Cafe Boulud was a unique experience. This French gem was hidden in what looks like the middle of some upscale houses in a sweet little oasis that was perfect on a day like today to sit outdoors in Florida with a temperature of 75 degrees. We ordered the scones and charcuterie to start. The scones were PHENOMENAL!!!! The butter it came with was shaped into ice cream. The taste was so buttery, fluffy and warm as if it was straight out of the oven. There was a sweetness to it. Gosh they were so delicious! Beware of the charcuterie though, as it did NOT come with cheese. I actually sent it back because the whole point of why I ordered it is because I am a cheese connoisseur. The waiter switched the charcuterie meat platter and brought over an actual cheese platter with Brie, other cheeses, nuts and grapes. For my main course, I ordered the steak and eggs which tasted amazing. They came with potatoes and tomatoes. I ordered my steak medium and eggs overboard. I loved how there was grilled onions that came atop the steak. For dessert, we ordered the Tarte aux Fraises which consisted of strawberries, vanilla cream and basil ice cream. Overall magnificent experience!! Will definitely be back. read more

Horrible service. Unhelpful management. Arrived at noon. Had not recied entrees by 1:18 pm after inquiring of server and manager. People that arrived 40 minutes after us were eating while we waited. No apologies. No explanations. The food came a few minutes later. Obviously had been under a heat lamp because the chicken had a gleam and the fish was dry. Put the food in front of us with no explanation and no introduction. If you gave any self respect, dont waste your time. read more

This review is a bit late and somehow this didn't post but I have fond memories at this place. We came for brunch and it was the most perfect place to sit outside. The drinks were beautifully prepared. I will be back. read more

What an interesting experience, when you walk you feel like your about to enter a different world. We sat down and were greeted with a professional manner. As we sat at the table, there were bugs flying around, these ants landed on our food landing in my hair. We had to address to the manager, and they came over and moved us. We sat another table. It was lovely. The menu had to be explained to me cause it's in another language, which is was perfectly fine. It was a beautiful French restaurant. The decor was absolutely adorable. We ordered a few items for dinner and then the food came out in a timely fashion. Our guests were so much fun. We laughed and laughed. It got a little loud at the bar, and then it got a lot a lot louder at the bar. Our food came in, with all the respect the prices on the menu did not reflect, did not reflect the food that was put on the plate. I know that's a different way of eating. I guess I'm not used to something like that but when you pay $53 for a piece of fish and you'll only get maybe 3 ounces and the plate is decorated. I guess that is not for me. What we did order was absolutely delicious, as we were leaving the bar area was so loud and so crowded. I didn't realize that we were walking into a disco club if I had known that, then we would never have gone. As we left, all we saw was the DJ everyone dancing and with all the respect, I didn't think that was the type of place that chef Boulud really supported. For me that was a one and done. I will not return.! read more

Found it via google and it did Not disappoint. First the coffee was solid. A very good cappuccino that dis not need sugar added to it. The scones for a starter: where do I begin? We were pretty hungry after church so we startled with coffee and scones. Wow. I've never had such amazing scones--buttery, soft, not dry and flavorful. The Devonshire cream was perfect with French vanilla beans. I am not over it and just need these shipped to me. Starter salad: smoked salmon with greens in a potato hash basket. Good refreshing satisfying. The ideal warm weather app. Main: Dover sole with yellow rice and au jus. Very good. Nice and lite, perfect as a summer lunch. Chicken with creamed spinach and mash potatoes: very good especially the spinach. Dessert: Panna cotta with mango sherbet and tropical fruit pieces--amazing and refreshing. Birthday dessert: the waiter said it was a rice de leche mousse but it didn't taste like it. It actually didn't have a ton of flavor and we couldn't tell what it tasted like. Overall great experience, great service from Curtis and the team. read more

What a Great place, I love coming here. So elegant. Great for a nice business lunch or a great dinner with friends, people watching, food is outstanding. And the wait staff so friendly and professional. I've tried a few dishes but I love their shrimp salad, so many fresh flavors. And for the entree I recommend the Dover sole. I love the deboning presentation. Fish just melts in your mouth. And for dessert the fondant au chocolat, amazing must try. And it's fun to practice my French with the staff. read more

