The intimate restaurant is like a restaurant you would find in the Marais area of a Paris. Heading down the semi steep stairs , you feel you are taken back in t...

Nestled just four blocks from Lincoln Center, La Boite en Bois presents a delightful option for pre- or post-show dining. With a quaint and intimate atmosphere, guests can savor authentic French cuisine, highlighted by popular dishes like crab cakes, Coq au Vin, and delightful pastries. While service may occasionally feel hurried, the friendly staff is always eager to please. Though the wine selection is somewhat pricey, its quality is undeniable. Reservations are recommended due to limited seating. Whether you’re indulging in a light lunch or a cozy dinner, La Boite en Bois promises a satisfying culinary experience reminiscent of France.
