Boucherie West Village

A two-floor French bistro where dry-aged cuts and a standout onion soup meet an absinthe-heavy bar. The beef tartare gets praise for being well seasoned and fresh, and the French onion soup arrives with perfectly browned cheese on top. Service earns compliments for warmth, with one visitor singling out a server's exceptional care, though service can be slow at times. The noise level stays moderate, and the music is good.
