Petite Boucherie is a charming slice of Paris nestled in the heart of the West Village. The moment you spot its classic French bistro façade with those signature green awnings and rattan chairs, you’ll feel transported across the Atlantic without the jet lag. This cozy corner spot on Christopher Street captures that je ne sais quoi that makes French dining so eternally appealing.

The menu celebrates traditional French cuisine without getting stuck in the past. Their steak frites is exactly what you want it to be – a perfectly cooked piece of meat alongside impossibly crispy fries that somehow never seem to lose their crunch. The mussels arrive in a white wine broth so good you’ll be asking for extra bread to soak up every last drop. And their French onion soup? It strikes that ideal balance of sweet onions, rich broth, and gooey cheese that warms you from the inside out.

What makes Petite Boucherie special is how it manages to feel simultaneously special and comfortable. The service strikes that perfect note between attentive and relaxed. Whether you’re stopping in for a casual weeknight dinner or celebrating something special, the restaurant adapts to your mood.

Come for the authentic French fare, stay for the quintessential Village ambiance that reminds you why dining in New York is unlike anywhere else.
