In Short – The Back Bay Restaurant Group (Abe & Louie's, Papa Razzi) has opened its first bistro in a a high-profile Newbury St. locale, complete with a sunny, sunken patio. The twin-level interior is warm and romantic, yet exudes a hip, low-key vibe. A handsome bar is perfect for drinks or a quick lunch while the main dining area suits both couples and large groups. Strong heat lamps ensure that the patio stays open beyond the summer months. – – The Food – Bouchee's ample menu of classic French bistro fare satisfies a full range of appetites.

Good for special occasions
by jpkang
My cousin recommended this place for a celebratory dinner with my doctoral advisor and the prix fixe menu the evening I went was very tasty: I chose the french onion soup, steak with mashed potatoes and asparagus, and chocolate mousse for $35. A half bottle of wine was $25 and complemented the meal nicely; the ambiance was cozy but got progressively noisier as the Friday evening crowds came in from the November cold.
- Pros: the prix fixe menu
- Cons: still a little pricey

poor baryender service
by jjo23
The bartender scratched his head often and not once did he wash his hands. He also put his hand in his mouth, again not washing. He was indifferent to my waiting for him to take my drink order. I left and ate elsewhere.
- Pros: good location
- Cons: lousy bartender

Best Bleu Cheeseburger and Pate!
by Jenny999
Bouchee is my favorite bistro in or around Boston. I recommend going there for lunch instead of dinner, especially during the spring/summer, because the patio outside is great for lunch. Also the lunch menu has a lot of the same items as the dinner menu but less expensive. We paid just over $100 with tip for three people with appetizers, main courses and dessert for lunch Their foie gras and chicken liver pate is better than any I've had in France, and their bleu cheeseburger is TO DIE FOR!!! The only problem I have had with Bouchee is with my recent visit, where the service was not too great. Our server was nice, but some of the other servers got annoyed quickly when we asked them for drink refills. At a restaurant of that caliber I would expect every server, not just your own, to be very gracious to you, which they were not this time.
- Pros: Great food, good patio dining
- Cons: mixed service
