Great drinks. Great seafood. Came in without a reservation (I don't recommend) and they squeezed us in. If you're hungry get 3-4 courses. Cozy atmosphere

Great spot for a girls night! We went during Noel and loved their cocktails! The oysters and apps were all amazing as well

We're so glad we stopped in! Beaucoup had awesome cocktails, great oysters, and fun mains in a really intimate space. We got one of the "reserve cocktails" and one of the ones at the top of the menu. The "welcome home" was a tropical but not overpowering slice of paradise, while the reserve cocktail "who's who" was a great blend of michters, cynar, and montenegro that tasted like a more nuanced boulevardier. Super tasty! We stopped in for a lighter dinner, and got a selection of the daily oysters (with hot sauce, mignonette, and a horseradish/cocktail sauce combo... loved the choices!), the kale Caesar, and split the burger. All was really great! The Caesar had a great nuttiness and the burger was well done. The fries were also super tasty and had great flavor: a can't miss! We did have room for dessert, and I'm glad we did! The apple cake was super flavorful and the apples in it were still super firm and had great texture. We're so glad we made it!

Food: Fresh creative and flavors are spot on. Service: Eli/Donnie and his entire bar / kitchen crew are professional and very hospitable. FOH manager is attentive and I always feel welcome. Ambiance: Comfortable, relaxed, clean, and good energy.

Went for a solo date adventure. I sat at the bar and had great service. The bartender was attentive and super polite. I had two drinks while I was there - both very complex in terms of flavor. The wine menu really caught my eye but I'll save that for the next visit. Keep in mind, the menu changes! I ended up getting roasted oysters and corn ribs. Both were amazing. The oysters had shredded fried leeks which and butter. So good! Wouldn't back and get a whole dozen. The corn ribs were also super tasty. I have some leftover that I cannot wait to devour. I will for sure be back!

Cozy neighborhood place with a great bon vibrant vibe right in the Fan. It's first come, first served, but if you need to wait for a table or a spot at the bar, they'll happily get you a cocktail or glass of wine while you wait. I think it's great that Beaucoup does not actually offer a lot, but their focus on what they offer shines through. The oyster board had 4 or 5 varieties - all local which I love (flying oysters across the continent is unnecessary, especially since they don't get to use the mileage points they earn before being eaten). We split a half dozen and loved them all. Frites were done very well and the garlic aioli tasted like the tiny kitchen made it just for our order. If the oysters were the stars, the mussels were a very good runner up. Plump and sweet, not a dud in the bowl. The broth was good enough to drink right from the bowl, but fortunately the griddled French bread saved me from embarrassing myself. The cocktail list is tight and the bartenders were great. Wine offerings by the glass lean sweet, but the bottle options will get you what you want at a fair price. Great happy hour deals ($1 oysters, $30 bottles of Muscadet). The scallop roll looked awesome, and I'll be sure to try that when I get back to Beaucoup.

Are you serious? This place is a GEM. Arrived at roughly 5:45pm on a Friday, just after HH concluded (darn). Although the restaurant is quaint and only offers ~30 seats, we were seated immediately. But, the place was popping! We ordered some cocktails to start. I tried the 'Back to Basics' which features blanco tequila, Aperol, lemon, passion fruit, and habanero. It's nicely balanced and not overly sweet (which I really appreciate) and it had a nice kick to it from the pepper. I really enjoyed it - so much so that I ordered a second. My husband enjoyed the 'Off the Wall,' which I also thought was good, but he opted for champs for his second round, so do with that what you will. We enjoyed two dozen oysters (we are oyster fanatics) and especially loved the Blue Points. The Minnie Pearls were also enjoyed. If you are interested in the gougeres, I would opt to order these with your raw oysters if you plan on enjoying both. Otherwise, it's basically just like little bread bites without any sauce. They were the only thing we had that I wasn't very impressed by and it really just made me want more oysters. We really enjoyed the Panisse with Calabrian Chili Aioli and I'm very glad we took a chance and tried them. They were different but tasted similar in flavor to sausage - a vegetarians DREAM. The frites were delicious too, and I actually ended up preferring to dip them in the aioli that came with the Panisse rather than the garlic aioli they came with. The star of the show (besides the raw oysters) was the Scallop Roll. I read many reviews before our visit that stated this dish was a must have and now I see why. It was DIVINE - perfectly chilled on the classic buttered roll that you would expect with a lobster roll and the salad was perfectly made with fresh chives. So fresh, slightly sweet, and absolutely delicious. Now I see what all the rave is about and I plan to continue to enjoy this dish each time I visit. Overall, our bill for everything was $185 after tax and before tip. We really enjoyed our dinner at Beaucoup and plan to add this lively seafood spot to our list of favorite date night spots in Richmond.

