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.

    Crab cakes were excellent. And a top quality crème brûlée. Used to come here many years ago but moved to the Midwest. Had to try here again while in town and they may even be better than before.

    Food is delicious. We ordered crab cake as an appetizer, it was a bit small, but good. Place is a bit small, makes you feel you’re in Paris! That’s the only thing. Otherwise I definitely recommend this place!
