Café Fleuri serves Mediterranean cuisine in an elegant, airy and distinctly European atmosphere. The interior of this atrium restaurant, designed by noted Parisian architect Pierre Yves Rochon, features a picturesque trellis covering the main dining area that creates an intimate feel while affording views up to the soaring atrium ceiling. A show kitchen allows diners to glimpse the culinary creativity firsthand. An enduring hot spot for Boston’s power brokers, Café Fleuri was awarded “Best Power Breakfast” honors by Boston Magazine in 1999 and 2001. The restaurant also presents an award-winning Sunday Jazz Brunch Buffet, as well as a unique Chocolate Bar Buffet.
