One of the Back Bay's premier dining destinations for French Mediterranean cuisine pleases fussy gourmands while satisfying the fashionable and trendy.

The Scene
Mistral is as much a place to dine as a place to preen. The bar area is such a hot spot that well-dressed locals hover just to be in on the action. The overall look is modernist-Provencal with some carefully-crafted wall patches worked in amid towering, arched windows. Though huge, the space--flowingly divided into bar, cafe and restaurant--is oddly intimate. Stylish servers try to not let the commotion overwhelm them.

The Food
The exceptionally modern menu incorporates a plethora of high-end ingredients (boutique lettuces, truffles, forest mushrooms). Among starters, fresh brioche is stuffed with morsels of seared foie gras and confit of duck, all covered in a reduction of Wisconsin cherries. Entrees feature high-end fish and game like Dover sole, Cornish game hen and Colorado lamb. Thin-crust pizzas (typical variety: beef tenderloin, mashed potato and white truffle oil) prove popular for sharing at the bar.

Opentable Reservations

The design of Mistral is both elegant and casual, resonating with the ambiance of Provence as arched floor to ceiling windows drench the room with light. To browse, search and reserve wines online for an upcoming table reservation please click here:: Mistral Bistro Wine List
