La Grande Boucherie

The story

Crafted with passion, served with love

A Parisian Brasserie at the Heart of Washington

One block from the White House, on the high-profile corner of 14th and G Street NW, La Grande Boucherie occupies one of the most prominent addresses in Washington, D.C. The setting alone signals intention: this is French cuisine delivered with scale, confidence, and a genuine sense of occasion.

Art Nouveau in the Capital

The room is built in the ornamental Art Nouveau style, drawing on the optimism of turn-of-the-century Paris. Mahogany wood and glass partitions divide what the restaurant itself calls a "gargantuan space" into something that still feels intimate — thanks to gilded accents and uniquely curved arches that reference the movement's Parisian origins. The centerpiece is a massive curved bar with a metal top imported directly from Paris, a signature element carried across the Boucherie group's locations.

The Menu: Classic, Modern, and Built for Sharing

The kitchen works across both classic and modern French territory, with a particular focus on the meat program, a raw bar, and extravagant large-format cuts designed for sharing and celebration. Lunch runs through the week, weekend brunch extends the offer, and the outdoor seating makes the corner location an asset in warmer months. Private parties are well accommodated in a space this size.

Recognized for Its Wine Program

Wine Spectator granted La Grande Boucherie D.C. its Award of Excellence for 2025 — a recognition that reflects the care put into pairing a serious French list with a menu rooted in the brasserie tradition. For a room this lively, the wine program holds its own.
