Description:
Dying to try the stellar cuisine of Daniel Boulud, New York's best French chef, but can't quite afford Daniel? Then head to Café Boulud, Boulud's more casual playground for new ideas and culinary cross-pollinations. Daniel's high style has been pleasingly laid back and toned down here. With the food, Boulud has gone eclectic, offering four menus: La Tradition, featuring Boulud's signature French-country classics; Le Potager, a vegetarian menu; La Saison, seasonal dishes; and Le Voyage, a monthly globe-hopping menu highlighting Tuscany, Thailand, or somewhere in between. The experimental nature of the wide-ranging menu makes choosing a thrill, and even the most inventive dishes tend to dazzle the palate. But in true Boulud tradition, La Tradition and La Saison are where the kitchen really excels. The poached Dover sole with baby leeks and sauce vin blanc is truly memorable. All in all, a first-rate dining experience at more palatable prices than cuisine this memorable usually costs. Don't be in a rush, though, especially at lunch.

Oh yes!

Out of this world experience. A mixture of quality and imagination, making for a really exciting evening out. Far better than other Michelin star restaurants I've eaten at.
