Restaurants near Monrovia

I recently dined at La Grande Boucherie, and I couldn’t be happier with my experience! As someone with celiac disease, dining out can often be stressful, but the team at La Grande Boucherie went above and beyond to ensure my safety and comfort. Before my visit, I reached out to let them know about my dietary restrictions, and their response was incredibly reassuring. They informed me that their head chef and kitchen team were fully aware of my needs and took meticulous care to prevent cross-contamination. While their fryer isn’t gluten-free (so fries were off the menu for me), they made excellent alternative recommendations and ensured that everything I ordered was completely safe. The food was great! The salads were fresh and vibrant, and the steak and eggs were absolutely delicious—cooked to perfection. What made the experience even better was the effort the chef took to make all the appetizers gluten-free, so I could safely share them with my friends. The service was impeccable, and I left feeling both satisfied and safe, which is rare for someone with celiac disease. La Grande Boucherie has set a high standard for gluten-free dining, and I can’t recommend it enough. I’m already looking forward to my next visit!

Wow wow wow, everything was delicious and so flavorful. The service was great, the staff were so friendly and knowledgeable about every component in each dish. I could tell they were excited about each dish they served. The drink pairings were excellent. My favorite bite was the scallop and fried oyster ssam and the soondubu. The pork belly was heavenly and of course the short rib was perfect with the radish kimchi. The tuna bibimbap was genius. I’ll definitely be back.

I’d suggest you make a reservation as it was a full house at 2pm on a Thursday. We were greeted promptly by our server and she checked on us regularly. The food came out timely and it was delicious. We each had alcoholic beverages, salads, an entree, cappuccinos and dessert. The bill was about $200 and I felt that was a fair price and worth it.

Annual New Year’s Day tradition to dine here and it doesn’t disappoint!! Great ambiance and fantastic food. They are also extremely careful regarding diners with food allergies. Much appreciated!

Breakfast with Santa event was well received by the children and adults in our group. The food was good, the crafts for the children were outstanding and the Christmas decorations were beautiful!
