Boucherie

French-style New York brasserie

Boucherie is a chain of three French brasseries opened by a Macedonian with a passion for our country and its cuisine.

The chain has three restaurants in West Village, Greenwich Village and a newest one opened in February 2018 near Union Square. In the kitchen, French chef Jerome Dihui prepares well-executed classics such as black pudding with apples ($20), frog legs with parsley ($22) and boeuf bourguignon ($49).

Not to be missed under any circumstances? Steak tartare, available as a “small portion” ($25) or “large portion” ($31) starter. Fresh, well-prepared and well-balanced, it's served with salad and toasted bread with butter.

We enjoyed this traditional recipe with capers, shallots and parsley, as well as the quail egg to drizzle over the top. Glass of Cabernet Sauvignon accompanies for $17.

Boucherie, 99 7th avenue, (212) 353-0200 / 99 7th Ave S, (212) 837-1616 / 14 Christopher St, (646) 756-4145.
