    three spoons of food on a table
    Mel A.

    You know you are going to have a meal worth writing about the moment you take your first bite. That is exactly how I feel about my dining experience at Boucherie. First, I was so happy to have been able to snag a table on a Saturday night pre-mother's day. The restaurant is in what might have been a home in the past. Very unassuming but once you're there, you will immediately know what the fuss is all about. I wanted a place a little farther from the busy scene so I chose Boucherie for that reason. We arrived, informed the host of our reservations and we were seated immediately on a corner table. The place was fairly quiet, had a full bar, and attentive wait staff. Our dining experience began with some smoked tuna ragoons with Louisiana strawberry dipping sauce. The smoked tuna was a little bit on the salty side but otherwise, the flavors between the sauce and the ragoons worked. For my main dish, I ordered the scallops which were divine! Very flavorful, prepared perfectly and the sauce was magnificent. I could have probably polished off another serving of it (on a different night, of course!). My meal was lovely and exquisite. My dining companion enjoyed some cocktails while I sipped on some wines for the evening. Overall, I had a wonderful and unforgettable dining experience.

    Blackened Shrimp & Grit Cake

    We visited Boucherie on a Saturday and then returned the following Friday. We had reservations for 5:00 both times, which is during the happy hour. We had the Brussels sprouts and fries for the happy hour snacks and I had an Old Fashioned and Amaretto Sour for happy hour sips. The happy hour cocktail selections seem to change daily. The blackened shrimp and grit cake was nice! The shrimp were a good size and the flavor was good too! On our Saturday visit, I had the wagyu brisket with fries, and it was tasty. I think the sauce was kind of overpowering though. On the following Friday, I had the duck breast, and IT WAS AMAZING!!!! Easily a favorite! We had the bread pudding for dessert and I had the espresso martini (neither pictured, but they were very nice!)

    Showed up on a Friday night at 5pm for happy hour. Enjoyed $3 draft & wife had HH Pinot Noir. Sat out on their cover patio which was cozy and well ventilated. Josie took our order and was excellent. Even though she had too many tables, she still took her time and gave everyone lots of attention. We decided to try the happy hour burger, salad, boudin balls, and fries. They were all awesome and priced well for HH. They have a Satsuma infused vinegar that was delicious on the fries. For dessert we got the Chocolate Ganache Terrine. It was still frozen in the center but excellent. And even better at home after it fully warmed up ;-) We will definitely be back and will bring friends.

    Work flew me to NOLA the day after Fat Tuesday. I wasn't here on vacation so did my best to steer clear of the FQ. I enjoyed venturing out west past Tulane by car, including to this spot which was hands-down my #1 favorite meal of this trip. Reservations are easy on Resy and you'll get to pick between indoor and outdoor seating. A small converted cottage in a residential neighborhood, Boucherie is seemingly tailor-made for the pandemic with a charming, breezy, covered outdoor patio where probably 3/4 of the tables are located. The food was incredible. A half rack of smoked pork ribs from Niman Ranch gets served with onion rings and a delicious french onion dip. A thick filet of snapper is pan-fried to perfection, topped with a sharp agrodolce, and served atop grilled, herbed cauliflower steaks. We were also fortunate to get to try the evening's special appetizer of three onion beignets (fluffy hush puppies style) served alongside a sauce full of crayfish. If you see this on the menu, do not miss your chance. I'm still craving this dish. Service is lovely. The host and runners were efficient and the server was smart and incredibly intuitive. The creative drink menu and a yummy donut bread pudding rounded out our final meal in NOLA. Wish I lived closer or that we ate here earlier in the trip so that I could make a repeat visit!

    Y'all this restaurant was such a cute, intimate, and tasty dining experience. The restaurant is located in a cozy shotgun home on Jeanette Street. We sat on the porch and it was perfect (if you know me, you know I love a good patio or porch) For our meal, we decided to do the Chef's Tasting Menu. Each course was paired with wine and it was soooo great! My favorite dish would have to be the Black Farms Wagyu Hanger Steak & they had beet mashed potatoes... I know, you're like beets, yuck! BUTTTT NOOOO!!! It was perfect. The flavors blended gracefully, you already know the steak was good, and that wine...Delicioso 2019 Tempranillo(Spain) set it all the way offff!!!! Everything was delicious, aside from the Watermelon Gazpacho (sue me, I don't like watermelon lol) but the wine was good for that course. Big shoutout to everyone at Boucherie! Y'all made #nolarestaurantweek one to remember. Chef's Tasting Menu (First course)Boudin Balls - Domaine Petroni Rose 2018 "France" (Second course) Local Greens Salad - Nascetta, Moscato Blanco "Italy" Third course) Watermelon Gazpacho - Cleck 2019 "Italy" (Fourth course) Black Farms Wagyu Hanger Steak - Delicioso 2019 Tempranillo "Spain" (Fifth course) Krispy Kreme Bread pudding

    Ohhh wow! This was an amazing dinner. Definitely the best pork chop I've ever had. The flavor and sear was incredible--thicker than I though could be possible... the sweet potato was unbelievably tasty too! The cheese plate was a nice appetizer with a good selection. Loved the seasonal ingredients in the salads too. My dad was raving about the duck gumbo--the roux was remarkable for sure. I'd plan to be there for a while, it's a long meal. But enjoy the company and warm ambiance. Make a reservation ahead of time!