3/8/2026. Dinner with wife and friends. Sat inside at a quieter table than last time. Pretty dining area. They have outside seating. Menu has changed. They got our martini order wrong. At the end they also got our cappuccino order wrong. We had 4 different waiters during the meal which is why they kept getting orders wrong. In their defense they were very pleasant and professional. The meals: the lobster pasta and Artic Char were very good. The wine list is ample but expensive, so we skipped wine. We skipped desert. Dinner for 4, including 2 martinis and 1 glass of wine was $500. read more

Cafe Boulud has been on my try list for a while and my boyfriend just took me as a surprise. We had a hard time finding the restaurant at first once we found street parking but when we located it, it was beautiful! Dimly lit but a candle at our table - this was romantic. I hands down wanted the beef tartare here. I loved the tableside presentation and it tasted very fresh. There were a few items I would try but we ended up splitting a tomahawk steak and sides. Presentation was everything. The server made sure we received sauces to go with our meal as well. There was a hiccup where they sent us the wrong type of spinach but the server let us keep it and came back with the correct item, cream of spinach for us. Overall this was an amazing meal with a very aesthetic view. We loved the food. It was a bit overpriced but it was a nice splurge. read more

I had the opportunity to participate in a private event at Cafe Boulod The private event room is beautiful and intimate to host the 60 participantsz The setting at the Brazilian Court is a amazing. The courtyard is an tropical garden for dining or just drinks. I could have just stayed outside and enjoyed the experience The food and service were 5 star The fish entree was perfectly prepared and my partners filet mignot was as well. Bravo Cafe Boulud! read more

This place is just cashing in on the Boulud brand without substance to back it up. Service terrible to the point it detracted from the experience; inattentive and worse, walked by repeatedly when our glasses were empty, this after requiring me to beg for bread (!) from the busser after we placed our orders. We were apparently forgotten for large stretches of our time there Desserts were great. 8/10. As for everything preceding dessert: Apps and entrees were unremarkable and unmemorable. Steak tartare was only dish inarguably off taste-wise. Everything else was just bland Overall disappointing and will not be back read more

This is my second time having dinner at this restaurant. Both instances were for my boyfriend's birthday. **Plenty photos!** I love dining on Palm Beach and normally the offerings are absolutely fantastic. That's one of the great things about living in this area is that you can literally have five star dining experiences all the time right around the corner from your house. I was a bit disappointed with our service. Our struggled with simple things like pronunciation of the menu itemsNot that it was a big deal, but it's almost like she was questioning herself and therefore struggling to articulate the names of the dishes but also the details of each dish. She did make good recommendations for us, though. I think that was just pure luck though lol. I felt like the service was a bit canned, there was nothing special about it. It seemed like she decided to give a positive recommendation for everything we asked about. I appreciate straightforward honesty when it comes to recommendations from servers. Especially at a place like this where I'm expecting top level service. The food items were great overall. I didn't care for the charcuterie board, but I didn't order it. Someone else in my party did. It was also very small for the price. But that wasn't a shock or anything, especially in this economy. It's just something that I'm noting. The other apps were, steak, tartare prepared table side, and a dozen oysters. The oysters were by far the best app. I gotta say I like the idea of steak tartare, b/c of his cousin the ever so delicious tuna tartare. But I would never order it. Again, someone else at the table ordered that appetizer (it was the man I love y'all ). The entrées were the pasta that they swirl around in the cheese wheel at table side with shaved black truffles, the halibut with vegetables, and the shrimp with risotto. Everybody enjoyed their meals, but we did notice inconsistencies with the cheese wheel pasta! The first portion was amazing. The second portion was OK. And the third portion which was placed into the cheese wheel last had the most oil in the bowl, and the least cheese flavor and presents in the bowl. That third portion of pasta sat there for the longest so it cooled off, and it didn't heat the cheese will properly when it was put inside and swirled around. So they need to work on that. We overheard some confused discussion about who was gonna do what task in the presentation of that cheese when pasta. Maybe if they figured out ahead of time (and not at table side lol) then we wouldn't have had that issue. For dessert we ordered the peanut sponge cake, the chocolate and almond mousse, and the cheesecake. The chocolate almond mousse was by far the star. The other two desserts were beautifully presented, but the flavor configuration didn't do it for us. The ambiance was beautiful as always, but there was no sign of the valet when it was time to leave so we had to grab some one to find the valet and get the car brought around. Another review giving it to you straight no chaser! Enjoy! read more

