    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.

    Had a great time in L'abeille, staff was energetic and very friendly. We had Chef's tasting menu and every dish on that was exceptional. They also accommodated our dietary restriction. Same with all the cocktails we had, all of them very well balanced, novel and tasty.

    We came expecting great food, but we didn’t anticipate how much fun we’d have! From the lively vibe and great music to the energetic and friendly crowd, the atmosphere was a ten out of ten. The space was warm and inviting, buzzing with excitement yet relaxed enough to enjoy great conversation. We'll definitely be back for next month's pop-up!
