Dining at dusk on this Provençal bistro’s patio, with the Public Garden in view and fine French wine at the lips, you’d almost think you were in a park-filled Paris arrondissement. (Though frankly, we prefer our accents.) We’ll miss just-departed longtime chef Robert Sisca, who built Bistro into the elegant experience it is, but successor Josue Louis is poised to preserve its polished seasonal sensibility through standout new dishes like fig- and lavender jus-brushed duck breast.
