Located at the corner of Boston's two most prominent avenues, Commonwealth and Massachusetts, Deuxave is a casual neighborhood restaurant offering an upscale experience with exceptional contemporary French cuisine and service. The menu is designed with an affordable price point, while offering the highest quality foods, using local and fresh ingredients.

The restaurant design is an upscale "Bostonian chic" style, incorporating a cosmopolitan and culturally sophisticated appearance to reflect the diner's desire to be comfortable, yet stylish during their night out.

The wine list at Deuxave boasts about 250 bottles, including 20 wines available by the glass, that is strongly routed in France, but also consists of wines selected from around the world. The bar offers the full menu, as well as craft cocktails made with unique, fresh flavors, and a selection of both local and Belgian style brews. Included in this space, which is equipped with a gas fireplace for warmth and added atmosphere, are two areas for semi-private dining.

During the warmer months, Deuxave opens its patio right so diners can sit outside and enjoy their meal in a beautiful see-and-be-seen setting.
