Vegetarians beware - this very-French restaurant is utterly committed to meat in all shapes and sizes, from the pastures to the poultry yard. For meat fans, the decision is not as simple as just picking the biggest slab of protein on the menu. In the beef section alone, options include tender loin, organic tender loin, sirloin, t-bone, brochette, eye of shortloin, Welsh black beef scotch fillet or wagyu sirloin. Other choices range from duck to lamb to rabbit to pigeon to pork. Hot on the heels of these dishes is some salad and legume relief. There's a green salad, a goat's cheese salad, a frisee salad and more than 15 legume dishes as well. Oysters and tapas appear briefly on the menu too (just in case your iron levels don't need any boosting). The ambience of Boucheries is very elegant and, bien sur, very French. Glistening chandeliers adorn the pale ceilings. Tiny tables rim the restaurant's perimeter. Waiters dressed in that old Parisian black-and-white serve with smiles and finesse. And chefs - or butchers - can be seen through the large window of the kitchen. A haven for meat lovers, a delight for Francophiles and a future darling of the South Yarra culinary scene, Boucheries is definitely a place to meat and greet.
