Boire's food is a celebration of what the french call a "cuisine de marché". Chef Caliopi Buck buys all of her meats and most of her vegetables straight from the farmers. The menu changes constantly with a choice of just three entrees, three mains and three desserts.
Boire's determination is to use local, when possible organic produces but always truly seasonal. Free range and organic meats are served, and traditional pâtés and rillettes are prepared in-house. Organic milk and eggs are always used to make deserts.