I don't even like oysters, and I'm still enamored by Beaucoup. This intimate bar took over the Commercial Taphouse space and clearly put in the work to renovate and elevate the ambiance. They recently opened to much fanfare, for good reason. Right now they're not accepting reservations, but the wait wasn't terrible at all (roughly 50 minutes during primetime on a Saturday night). They take down your phone number so you can migrate elsewhere while you wait, and they call when you're next in line, so you have time to get back without losing your spot. The tables are extremely close, like so close that they have to be moved to let the person on the booth side in and out. If that's not your vibe, maybe skip or come at an off-peak time. They have bar seating as well, but they do not have seat backs, which I cannot tolerate in my old age with a creaky back. Service was great for the most part. At one point our server took my order and then left when my friend was ready to order too, but I think that was just opening weekend jitters and also it's fairly loud in there. It didn't take her long to come back either. I ordered one of their signature drinks to drink, the Off the Wall gin cocktail, to start. It was well done, very refreshing, and not overpoweringly boozy. For food, I ordered the Comte cheese, which came with the mini pickles whose name escapes me, some bread, and some tangy mustard. It was so good. A very mild cheese. My friend had an herbal cheese dip with chips that I didn't like quite as much. I also ordered the fries with garlic aioli. They tasted so familiar. I feel like they must be duck-fat fries even though the menu didn't specify. Either way, they were tasty. For my meal, I ordered the flounder filet, which came in a room-temperature soft-boiled egg sauce. In theory that sounds disgusting, in actuality, it was SO GOOD. Like the ideal complement to the perfectly cooked fish. I had a great first impression all in all. The only downfall was that partway through our meal, a couple sat next to us and the woman had bathed in perfume before going out. Please don't be that person. Anyway, I'm sure I'll be back!

If you like oysters/seafood and wine, then this is the spot for you. It's definitely delicious and interesting. It's the 3rd restaurant from the same owner of Grisette and Jardin and is a perfect French dive. Today (in my world) it's opening weekend and they were slammed. Most definitely because their stellar reputation precedes them. It's well earned as the food was fresh and phenomenal. I did wait about 45min for a couple of bar seats but it was expected. All seats were first come. Service was excellent. I don't remember his name but he was nice and helpful. Oyster prices are good. The fried oysters were my favorite and delicious. I loved the flavor combo of the roasted oysters and they were filling. Don't sleep on the gougeres as they are delicious little cheesy choux bites. The frites and aioli are perfect as always- never change!! And finally, the scallop roll. Where has this been all my life?!? I love it. It gives lobster rolls a run for the money. It's so fresh, so light, and the bread is perfect. Don't try to split one, just get your own. Also, pro-tip, save your sauce from the fried oyster for the chips that come with the scallop roll, they go perfectly together. Enjoy!! It was a fantastic meal.

I love Beaucoup beaucoup!! Grisette's creations always brings a taste of European life to Richmond. I adore their wine patio at Jardin, their delicious food at Grisette, and now their divine seafood and cocktails at Beaucoup. I just visited on their grand opening night and had a blast. We were a group of three and decided to go family style. Here's what we got: Off the Wall: This gin cocktail is delicious! I don't like when my cocktails taste mostly like the liquor used in them, so this was a great pick for me. The ginger shined and it was pretty floral and light. I really liked it. Skeleton Key AND Back to the Basics: My friend got these because she's a mezcal and tequila girlie. She loved both of these. We both liked the spiciness in the back to the basics. Dirty Martini: My other friend loved this so much she got three. Yes they were that good. A dozen raw oysters: Wow I love oysters! And they have really good ones here. Tonight they had lynnhaven fancies, gigamotos, blue points, and shooting points. We all agreed that the gigamotos were the best. Scallop roll: You must get this! It's so refreshing and delicious. The scallops are cooked perfectly and are light and refreshing. The milk bread it comes on is a dream combo. The chips on the side are also yummy. Mussels marinière: I'm drooling thinking about the sauce. It came with unlimited bread. It was an incredible focaccia with toasted butter. The mussels were yummy too. Soooo good. Bluefin tuna crudo: The nuts and apples really elevated this dish. The other dishes we got were the main stars, but the crudo played a strong supporting role. Dessert: I'm blanking on the same of our dessert, but it was this incredible chocolate mousse pudding with peanuts and chocolate crumble. You have to check out Beaucoup. The service is incredible, we laughed nonstop with our waitress. My friends and I had a blast catching up over amazing food. Highly recommend trying this place.
