Birch Street Bistro opened its doors in May 2003 and is located in Roslindale Village. For the past 13 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.
“Absolutely fabulous atmosphere…cocktails out of sight…delicious cuisine, and the service is PLATINUM!””
“Rosindale has some great restaurants and this is one of them.”
“We have been fans for years - love the food and atmosphere. It’s great to have this in Rozzie!”