    I went to Boucherie with some a small party of 4 on a Saturday afternoon. I made a reservation and so thankful I did, the restaurant is very small on the inside with not a lot of tables but it was very cozy. The alternative option was to sit outside in the patio, which was very nice, but it was way too hot. I was seated immediately and brought water and the Apple pie starter and it was delicious!! A great first bite before the main course meal. My party ordered from the 45$ coolinary menu, shrimp and grit cake the the brisket and the Krispy Kreme bread pudding to finish. I also had the boudin balls (amazing!!) burger and Parmesan fries (on happy hour). The food was amazing!! Very well seasoned and definitely hit the spot! I also had the matcha daiquiri (in addition the the guava daiquiri-very good!) and it was amazing, very refreshing and strong! My type of drink! Overall, the wait staff were very friendly and knowledgeable about the menu and gave great recommendations, our water glasses were always full and everyone was so sweet, in addition to the food and ambiance being perfect! I will definitely be back to enjoy happy hour again!

    Managed to snag a reservation here on New Years Eve. Wasn't sure what to expect as I hadn't read up on this restaurant. I don't know that anything I could have read would have prepared us for what we were about to experience! Our ride dropped us off and I thought we were lost. The restaurant is very unassuming from the front. The name of the restaurant is painted on a board along the side of the stairway. Otherwise, it looks like any other house. We got there a little early, so we walked around a bit, then made our way over. They opened at 5pm and our resv was for 5:15. Great time to get there! Our server, Benjamin, brought our menus and let us know that it was a fixed, 9 course menu for the evening. Exciting! We were treated to a glass of champagne to start. We ordered a bottle of wine and prepared for the food to begin. I'm not going to go into every course. I will just say that the food was absolutely phenomenal!!! The meal was Asian themed and seafood prominent. Chef Nathaniel Zimet and the staff did an incredible job with the planning and preparation of the meal. If the regular menu is half as good as this was, you're in for a treat. Our top two courses were the Wagyu tartare and the lobster miso soup. We were having difficulty narrowing it down to two! As for the service... Benjamin was perfect! Funny, knowledgeable, and so quick to get us what we needed. The meal itself took a long time, by American standards... 3 1/2 hours from sit down to finish. Time flew! That is NOT typical timing for here, so don't think you will be here forever. Tonight was a special menu and special circumstances. I just hope that if anyone else posts about tonight, they keep that in mind. If you are in the New Orleans area, this is a place you must try. I wouldn't bring children here. This IS a spot for a special date or occasion. I wish there were more places like this around. 5stars just isn't enough.

    My son and I chose to eat here this week for Restaurant week because of the advertised Krispy Kreme bread pudding. Whatever reason you choose to go, it will be well worth it. We were greeted at the door by two very friendly staff members who created an on-the-spot song from our last name. What's not to love about a spontaneous song and dance? There are several options for seating, either inside or out. Regardless of where you choose to sit, there will be fantastic service all around. There are two different prix fixe options to choose from in addition to their regular menu. There is a 5 course or a 3 course option. You can add wine for an additional cost. My son chose the 3 course and I chose the other one. The menus were different, allowing us to sample a larger variety. We also chose the duck confit appetizer as well. I have zero complaints about anything we tried. I wasn't sure I would enjoy the watermelon gazpacho but I have been converted. Attached are the menus for this week. I highly recommend you review them, choose your reason to go and book a table.

    This place is top notch! Perfect for everything from parties, dates, to solo dining! The food and drinks are both refreshing and classic at the same time! Everyone on staff is very welcoming and knowledgeable! Couldn't recommend this place enough. Good vibes all around!

    Amuse Bouche (amazing!)
    Jessica M.

    Wow! The food is so good it had my non chatty husband singing like a canary. Romantic, quaint dining area inside, amazing slowly service so come to enjoy conversation in between not a rush to eat spot. Loved that. We toured the small plates to get the most out of our visit and we're not disappointed at this hidden gem! Duck Confit. I've eaten alot of confit in my life and career (former Chef) and this was by far the crispiest and most tender! Mussels. So good we had it TWICE in one sitting! Great portion for the price!! Ceviche. Husband was being adventurous he said it was good but he was unsure about the "stuff" was fennel but he liked it. Shrimp and Grit Cake. Had hubby ranting and raving!! Shrimp were large, plump and perfectly cooked! Collards. Highly recommend dumping them in to the mussel broth it's tangy and has some bacon fattiness in there for a perfect savory flavor. Grilled Romaine Cesar. Was hesitant because it's grilled but WOW. My taste buds danced! Crab Beignet. More like a hush puppy but you could def taste a little sweetness and yummy crab flavor!! Cocktails/Mocktails: Def not on the sweet side at all. So if you like a balanced sweet/tangy def let them know more on the sweet side. Krispy Kreme Bread Pudding: Hubby Loved It but I could have gone for a bit of a glaze on top! Chocolate Ganache. To. Die. for. I've had many desserts at 3 star Michelin and their ganache nails it!! Over all we had an amazing romantic dinner to celebrate the staff was friendly but not overly chatty, informative and hospitable! Great value for the food for sure! Including 3 cocktails and all food above (tax included) $170 plus tip

