Tucked away in a brownstone on the Upper West Side, La Boite en Bois has been a favorite among diners since 1985. Family owned and operated, our attentive and well-trained staff will be sure to provide you with a memorable experience. As seen on Seinfeld, we are a short walk from Central Park, Lincoln Center, NYC Ballet, and the Metropolitan Opera.

With its rustic ambiance, diners are made to feel as though they are in a bistro in the French countryside. Serving classics from Escargot to Salmon to Roasted Duck to Mussels, you will be delighted with our extensive selections. We serve lunch everyday, with a variety of salads, soups, panini, and classic French dishes, such as Croque Monsieur, Seafood Crepes and Onion Soup. Come Saturday and Sunday for our Brunch, and enjoy Eggs Benedict, French Toast or a La Boite Burger.

    Great food but space is a bit tight. We would return just for the mushroom ravioli!

    Boite en Bois provides a lovely dining experience in a small and rustic setting. All of us were very happy with our starter (escargots) and the entrees, classically prepared French cuisine. And the desserts were very good- profiteroles and break pudding. Highly recommend it for a cozy, romantic dinner or dinner with a small group of friends.
