Bouchee - 159 Newbury Street - Boston
Vibe. Bouchee is a French brasserie located on Newbury Street in Boston’s Back Bay. If you’re in the mood for a brewski and some steak frites Bouchee, while a little under the radar, is the place for you. The atmosphere in the dining room is a touch on the stuffy side, but the bar area, which is often not too crowded is the perfect place to pull up a stool, watch a little sports and have some nice grub.
Grub. The menu is quite substantial and features whole roasted chicken, tenderloin of beef stroganoff (Tuesday special), wiener schnitzel, crispy confit duck, mac and cheese and burgers. The beer selection is decent and they have a juicer and fresh grapefruit juice, which makes for a nice stiff Greyhound and a variety of other assorted juice booze drinks.
Cash. Bouchee is one the Back Bay Restaurants Group (Abe and Louie’s, Atlantic Fish, Joes, Charley’s, Papa Razzi, Coach Grill) and the prices fall somewhere between Charley’s and Abe and Louie’s making this spot a good option for good food at decent prices.
Score. Bouchee is highly recommended by The Community, even if you have to walk down Newbury Street to get there, and ranks high on the Decency Scale for fresh drinks, good bar eating scene and their steak frites, raking up an nearly perfect DECEN.
