Walking into Boucheries feels like stepping into a hidden corner of Paris. A intimate and relaxed atmosphere really set the mood for savoring the classic French dishes they offer. We started with the escargot, which was buttery and perfectly seasoned, and moved on to the rich and tender beef bourguignon. The wine pairing recommendation was to die for. If you're in the mood for fine French dining in the West Village, this is the place.

We had an amazing dinner experience last night. Our waitress Kathy, from Venezuela, was one of the best parts of our evening. She was in tuned to our needs, knowledge of the menu and drinks, and very charismatic. Our meal was delicious, I got the spaghetti and the addition of baratta cheese was fantastic. The atmosphere was the icing on the cake. I felt like we were in some far away land. The twinkle lights, the trees, it was magical.
