La Grande Boucherie Chicago — River North food that sets the standard. The kind of room you save for someone special. The drinks match the food in quality. Nikhil D'Mello: "For our main courses, the roasted chicken was juicy, flavorful"

“The happy hour bites were very enjoyable—excellent cheeses, a well-prepared pâté, and fresh oysters that stood out”
Average food. Everything tasted like out of a microwave. Service was horrible. We had to call the server multiple times.
I am re-writing my previous 2-star review after our second visit here. The verdict is the same.

Emily took such great care of us and made the night feel easy and fun. I ordered the steak and the escargot, and they were both incredible. I’d happily come back and ask for her again.

We had such an amazing night ✨ While we were waiting for our table, we sat at the bar - and oh my goodness, Marco makes the best espresso martinis. Smooth, perfectly balanced, and the ideal way to kick off the night, they made the wait feel effortless and fun! Once we were seated, the warmth continued!! Daria, our dinner host, guided us through the menu so thoughtfully that we instantly fell in love with her recommendations 💗 The Mousse de Foie Gras truly melts in your mouth from the very first bite - such a beautiful perfection. The Lyonnaise Salad was a lovely complement, leading up to our main dish, the BROILED BRANZINO, which was absolutely amazing. Light, flavorful, and paired with roasted vegetables that were pure heaven. A cozy and warm night with great food, amazing drinks, and even better hospitality! Thank you, Daria and Marco! We cannot wait to be back 💛

⸻ Our favorite place to enjoy a great French dinner, with an excellent location and an amazing happy hour after work! The place can be very elegant, but the bar makes you feel like you’re in a true French bar. Excellent drinks made by talented bartenders and top-notch service! Special thanks to Marco Antonio for his great attention and amazing cocktails. It’s safe to say you’ve gained a loyal customer! P.S. Order the mussels and a good Boucherie French Martini 🍸

“Had an amazing time with my brother here at La Boucherie.”
Had an amazing time with my brother here at La Boucherie! Dimitri was so attentive and great at recommending me a wonderful mezcal for my stay. I have to mention Adrian’s organization and the way he carries himself stood out heavily. We got the happy hour boucherie burger and of course the French onion soup. My friend soon joined us and I got to try the cheesecake with the rich caramel drizzle. Wonderful way to start my evening!

I came here on a whim when I was in Chicago for work and la grande boulangerie did not disappoint in the slightest. Dimitri is an incredible bartender who is super knowledgeable and attentive. The escargot is well worth it…super herby and rich.

My friend and I came here for the New Year’s Eve experience and had an amazing time, largely thanks to our bartender & server, Dimitriy. He was incredibly attentive throughout the evening, gave us fantastic drink recommendations, and even took the time to teach us how to properly enjoy oysters since it was basically our first time trying them. The food was excellent, the gnocchi practically melted in our mouths, and you truly can’t go wrong with the pomme frites. The champagne they provided for the night was also amazing, and we loved that they even gave out party favors to help everyone ring in the new year, such a fun and thoughtful touch! We ended up staying for about four hours because we were having such a great time that it flew by. The atmosphere was beautiful, especially with the holiday décor, and made the night feel extra special. I definitely need to come here more often. Thank you again to Dimitriy for helping us start the new year off right. Can’t wait to come back!
