishes. Every friend I warned agreed: It’s just… average. 📸 Pro Tip for French Eats Dim lighting = moody, romantic vibes—embrace the grainy photos. And if you find a spot that rivals Ma Maison (great food + cute for pics + budget-friendly)? Please tag me. #BostonFrenchFood #FoieGrasLovers #DateNightEats
