The story
Perched on the 71st floor of the InterContinental Los Angeles Downtown, La Boucherie occupies a vantage point that few restaurants in the city can match. The panoramic views stretch across the downtown skyline in every direction, setting the stage for a steakhouse experience that pairs serious cooking with an atmosphere that feels genuinely special without trying too hard.
The kitchen focuses on elevated steak and seafood, with dry-aged wagyu among the signatures that draw guests back. Whether you're sitting down to breakfast with the city spread below you or settling in for an unhurried dinner, the menu is built around the kind of ingredients and preparation that reward attention.
What earned La Boucherie its Wine Spectator Best of Award of Excellence is the list itself — more than 1,200 hand-selected wines, a breadth that puts it firmly in the company of serious wine destinations in Los Angeles. For guests who care about what's in the glass as much as what's on the plate, this steakhouse delivers on both counts.
La Boucherie runs from breakfast through dinner, with bespoke cocktails rounding out an offering that covers the full arc of a day. The setting — high above Wilshire Boulevard, with downtown Los Angeles laid out below — makes even a weekday lunch feel like an occasion.
