Boucherie West Village stands as a love letter to classic French brasserie culture, tucked charmingly into one of the neighborhood’s most picturesque corners. The space itself sets the perfect mood with its warm woods, vintage fixtures, and that unmistakable Parisian ambiance that manages to feel both elegant and cozy. What truly distinguishes this spot is their dedication to traditional butchery and dry-aging techniques that elevate their meat offerings to something truly special.

The steak au poivre here is nothing short of magical – perfectly aged beef with a peppercorn crust that creates a beautiful counterpoint to the meat’s rich flavor, all bathed in a cognac cream sauce that you’ll want to soak up with every last bit of their crusty baguette. Their coq au vin achieves that perfect balance of rustic comfort and refined technique, while the seafood dishes like their bouillabaisse capture the essence of Provençal cooking.

What makes dining here particularly memorable is the service – knowledgeable without pretension, attentive without hovering. The bartenders craft impeccable classic cocktails, and the predominantly French wine list offers excellent options at various price points.

While certainly not an everyday indulgence for most budgets, Boucherie delivers genuine value through generous portions and an atmosphere that transports you straight to Paris. Whether for a romantic evening, a special celebration, or simply when you’re craving authentic French cuisine executed with passion, Boucherie West Village delivers a dining experience that honors tradition while feeling thoroughly contemporary.
