Best Contemporary French Restaurants in Dorchester

It’s pricy but everything is delicious. The service wonderful and on the quieter side, for my elderly aunt.

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

As a frequent diner at 80 Thoreau I was a little concerned about their menu changes. Last night we tried 4 “Smalls” and 1 “Medium” from their menu. Ian helped w our choices and Andrew selected a great wine to accompany pur varied menu. Yellow fin tuna crudo, Poached lobster in bisque foam, Bay scallops w green apple and Duck consommé w duck confit. Each serving was small but delicious. Then the Medium option was divided for us. Paccheri-Beef, pancetta, fennel w Parmigiano Reggiano finished our outstanding dining experience. Bravo 80 Thoreau!

Everything we ordered was fantastic, from the appetizers to the drinks to the entrees. As a bread roll enthusiast, I have to give a shout-out to the best rolls I think I've ever had. Seriously folks, I'd come back here again just to have the bread rolls - they really were that good. Come here to have a great time, feel like a million bucks, and eat some exquisite food.
