La Voile

La Voile brings a French dining room to Newbury Street, right down to the zinc bar, vintage chandeliers, and furnishings brought over from France. Sailing pictures and photography give you something to look at between courses. The menu follows the same direction, with rillettes, Burgundy-style escargots, duck breast, fish soup, and Mediterranean sea bass among the restaurant’s French dishes.

Lunch and dinner are separate services, with a break in the afternoon, so a late lunch needs some planning. There is also a dinner prix fixe menu and a wine list if you want to make an evening of it. This is a place to consider when you want a seated French meal and time over a bottle, rather than a quick bite between shops.
