About La Grande Boucherie

On W 53rd St in New York, La Grande Boucherie is a French restaurant set in an expansive art nouveau-style space with a heated atrium. Wood paneling, café-style tables, and vaulted ceilings with greenery overhead run through the dining room, with upstairs tables offering a view and additional seating near the bar. The menu spans 60 dishes, from a seafood plateau with oysters, shrimp, and clams to French classics like onion soup and steak frites, plus recurring orders such as duck confit and beef bourguignon. Crème brûlée and profiteroles round out dessert, and the cocktail list includes non-alcoholic options alongside classic drinks. A private dining room accommodates groups, and dogs are welcome throughout. The restaurant opens daily, and a wait is common at peak times. The atrium extends into a patio-style seating area for those dining outside the main room.

Customer Review Summary

Steak frites emerges as the dish reviewers return to most, with the côte de boeuf pour deux and its perfectly cooked, well-seasoned prime steak drawing repeated praise alongside crispy fries. Close behind, the beef bourguignon (served hot in a crock) and duck confit earn frequent mention, and starters like escargot and Caesar salad with its traditional sardine come up often too. Desserts, especially crème brûlée and profiteroles, are consistently singled out, and the cocktail program draws steady praise for creative, well-balanced drinks, though a couple of reviewers found the lobster pasta bland and the La Vie en Rose cocktail flavorless. The Art Nouveau dining room, with vaulted ceilings and an atrium, comes up constantly as central to the experience, and servers are repeatedly credited with warm, attentive care, including surprise birthday and anniversary gestures. Some friction recurs: one diner found the vegetarian substitution policy inflexible when bacon couldn't be swapped for potatoes, another was seated too close to a noisy waiter station, and one noted cramped upstairs tables and a poorly heated patio in winter. Several reviewers mention requesting reservations in advance.

    “We had dinner at La Grande Boucherie last night and had an amazing experience! Our appetizers and entree were cooked to perfection, and the cocktails were fantastic! For our appetizer, we ordered the Soup À Lòignon and the prime steak tartare. For our entree, we had the Côte de Boeuf Pour Deux with pommes purée as a side. For dessert, we ordered the crème brûlée. Everything was wonderful! Our server was so sweet and very attentive! The restaurant is gorgeous inside. The perfect date night spot! It’s definitely a go-to restaurant in NYC! I highly recommend La Grande Boucherie and look forward to visiting again soon!”

    “Whenever the restaurant is built inside of an atrium between two buildings in Manhattan , it gives a spectacular view and ambience. The food is typical bistro style food casual. Escargot, steak tartare, escargot 🐌, Gaspacho, etc. The food here is really good. Staff is very nice. Being in the atrium really speaks for itself that’s the main selling point. Great for date night. It’s like being in a Parisian bistro back in the early 1900s. Give this place a try if you’re in the area. We will definitely be going back.”

    “This is by far one of the most elegant, old style, touristy French restaurant/brasseries. It's located right smack in the center of the city and the food is fantastic. They are super busy, and the waitstaff are terrific and helpful. They also open very late-- when other restaurants are closed or closing. The food is perfect for any age group-- kids included-- and their frites are perfect.”
