My 111th Restaurant in Boston | Mistral
[Year 3 abroad: I leave the cooking to the real chefs now] 📍 Mistral, Boston As an evergreen in Boston's French dining scene, Mistral once again proves that true classics never fade. Highlights: 🍷 Soft lighting and vintage decor create a relaxed, romantic atmosphere 🦆 Pan-seared duck breast cooked to perfection, with crispy skin and blush-pink meat 🐟 Mediterranean-style sea bass with lemon butter sauce, fresh and light 🍮 Molten chocolate cake that spills rich dark chocolate when cut - utterly therapeutic Diner's Notes: The sommelier's recommended Burgundy white wine had crisp, fruity notes The black truffle butter from the bread basket made us want to take ten portions home Service flowed as smoothly as a jazz melody A truth discovered after three years abroad: some pleasures are best left to the professionals to create ✨ #BostonFrenchCuisine #StudyAbroadDiningFreedom #FoodJournal #MistralExperience
