The Beacon Hill Bistro is one of our Top 10 Restaurants for Easter Brunch in the U.S.
 Owners Peter and Cecilia Rait run a wholly different show than other restaurateurs, one devoid of ego and very smooth---a result of their European hotel school background. The restaurant is a long, thin, bright room with slightly arched ceilings, torch-like sconces and an oh-so-Parisian tile floor; to celebrate the acquisition of the first full liquor license to be issued on Charles Street in decades, an eight-seat bar was installed. The neighborhood's sophisticates linger over a rather reasonable wine list and mingle over streamlined bistro plates that boast a mixture of local products and provincial French conceptions. Seasonal entrées look to the heart and north of France in colder weather, to the Riviera when it's warm out. Dinner appetizers may include cauliflower and leek soup, salt cod brandade croquettes, and steamed Maine mussels with leeks, roasted tomatoes, Stella Artois and herb aïoli, while main courses might range from roasted chicken breast with sweet potato purée, roasted Brussels sprouts, bacon and sage to seared scallops with sweet corn purée, lobster, corn, bacon and potato ragout. The dessert cart is sure to trigger overseas memories. Brunch and lunch star omelets, steak frites and other simple favorites.
