What to know before you visit La Grande Boucherie

The four things first-time visitors most often ask — answered at a glance.

Grand Seafood Tower

The signature centrepiece — multi-tiered with oysters, lobster, crab, and shrimp. Market price; order for the table.

Signature main
Steak Frites

The quintessential brasserie dish. Prime cut, pommes frites, Bearnaise or au poivre sauce.

Free-range chicken off the rotisserie with herb jus and crispy skin. Available half or whole.

Classic aperitif
Kir Royale / French 75

Champagne and cassis or gin/Champagne with lemon — the Parisian bar program in two glasses.

Raw bar

La Grande Boucherie Raw Bar: Oysters, Towers & Shellfish

The raw bar is one of the defining features of any grand French brasserie, and La Grande Boucherie's is no exception. The Grand Seafood Tower — a multi-tiered statement of oysters, lobster, shrimp, crab, and langoustines — is the most-ordered item in the restaurant and a near-mandatory order for any group of three or more. Market pricing applies to the tower and to most shellfish; confirm with your server.

Table centrepiece

Grand Seafood Tower

The signature multiple-tier raw bar arrangement. Oysters on the half shell, cold poached lobster, jumbo shrimp cocktail, crab claws, and langoustines arranged on a tiered ice stand. Market price — order at least one for every three diners.

Daily selection

Oysters on the Half Shell

Market selection of East Coast (Wellfleet, Blue Point, Island Creek) and West Coast (Kumamoto, Marin Miyagi) oysters with mignonette and cocktail sauce. Ask your server for today's provenance and availability.

Classic starter

Tuna Tartare

Hand-chopped yellowfin tuna with avocado, shallots, capers, and a citrus vinaigrette — the cooked-fish option for those who prefer it over the oyster-led selections.

What to order

Six La Grande Boucherie dishes to know before you visit

If it's your first time at La Grande Boucherie, these are the dishes that define the restaurant — the ones reviewers and regulars return for.

Signature

Grand Seafood Tower

Multi-tiered raw bar tower — oysters, jumbo shrimp, crab claws, langoustines, cold lobster. The defining dish of the restaurant; shared at the table.

Rotisserie

Poulet Roti

Whole or half rotisserie chicken, herb jus, pommes frites. The rotisserie is visible in the dining room — a theatrical brasserie touch.

Classic

Steak Frites

The ultimate Parisian brasserie main: prime hanger or bavette steak, crispy frites, choice of Bearnaise or sauce au poivre.

Classic

Escargots de Bourgogne

Burgundy snails baked in garlic-herb-parsley butter. The Parisian starter by which brasseries are judged.

Sharing

Cote de Boeuf

Bone-in dry-aged rib steak for two, with bordelaise sauce and pommes Pont-Neuf. The grandest table statement on the menu.

Dessert

Profiteroles

Classic cream puffs with vanilla ice cream and warm Valrhona chocolate sauce. A brasserie dessert tradition.

Rotisserie

The Rotisserie: Poulet Roti, Lamb & Duck

The open rotisserie is a focal point of the dining room — slow-turning birds and roasts visible from much of the restaurant. The rotisserie program covers free-range chicken (half or whole), leg of lamb, and rotisserie duck. Each comes with classic brasserie accompaniments: herb jus, pommes frites or flageolet beans. The whole chicken is an ideal shared main for two.

For one / For sharing

Poulet Roti

Free-range chicken from the rotisserie, herb jus, and pommes frites. Available as a half (generous individual portion) or whole (ideal for two). Consistently cited as one of the best rotisserie chickens in NYC.

Weekend special

Rotisserie Leg of Lamb

Slow-roasted leg of lamb on the rotisserie, finished with natural jus and served with flageolet beans. A French brasserie Sunday special — availability may vary; confirm with your server.

Steaks & Chops

Steak Frites, Cote de Boeuf & the Meat Program

French brasseries are defined as much by their meat program as their raw bar, and La Grande Boucherie honours that tradition with prime hanger or bavette steak frites, a bone-in Cote de Boeuf for sharing, and rack of lamb with a Dijon herb crust. The Cote de Boeuf — a dry-aged, bone-in rib steak for two — is the grandest statement on the menu and is meant to be shared tableside.

Brasserie classic

Steak Frites

The signature brasserie main: prime cut cooked to order, golden pommes frites, and your choice of Bearnaise or sauce au poivre. The benchmark dish of any French brasserie — and the one to order on a first visit.