We met friends for a 75th birthday dinner on a Monday night. The reservation was made a month in advance for 4 people. When the hostess showed us the table, we sat down and discovered she sat us next to the private dining room where they had a large celebratory party. It was difficult to hear each other. I went to the desk and asked to be moved The hostess pointed to a table to move too and did not even walk us over. Seriously! Our dinners had mixed review Two of us had the wagyu steak. Why was this expensive beef chewy! There were adequate staff but impossible to get a water refill since apparently most did not understand English. This place needs some staff education and training The continuous jets passing overhead were noisy. read more

Chef Daniel Boulud is amazing! Everything I tried was flavorful, perfectly seasoned, and at the right temperature. The Tuna tartar was fresh with crunchy chips, the Pate had the perfect texture and paired amazing with all the accoutrements but the star of the show had to be the Filet with Oxtail stuffed cabbage, it was cooked a perfect med rare with a fresh herb sauce on the bottom. Bar drinks were also good, got a margarita and a mezcal Black manhattan. Portions are quite small and food took a little while to arrive. 15-20 mins between courses. But deff Recommend to anyone in Palm beach. read more

This restaurant is located in the Brazilian Court Hotel & Beach Club. Beautiful interior. Valet parking. Walking to and from the restaurant, it smelled like mold in the walkway. Hopefully that smell is temporary. The food was good. Enjoyed everything: foie gras, pate, crusty bread, loup de mer (fish), tomahawk steak, salad (basic but fresh and crisp), potato puree, my white cosmopolitan cocktail, The tomahawk tasted a tinge gamey for me. The truffle cacio pepe was decadent and delicious. We tried the raspberry sorbet meringue, chocolate (lava) cake with pistachio ice cream, something like a Snickers/Twix cake with ice cream. The service was attentive, but we were disappointed that they didn't move us to a larger table to accommodate our large order. The table was uncomfortably full that there was a "danger" of knocking stuff off. Indeed a fork went flying off the table. read more

This upscale French restaurant located in Palm Beach in the historic Brazilian Court Hotel, close to Worth Avenue is an award winning restaurant. Famed Daniel Boulub, the famous Michelin chef offers an exquisite menu. We each had the three course Price Fixe special lunch menu $52 currently offered Monday to Sunday. I had the Salad, Grilled Wahoo and the Chocolate Cake. Everything was so delicious. My friend had the Sole, $15 more. It looked and tasted great until her last bite which she said was terrible. She didn't want to say anything. Other than that, it was a great experience. A 20% gratuity is added to the check. The service was very nice. read more

I came in on a whim on a Friday morning to enjoy a quiet breakfast after a contemplative walk on the beach. For the uninitiated this is a 1 Michelin-star restaurant owned by Chef Daniel Boulud. I have been eyeing this restaurant for a few years so I took this as an opportunity to scope it out. I sat at a corner table facing some of the beautiful greenery visible through the outside windows. The morning light in the room is wonderful. I was wearing a more casual dress at the time. I did not look out of place but I would say for dinner look presentable. I enjoyed the New Yorker toasted bagel, with smoked salmon, red onion, green olive schmear and sun-dried tomato. Beautifully presented. The real star of my dining experience were the scones with Devonshire cream. Divine. Scones like none I had ever had before. They came out warm and the cream when applied melted beautifully onto the crisp outer surface. I will never have another unwarmed scone again. In fact, all other scones will be compared to these. They set the bar high. The service was top notch. Unobtrusive but attentive. While I was there a food photographer was taking photos of the next seasonal lineup. I got to meet the head chef and the general manager. Both great people. If you choose to come for breakfast on a weekday it is quiet and serene. A group of 5 women vacationing came in while I was finishing up my meal and they were a little more boisterous. I think one day I may come back for lunch or dinner. I do think that this experience was well-worth it. The price is what it is - you are paying for the ambience, service, and the food which is par excellence. Definitely a place to have a commemorative meal. read more

