Boston’s Best
Bistro
by Aoife Hughes
An incredible
hideaway located in South End, Mistral is a restaurant not to be looked past.
Highlighted in Boston’s Best numerous times, the culinary genius that comes
from Mistral Bistro is incredible. It is noted as a “Hole for the well-heeled”
and “Guaranteed Great Meal” as well as “Upscale Bar” in Boston Best.
Jamie Mamanno
opened the restaurant in 1997, and since then it has flourished. On their
website, Mistral is described as “Gracious. Sophisticated. Seductive.
Distinctive.” Most recently,
Crowd pleasers
on Mistral’s current menu include their Whole Roasted Duck and Wild Mushroom
Risotto, Red Wine Braised Short ribs with Potato and Smoked Tomato, and
Tomato,
Mozzarella and Oregano Pizza.
The desert menu
includes rich profiteroles and refreshing sorbet along with crème Brule and a
creative chocolate pizza.
The waiting
staff takes care of your every need and are not overpowering to an extent that
you cannot enjoy your meal. The food arrived promptly after ordering and no one
had any issues with their order.
The atmosphere
in the restaurant was perfect; not too noisy and not too dark or bright. The
restaurant quickly filled up come 6:30 in the evening, regardless of the fact
it was a Thursday evening.
Boston should be
proud of Mistral. The bistro is the epitome of a restaurant and the food is
nothing short of incredible. Although pricey, if one is looking for a place to
enjoy a good meal and a great atmosphere, look no further than Mistral.
