"Following three years of exponential growth — including hosting over 10,000 guests a week in NYC and a recent expansion to Chicago — founder Emil Stefkov’s Boucherie brand brought its sixth and most jaw-dropping edition yet to downtown D.C. in April. Blending the sophisticated ambiance of an indulgent steakhouse with a refined Parisian brasserie/raw bar, La Grande Boucherie infuses the historic Bank Building with an elaborate Belle Epoque-era interior filled with mahogany wood, glass partitions, and a curved metal bar top imported from Paris. Built in the 1920s, the former home to three national banks one block from the White House is included in the National Register of Historic Places." - Tierney Plumb
