La Boucherie

We are so happy La Boucherie participated in Magical Dinning this year. Otherwise, we never would have known they existed. Just around the corner from "Restaurant Row," La Boucherie is an amazing gem tucked away in an unassuming shopping plaza on Turkey Lake, just north of Sand Lake Rd. In an area where expensive chain restaurants dominate, La Boucherie is a privately owned small business. My husband and I ordered off the Magical Dinning menu. We had the escargot and beef carpaccio for apps, and we both had braised short ribs for our entree. Everything was just impeccable. The food, the service, the cocktails...EVERYTHING! We were especially impressed by the owner who introduced himself when he brought us our bread. We watched him constantly monitor the dining room, checking on tables, running food, and making sure everyone had everything they needed. Our waitress was very attentive and personable. While the hubby and I were discussing what cocktail we wanted, another waitress overhead our conversation and made recommendations based on what she heard. Her recommendations were spot on, and the drinks were delicious. We were excited to learn from our waitress that they offer brunch on the weekends and can't wait to try it. We will be back, and we will bring friends/family! We are very much looking forward to trying other dishes. Recommend 10/10!

We chose La Boucherie because it’s magical dining month and we wanted something a little different. My first impression was that, unlike many French restaurants, La Boucherie isn’t pretensions. The menu, service and atmosphere all seemed quite relaxed. The food was good. We both had the lamb shank and creme brûlée — both good but not the best I’ve ever had. All in all, a good restaurant.

The restaurant is clean and quiet. We celebrated my wife's birthday and they were super sweet to her. I'd gladly return.

Stopped by on a whim and was pleasantly surprised. I was shopping next door and caught off guard how nice of a restaurant this place is, highly recommend. I had the 3 course meal for 35 (salad, salmon, and creme brulee) and it was excellent. Live music was a nice touch, especially with how empty the restaurant was. I'd stop by again no question.

We were seated right away, we opted for patio seating. The French bread is spectacular! Served hot and crispy on the outside and chewy on the inside! Love it, I ordered seconds lol- I had brunch so I went with the steak and eggs! Everyone’s temp on the steak is different so if you usually like medium well, order it medium instead. I definitely will be coming back with my girl friends!

I had the Croque Madame. From my first bite to my last bite it was sensational. The bread brought to the table reminded me of my vacation in France. The croissant sandwich was next level for my friend. We were full so we took home some dessert. The crème brûlée was wonderful and the meringue in sauce anglaise was the divine. The meringue was like the top of a lemon meringue pie and the sauce was sweet like custard. Would recommend.

Stopped in on a whim. Live music was great. Owner stopped by and thanked us for visiting. Our initial service was a bit slow, but fine afterward. The bread was delicious. For entree, I had the duck breast, wife had salmon. Both were cooked perfectly to our preferences. The veggies were a bit greasy, however they still tasted good. I'd take a friend there. Good stuff
