The authenticity of La Voile as a brasserie in the style of the French Riviera can be attributed to the fact that a lot of what guests see in the restaurant was imported directly from its original location on the Mediterranean coast. Founded in 63 years ago in the resort town of Cannes in southern France, La Voile (originally called La Voile au Vent) was a popular spot for sailors, travelers and even celebrities of the time. In Boston, the owners recaptured that essence of fine dining in a casual coastal atmosphere. Diners can enjoy a bottle of wine in the shade of an outdoor seating area and sample one of the restaurant's many authentic dishes. Executive chef Raphael Lambert is particularly known for his seafood. Try the Dover Sole or delicious fish soup.
