Birch Street Bistro
Boston's Best Neighborhood Nightlife
Photos by Tyra bleek, alexis winston, & Sean Murphy
Birch Street Bistro opened its doors in May 2003 and is located in Roslindale Village. For the past 14 years, the Bistro's esteemed chef, Marcelo de Oliveira, has been serving both quality interpretations of classic dishes and daring new ventures with the change in season.
Birch Street Bistro's interior is a recreation from a turn of the century blacksmith shop -high ceilings, exposed brick, a granite bar and large windows look out onto the chic shops of Birch St.
