Dans La Grande Cuisine

Over the past two years, the dining scene in the Fort Point neighborhood has become the hottest in the city. The area’s newest restaurant, Bastille Kitchen (49 Melcher St., 617-556-8000, bastillekitchen.net), is also its grandest. This French eatery, the latest venture from renowned restaurateur Seth Greenberg, features a large, lavish main dining room as well as a rustic, subterranean lounge known as the Chalet. No matter where you dine, you’ll find a dinner menu full of such familiar French fare as onion soup, escargot, bouillabaisse and steak frites as well as original twists on tradition from chef Adam Kube like tea-smoked mussels marinere, along with flatbreads and local and sustainable seafood options.
