My mother and I came here for lunch, and from start to finish, our experience was really great. We had a reservation and arrived a little early, but the staff was accommodating and seated us right away. The entire team was friendly, and our server, Chic, was outstanding--his recommendations were spot on, and he was more than happy to answer all our questions.
The restaurant itself is stunning, with a beautiful ambiance that mixes the chic from France with the beach vibe from Miami. We sat on the outdoor patio, which was gorgeous and decorated with plants and flowers, creating a cozy yet elegant Miami vibe.
We started with drinks. My mom had the Tulum beer, and I had the La Vie en Rose cocktail (Chopin, Lillet Blanc, Lychee,
Cranberry Purée, Brut Sparkling), which was absolutely delicious and refreshing. Along with complimentary bread and butter, we ordered the prime steak tartare (Beef tenderloin, capers, cornichons,
shallots, quail egg, crostini ) and foie gras torchon (Onion marmalade, cherry,
toasted baguette). Both were well-seasoned, rich in flavor, and perfect for the warm Miami Beach weather. The portions were also generous and great for sharing.
For our entrées, I had the prime steak frites(10 oz Prime grass-fed NY strip steak,
herb butter, pommes frites), and my mom chose the côtelettes d'agneau (Roasted lamb rack, potato gratin, garlic rapini,
tomato/rosemary jus). Both dishes were phenomenal! The meats were cooked to perfection. Tender, juicy, and flavorful. The presentation was beautiful, and the portions were more than satisfying. I especially loved the gratin potatoes from my mom's dish.
Even though we were already quite full, we couldn't resist trying dessert. I had the chocolate and framboise tart (Valrhona 62% dark chocolate ganache,
raspberry gel, fresh raspberries), while my mom chose the tarte au citron (Vanilla crust, lemon curd,
lemon crème légère, fresh lemon segments). Both were excellent, although I was too full to try hers, she loved it. Not overly sweet, beautifully plated, and the perfect way to end our meal.
Overall, we had an amazing experience. The food, service, and ambiance were all top-notch. I highly recommend La Grande Boucherie and will definitely be coming back!