For two · Grand format

Cote de Boeuf

Dry-aged bone-in rib steak, served with pommes Pont-Neuf (thick-cut bistro fries), watercress salad, and bordelaise sauce. The most theatrical meat dish on the menu — served carved tableside.

French bistro

Duck Confit

Classic slow-confit duck leg, rendered until the skin is lacquered and crispy, with flageolet beans and a lardons-and-shallot vinaigrette. The Parisian bistro alternative to steak for those who prefer fowl.

Seafood & Fish

Bouillabaisse, Sole Meuniere & the Seafood Program

Beyond the raw bar, La Grande Boucherie's hot seafood program covers French classics: Moules Mariniere (mussels in white wine), Sole Meuniere (whole Dover sole in brown butter), the Provencal Bouillabaisse, and seared day-boat scallops. For a guest who prefers fish over meat, this section of the menu is one of the strongest in the restaurant.

Provencal classic

Bouillabaisse

Traditional Marseille-style seafood stew with fish, shellfish, and a deep saffron broth. Served with grilled croutons and the essential rouille. One of the most labour-intensive dishes on the menu and one of the most rewarding.

French tableside classic

Sole Meuniere

Whole Dover sole, pan-fried in beurre noisette, finished with fresh lemon, capers, and parsley. The dish that reportedly made Julia Child fall in love with French cooking — ordered tableside, deboned by the server on request.

Sides & Desserts

Sides, Desserts & the Sweet Finish

La Grande Boucherie's sides lean into the great French bistro canon: pommes frites (thin-cut and golden), Robuchon-style pommes puree, gratin Dauphinois, haricots verts, and ratatouille. The dessert menu follows suit — Profiteroles with warm Valrhona chocolate sauce, classic Creme Brulee, Tarte Tatin, and a seasonal Cheese Plate for those who prefer to finish with fromage rather than something sweet.

Sides worth ordering

The Truffle Mac and Cheese (baked gratin with black truffle and gruyere) is the most indulgent side and the one most likely to appear on social media. The Gratin Dauphinois is a quieter standout — layered potato, cream, gruyere, and nutmeg. For a lighter accompaniment, the Haricots Verts with garlic butter and almonds or the simple Salade Verte are the right call.

Dessert picks

The Profiteroles with warm Valrhona chocolate sauce are the most-ordered dessert. The Creme Brulee is textbook — vanilla, the snap of caramelised sugar, and nothing extraneous. The Tarte Tatin, served warm with creme fraiche, is the dessert to order if you want something quintessentially French.

  • Most-ordered side: Pommes Frites — thin-cut, golden, with house aioli
  • Indulgent side: Truffle Mac & Cheese with black truffle and gruyere
  • Classic side: Gratin Dauphinois — cream, gruyere, nutmeg
  • Vegetable side: Haricots Verts with garlic butter and almonds
  • Top dessert: Profiteroles with warm Valrhona chocolate
  • Classic dessert: Creme Brulee — vanilla, crackle sugar crust
  • French finish: Cheese Plate — four cheeses, honeycomb, quince
Cocktails & Bar

The Bar Program: Classic French Cocktails & Wine

La Grande Boucherie's cocktail program is rooted in the Parisian cafe and brasserie tradition. The French 75 (gin or cognac, lemon, Champagne), the Kir Royale (Champagne and cassis), and the Sidecar (cognac, Cointreau, lemon) are the pillars of the bar — supplemented by a strong Champagne and sparkling wine selection by the glass and an extensive French-focused wine list covering Burgundy, Bordeaux, the Loire, and the Rhone.

Parisian aperitif

French 75

Gin (or cognac variation), fresh lemon juice, simple syrup, topped with Champagne. The quintessential brasserie opening cocktail — ordered before dinner and consumed in the first five minutes of arrival.

Champagne aperitif

Kir Royale

Champagne and blackcurrant creme de cassis. Bright, elegant, and the simplest way to start a dinner at any Parisian brasserie. Available with house Champagne or by upgrade to a prestige cuvee.

Cognac classic

Sidecar

Cognac, Cointreau, and fresh lemon juice — the brandy sour of the French bar tradition. Sharp, citrus-forward, and ideal alongside the raw bar or a charcuterie board.

About La Grande Boucherie

A grand Parisian brasserie in the heart of Midtown Manhattan.

La Grande Boucherie draws its name and soul from the great brasseries of 19th-century Paris — the opulent dining halls that served as meeting points for artists, writers, politicians, and the bourgeoisie. The restaurant's dining room on West 53rd Street captures that spirit: soaring ceilings, dramatic period-inspired decor, an open rotisserie visible from the dining room, and a raw bar that anchors the room.

