Quick info
About Petite Boucherie
On Christopher St, Petite Boucherie is a French restaurant with an open kitchen set behind large windows that look out onto the street. The space runs tight and cramped, with tables close together across the room. A menu of 86 dishes includes Soupe À L'Oignon, Pâté De Campagne, and Les Escargots, the last often paired with house bread. Beef bourguignon appears with mashed potatoes, and steak frites and the boucherie burger are recurring orders alongside a Prime Steak Tartare. Reservations are recommended given the compact seating. The entrance is step-free for visitors with mobility needs, and high chairs are on hand for families with young children. Outdoor seating adds tables beyond the main room, and the kitchen also offers takeaway and delivery for those eating off site. It opens daily.

Customer Review Summary
Steak frites emerges as the dish reviewers return to most, praised repeatedly as perfectly cooked, alongside the French onion soup, which most call rich and cheesy though one diner found it flavorless with poor-tasting cheese. Escargots and the beef bourguignon draw similar approval, and cocktails like the Papillon along with a wine list get frequent mention, as does a birthday visit featuring grilled salmon and a chocolate tart. The cozy, romantic bistro décor and big windows onto the street are consistently noted, and service is mostly called attentive and fast, with several praising specific staff members by role. But a recurring minority describe rudeness or visible annoyance from servers when dishes disappointed, one reviewer detailing a bland salad and a thin ham sandwich alongside an irritated server, another calling a lemonade bitter and the waitress unfriendly. A few also flag heaviness in dishes, a tough dry pork chop, or an overly warm dining room. Several describe returning specifically for a favored bartender's drinks and the regular staff's hospitality.

“We had a wonderful dining experience! Daniel and Fer were absolutely amazing—friendly, attentive, and made us feel welcome from the moment we arrived. They went above and beyond to ensure everything was perfect and their outstanding service …”

“My husband & I took some friends for brunch here, recently, & it was lovely. I'd been to one of their other locations, before, but found this "petite" boucherie especially charming, nestled as it is, on the corner of Christopher and Gay Street. Large windows let in ample light & the decor is likely to make you feel as if you've gone to Paris. The food is on the pricier side—$25 for yogurt, granola & berries—but the quality was excellent. Unless you're making more money than you know what to do with, this likely won't become your regular spot, but when you want something a little extra/special, I'd highly recommend it.”

“Restaurant in the West Village. Very tight atmosphere, but nicely maintained. The food was rich and had great taste. The service was outstanding and fast. The burger I had was great, aside from the bun being too toasted. My daughter had the Steak Frites which was outstanding. My wife had the Bourguignon and it too was outstanding. I order the tradtional French Onion Soup too, which was great. The creme brulet was ok, not too rich and tasty. Its a nice place for the area.”