    Uptown dining at Boucherie was a night I won't forget. This is boutique, upscale, dining set in understated elegance that allows the delicacies to take center stage. My foodie family of three were on vacation to enjoy our winter breaks from school and ring in the new year with a unique culinary adventure. Each course had an optional Saki pairing to go with this Asian infused oceanic 9 course Experience. We enjoyed a complimentary glass of champagne and a beautiful bottle of wine. We even tried a Sazorac, just so we could say we did. I appreciated the leisurely pace of this 3 hour or so evening. As this is not the norm it was so apropos for the evening. https://www.neworleans.com/drink/cocktails/sazerac/ This an intimate dining experience inside with a few tables outside as weather allows, full bar, attentive servers, exceptional attention to detail, restroom small yet super clean and stocked, a single user. Highly recommend this restaurant and will come again next time we are in town. Perfect location for a date night or special occasion. I would definitely get a sitter if you have littles. As if the menu isn't enough to tempt you, Chef Nathaniel Zimet is a local that works tirelessly to support his community and has been working with local charter and public schools to increase the focus on nutrition for the school meal programs. This is amazing! We were lucky to have him visit our table and I encourage you to put this local gem on your must feast foodie list.

The courtyard's intimate layout even brought a bit of extra magic to our evening. We sat near another wonderful couple (and their adorable daughter) and became fast friends, sharing laughs and conversation throughout the night. What truly anchored the experience, though, was the incredible service. The staff was remarkably personable, helpful, and welcoming. The dinner itself was excellent from start to finish, showcasing immense culinary skill across every dish. We started with the delicious brussels sprouts and a uniquely seasoned spring/summer gumbo that was unlike any version we've had before (oh, what I would give for the recipe). As for the entrées, the shrimp and grits were phenomenal, and the blackened catfish sandwich with a fresh salad was executed flawlessly...and the bread pudding was fantastic, too! It is rare to find an experience where top-tier hospitality, a breathtaking environment, and great food come together so (seemingly) effortlessly. Café Amélie is an absolute must-visit!

The salmon was crispy on the outside with a nice sauce over it. We thought we'd have time to get dessert so we ordered a couple but that too took a very long time. We finally waved down our server to cancel and get the check since we had to be somewhere and he apologized and said their WiFi was going in and out so it could be that it was registering on the kitchen side.

    Finally! On our last day in NO we tried WJ and wow! This is…read morewhat we thought breakfast in New Orleans would be! Exceeded our expectations! Great coffee bar! Definitely treat yourself and try WJ. Great service too!

    Rude service from start to finish. We added ourselves to the waitlist because they had a…read morereservation available, yet watched several families get seated ahead of us while we continued waiting. We were a party of 3 adults and 2 children (one being only 2 years old), and because of that they changed our table type from a 4-top to a 5-top and made us wait an additional 30 minutes. Meanwhile, multiple tables became available that easily could have accommodated us, but the hostess was determined to keep telling us we had to wait. To make matters worse, there was open bench seating in the back where customers ordering to-go could sit. I offered to order food to-go so we could at least sit down and get started while waiting, and she told me if I did that they would remove our name from the waitlist because "you have to pick one or the other." No willingness to problem solve whatsoever. She repeatedly said she was "sorry," but her actions showed the opposite. I was simply trying to work together to find some reasonable solution instead of continuing to watch everyone else get seated while our family, including small children, kept waiting. Absolutely horrible customer service experience.

    Quaint little Cafe in the heart of the city. Every time I…read morecome to New Orleans, this restaurant is top on my list. Especially for breakfast. The food is always fresh and tastes amazing. The service is good as well. My only suggestion is that they pay attention to cleaning glass door and cabinet in wall.

    This place definitely had more of a sports bar vibe than I expected it to, but it wasn't loud or…read morechaotic. I was looking forward to trying this place, but I wasn't obsessed with the food. My favorite thing we got was definitely the veggie red beans and rice. It was very balanced and cooked well. I was very excited to try their shrimp and grits, but it wasn't that great. The grits were quite grainy and didn't taste cheesy as described. They weren't creamy at all and really tasted like plain barely salted grits that could have been cooked a bit longer. The shrimp was flavorful and the sear on the outside was nice, but they were quite overcooked and tough. There was a much higher ratio of grits to shrimp and gravy than you would want, especially given the grits were not that good. However, my husband absolutely loved the chicken pasta and said it was one of the best he has ever had. They definitely can make good food but I would skip the shrimp and grits. The lemonade I ordered was also incredibly watery. The service was efficient and good overall, but very impersonal and bare minimum. Definitely efficiency prioritized over true dinner service. Not bad but not what I expected.
