Dining at La Grande Boucherie was an unforgettable experience. I visited with friends, and everything from the ambiance to the service was exceptional. We started with the tartare and octopus, both beautifully presented and bursting with flavor. For the main course, I had the steak, which was perfectly cooked and absolutely delicious. To finish, we shared a variety of desserts, each one exquisite and a perfect ending to the meal. Our server, Nikola, was outstanding—attentive, friendly, and made us feel truly welcome. A remarkable restaurant I can’t wait to return to!
