    We had not been here since our last visit NYC a couple of years ago. Very happy to have made it back. Quaint small bistro in SoHo. Appetizer we had the Pear Salad and the Mussels with Garlic and White Wine broth. Both were superb. The entrees we both had the same. Cod served over lentils and a saffron sauce. The fish was perfectly cooked, flaky and moist. Dessert we shared the Apple Tartine. The flavor was excellent, but I think it was warmed on a microwave so the texture was too mushy. Drank a very nice bc Pouilly-Fuisse,

    Had a wonderful experience at Boucherie. We were seated immediately at a wonderful table with a view of the decorations and the restaurant. The wait staff was very helpful and friendly. The food we ordered was amazing and the prices not astronomical. For the quality of the food and the overall experience it was appropriately priced.

    Kind of noisy but like a busy/cool to be there type of vibe. Don’t sleep on the buffalo chicken dumplings-pricey but well worth it. The cavatelli were rich, bursting with flavor from the sausage and mushrooms. Was full but indulged in the sticky toffee pudding-rich and buttery. Expensive and the portions looks small, but the food is rich and quality is outstanding. Great place to go for a special dinner.
