Best French Restaurants in Chestnut Hill

Great food and a nice, mildly boisterous ambiance. High prices - expect to spend $100 per person.

My girlfriend and I had an amazing experience last night at Sycamore celebrating our 1 year anniversary. We were greeted with warm smiles and 2 glasses of champagne by the owner, Brian. As non-drinkers, we kindly declined them but we were so thankful for the thoughtful gesture. We were sat down at our requested table to relive our first date which made for a special evening. Incredible service, delicious food, and romantic ambiance. We love Sycamore and can’t wait to come back again next year.

The "Volaille" and French onion soup were absolutely delicious and the service was excellent. I highly recommend this neighborhood gem.

Another wonderful meal and evening at Pammy’s, this time for a birthday celebration with a party of 5. Price-Fixe menu was great. I loved the Cobia and Squid Ink gnocchi. I was too full to complete the lumache, but took it home and it was excellent the next day. The lamb saddle, yakitori chicken and lasagna also got excellent reviews. Our server was knowledgeable, helpful and attentive.

From valet parking after horrendous Friday traffic, to an amuse bouche soup surprise, we laughed our way through three courses and a bottle of wine, at superb levels, including subtle duck in sauce, pepper perfect steak, huddled broccolini and a shared cardamon flan. We met, on our left, a visitor from England, avoiding her NY sister, and in our right, a cancer survivor keynote speaker. Great night out. Sorely needed .
