What People Are Saying
from Google"C’est manifique!! I am at a loss to describe how much I loved the food at this French bistro. A small quaint bistro with less than maybe fifteen tables, the menu reflects a much grander experience than you might expect. The foie gras as an appetizer was superb (might use that word a lot). The French onion soup was also excellent (and finally, a restaurant that doesn’t oversalt their soup). As for the mains. The scallops were served with salsa were excellent. Also, fortunately, I read the menu the day before so I was able to give them a days notice for the Dover sole. Wow! I could order that every day. Finally, I finished with the chocolate and the Grand Marnier soufflés. Both great - but the chocolate was better (put some Grand Marnier in the sauce). Oh, and prices were more than reasonable. The wine list was fairly extensive with some good second growths on the list. Can’t wait to go back for the half a dozen other items on the menu that I crave."
"Came here for our anniversary. Super tiny place, not many seats so it felt a bit cramped. They gave us a complimentary drink for us celebrating. Since we arrived close to closing we ordered both courses at once. The steak tartare & the french onion so up. Both tasted great. Next course the lamb shank & the boneless bourguignon. My husband didn't care for the sausage that came with the lamb but I thought it had good flavor. Finally we were also given a small anniversary dessert. Very tiny so we also got the apple tart. Both had good flavor. This was our first time going. I would return."
"Ma Maison is a true gem for anyone craving authentic French cuisine in Boston’s Beacon Hill Neighborhood. From the moment we arrived, the service was warm, attentive, and thoroughly professional. The meal began with a crisp endive salad, a French onion soup, and a seared fois gras paired with a rhubarb compote. The endive salad came with pears and Brie cheese, but was a bit bland. The French onion soup was very good but it could have been a bit richer in flavor and could have benefited from some brandy or sherry. The fois gras was absoutly lovely and the rhubarb compote added just the right touch of tartness. For our mains, the coq au vin was rich and hearty, but the chicken was a bit dry, the carrots overcooked and we missed the glazed onions, carrots and mushrooms. The magret de canard with its cherry reduction struck a wonderful balance between savory and sweet and was a truly a memorable dish. We finished with a non-classic tarte tatin and a vanilla soufflé. The tarte tatin was on puff pastry instead of the traditional pâte sucrée and the apples were not caramelized enough; this dish was a bit of a letdown. The soufflé, on the other hand, was light, airy, and subtly sweet and as close to a perfection as possible. Ma Maison is an elegant reminder that timeless French cooking never goes out of style. Each dish we had showcased classic technique and balance, highlighting the kitchen’s respect for traditional flavors. Highly recommended for anyone seeking an authentic French dining experience in Boston."
"We visited Ma Maison for lunch and were seated right away. Wonderful service. Sweet little place on the corner in Cambridge. The salad with the crusted goat cheese was delicious. Don't skip the goat cheese! Tomato soup was creamy, bubbling and perfect. It paired perfectly with their bread. Salmon with ratatouille will be in my dreams. This was one of our favorite meals during our visit to New England."
"A splendid restaurant red with everyday French fare that won’t break the bank! Ma Maison really makes you feel at home, with yummy soups and delicious dishes with a Euro-Bostonian vibe that is irresistible. I had the scallops that came beautifully presented on a shell and a refreshing cocktail. Perfect for an afternoon around town, a casual date or just when the crave of solid French food hits! Highly recommended."