The kitchen is built around brasserie fundamentals executed at a high level: a raw bar with a daily seafood tower, classic Burgundy escargots, steak tartare, rotisserie chicken and lamb, steak frites with Bearnaise, Sole Meuniere, Bouillabaisse, and a dessert menu that honours the canon with Profiteroles, Creme Brulee, and Tarte Tatin. The bar leans into French classics — French 75, Kir Royale, Sidecar — alongside a Champagne-heavy wine program.

La Grande Boucherie is part of the Quality Branded hospitality group, which operates several other high-profile New York and national dining concepts.

Common questions

La Grande Boucherie — frequently asked questions

Quick answers to the questions people most commonly ask about La Grande Boucherie's menu, reservations, pricing, and the dining experience.

What kind of restaurant is La Grande Boucherie?

La Grande Boucherie is a grand French brasserie in Midtown Manhattan on West 53rd Street at 7th Avenue. It takes direct inspiration from the ornate Parisian brasseries of the Belle Epoque era — think soaring ceilings, dramatic decor, an extensive raw bar, rotisserie meats, and a menu that covers classic French preparations from escargots and steak tartare to steak frites and bouillabaisse. It is operated by the Quality Branded hospitality group.

Where is La Grande Boucherie located in NYC?

La Grande Boucherie is located at 145 West 53rd Street, New York, NY 10019 — in Midtown Manhattan between 6th and 7th Avenues, close to Carnegie Hall and the Museum of Modern Art (MoMA). It is accessible via the B/D/E subway lines at 7th Avenue or the N/Q/R/W at 57th Street.

Does La Grande Boucherie take reservations?

Yes. La Grande Boucherie accepts reservations, and given the restaurant's popularity for dinner service, booking in advance is strongly recommended — especially on weekends. Reservations can be made through the official website at lagrandeboucherie.com or via OpenTable. Walk-in bar seating is often available on a first-come basis.

What are the must-order dishes at La Grande Boucherie?

The most consistently praised dishes at La Grande Boucherie include the Grand Seafood Tower (the visual and culinary centrepiece of any visit), Steak Frites with Bearnaise sauce, the Poulet Roti off the rotisserie, Escargots de Bourgogne, Bone Marrow, and the classic French Onion Soup. For dessert, the Profiteroles with warm chocolate sauce are a crowd favourite.

Is La Grande Boucherie expensive?

La Grande Boucherie is a upscale fine-dining brasserie in the $$$ price range. It is not a budget restaurant — expect to spend in line with other high-end Midtown Manhattan brasseries. A typical per-person spend at dinner, including one or two courses, cocktails, and dessert, generally runs from roughly $100 to $200+ per person before tax and gratuity. The raw bar, seafood towers, and premium steak cuts will place an order at the higher end of this range. Confirm current pricing on the official menu at lagrandeboucherie.com before booking.

Does La Grande Boucherie have a dress code?

La Grande Boucherie does not publish a strict dress code, but given the grand, Parisian-inspired setting and the restaurant's positioning as a premium brasserie, smart casual to business casual attire is the norm. Overly casual dress (beachwear, athletic wear) would feel out of place. When in doubt, dressing for a nice night out in New York is the right call.

Does La Grande Boucherie serve brunch?

Yes, La Grande Boucherie serves brunch on weekends. The brunch menu draws from classic French brasserie brunch fare alongside the restaurant's signature dishes. Hours can vary; confirm the current brunch schedule on the official website or by calling the restaurant directly before visiting.

Are there vegetarian or seafood-focused options at La Grande Boucherie?

Yes. While La Grande Boucherie's menu is meat- and seafood-forward in the French brasserie tradition, there are strong vegetarian-friendly options including the Beet and Chevre Salad, Endive and Roquefort Salad, Soupe du Jour, Ratatouille, Gratin Dauphinois, Haricots Verts, and most desserts. The raw bar and seafood program — from oysters and crab claws to Sole Meuniere and Bouillabaisse — is one of the restaurant's greatest strengths. Those avoiding red meat will find the rotisserie poultry and seafood sections particularly well-stocked.

What is the private dining and events situation at La Grande Boucherie?

La Grande Boucherie accommodates private events, corporate dinners, and celebratory gatherings in its dramatic dining room. The restaurant can arrange private or semi-private sections for larger parties. For event inquiries, contact the restaurant directly through the official website at lagrandeboucherie.com or by phone. The visual impact of the dining room — high ceilings, dramatic lighting, Belle Epoque details — makes it a popular choice for milestone celebrations in Midtown Manhattan.
