Royal Boucherie

Such an awesome place in Philadelphia. Food was great, also service. Nice friendly atmosphere. Would go back again. It's on the list!

Cozy and nice decor, great and attentive service, nice romantic atmosphere. Sad to say the food was hit or miss. The seafood platter was fairly good and plentiful and the butternut squash soup was tasty. However, the duck pate was inedible as was the steak tartar even after we sent it back and asked for another without all the salt. It was still full of vinegar from the capers, you couldn't taste the meat at all. I'm sure there was a time where someone in the kitchen tasted and really cared about each dish but for today it seems like the food quality is just being called in.

More like a 3.5 because it seemed like half of what I tried was either *really * good or a bit of a miss. Starting with the really good, 2 of the types of oysters were excellent while the other type wasn't very memorable (can't remember the names). The cheese board was very good with some creative and tasty items included. I ordered the Boucherie Burger and while I've enjoyed foie gras on other occasions, this burger wasn't my favorite and I'd blame it on the foie gras. The escargot was also a little underwhelming.There are definitely some gems on the menu and I would definitely go back to figure out what all they are!

While touring Philly, my friend and I stopped in and decided to split a few items from the menu. Everything was absolutely delicious but the star of the show was the goat cheese and tomato tart! Absolutely delicious. My mouth is watering in remembrance. This is a great spot off the beaten path for a date or a quick dinner with friends. The cocktail and wine lists were extensive but I did not indulge.

I loved having dinner here. There is so much charm and character in this bar - it's like stepping back in time. Different relics and photos that bring you through the history of Old City...it's a perfect place setting for a rich and hearty meal. Dim lighting, dark wood booths, a bar that runs half the restaurant, it's the whole nine. Not to mention, they have a gorgeous green-house setting upstairs with additional seating. Really enjoyed our server - he was helpful with recommendations and portioning. Striked good conversation with us, and was timely throughout the dinner. One thing that they seem to have a pretty well-renowned reputation for is their burger. The style and toppings of the burger changes every so often, but the execution is consistent. Right now, it is topped with foie gras, brie, and an onion confiture. I personally love burgers like this, where the foie gras adds that buttery/rich finish and the brie/onion add a sharp bite along with it. It wasn't a messy burger either, which is always appreciated. We also had their parisian gnocchi, which was probably one of the best gnocchi dishes we've had in awhile. The sage brown butter and pistachios complimented each other, but nothing in the mix was overpowering in flavor. Nutty and creamy bites, and the gnocchi was finished a bit more firm and crunchy. Very, very good! They offer a fantastic variety of oysters, and you have to try either their charcuterie board or cheese plate. While we enjoyed our meals, one downside to the menu was the lack of vegetarian entrees or apps. Beyond the pasta and a couple of small plates (onion soup or tomato & goat cheese tart) there really wasn't anything else to choose from. Their drink menu was extensive, and I recognize this is a very biased opinion only having tried one drink, but their dirty martini was just "ok." All that said, this spot is certainly a staple in the city and represents what a true weekend meal/experience should look like in Old City. Would definitely go back.

Classic restaurant with the old Philly vibe. We came here for brunch and were pleasantly surprised with good food and great service. We shared a Crème Brûlée French Toast for the table, very good not too sweet. My wife got the Warm Brie & fruit, a great light meal. And I got the French Benedict, which was fabulous! The servers were on point and very helpful.

The closest thing to being back in Paris outside of Paris. Cliche to say, but I was taken back to France but in Philly. The food is to the core all French. The staff, well let's just say you'll leave being best friends with them. Service is fast and so so friendly. So, yes visit this spot ASAP

The food, the service and the ambiance were just right for a quiet Sunday evening. Both the escargots and the gimlets were perfect.

Nice brunch atmosphere, but disappointing and overpriced for what you get. $16 for Salad Lyonnaise--a handful of greens, sprinkling of lardons, one poached egg--is a bit steep, especially when the salad is nothing speciai. The house burger (at $18) has so many gimmicks it almost ceases to be a burger--sauteed onions, brie, dijon, and, purportedly, some fois gras (undetected). The fries were limp, though well-seasoned. Won't be rushing back anytime soon.

The playlist, especially after 10 o'clock, $&%#^ rocks! Some people only want French music; those people are morons!