High yea was a waste of money not worth it The selection was terrible and too pricey.

Amazing ambiance, impeccable service, treated like kings and queens, incredible cocktails, 8/10 on the food. We came here for Taste of Palm Beach - 4 of us. We arrived early and grabbed a cocktail at the beautiful bar. The gin cocktail I had was outstanding! When our friends arrived, the wait staff gathered our drinks and walked us over to our table, which was a very nice table! We all decided to try different appetizers so we could share: the beet salad and the tuna were clear favorites. The tuna crudo had a very unique flavor, citrus, creamy and tart. Total flavor explosion! The pate was super heavy. I can't recommend that one. My gf insisted we split the loup de mar grille for dinner - the fish was sea bass. We didn't end up with the sauce we wanted so they gave us a substitute and a free side dish. The fish was okay. I wouldn't rave about it, but the sauce was tasty. The roasted squash side was incredible though! My fiancé and his buddy had the steak. They said it was eh. The service from beginning to end was perfect though. The minute I needed more wine, they were there to pour me some! For dessert my fiancé went with the baked Alaskan, which I think was the best one! I did the tart, which was okay, 6/10. The pastry cream was eh and the tart was basic. I had been wanting to eat here for over two years, so I'm thrilled we finally made it. The service blew me away, so I will definitely be back. I have been to other Daniel Boulud restaurants and was never disappointed. Taking into consideration the entire experience and not just the food, I'm still giving it 10/10. read more

Paid for the privilege. Ate here for breakfast on a particularly beautiful, breezy and cool morning which allowed me to enjoy the courtyard and participate in some people watching. Service was good, but after our food was brought out, I was only checked on once. I had the eggs benedict, it wasn't bad, have had better at mom and pop places. My mom has the mushroom omelette which she enjoyed. All in all, it was an experience :p FYI they automatically add a 20% gratuity on to any bill. read more

I used to judge restaurants by the bread & now so few NYC spots actually have a good bread service. The setting here is stunning at Brazil Court in Palm Beach & wines are good & pricey. Ate and drank: Dow tawny port Green gazpacho Salad Nicoise Total : $78 before tip Bread was cold with butter. Not freshly baked. This was the brunch menu btw.

Included and worth mentioning is an incredible Panna Cotta served in what looks like a Faberge egg. Enjoy! read more

Fabulous a bottle of Far Niente Chardonnay Followed by I had the Duck two nice breasts medium rare. Large portions. Spinach with garlic. We also had Sea bass enpapiote. Also beyond good. The service was excellent. Very friendly and conversational. All very attentive With our Cappuccino they served a raspberry chocolate covered. Something. Also great lol.

Great Food! Great service by our waiter Calvin. Horrible attitude by the hostess Liz. She does not exemplify the image of this establishment. On the evening of Saturday Sept. 6th, 2025 we arrived at 5:15 for our 5:30 she preceded to tell us she could not sit us until 5:30. We waited in the lobby area, 5:30 came and went and we again approached her and she once again ignored us. At 5:45 she started seating people she knew. I then decided to approach the Manager Marcial who took it upon himself to sit us down. We have a great and pleasant evening with our server Calvin. Upon paying the check I sought out Marcial to personally thank him for the service and evening. As we left the dining area we walked by the hostess station in order to get to our car and as we passed by she decided to taunt us with her sarcastic comment and tone. "It was sooo nice meeting you tonight. Come back again." At the point we were about 6 Ft past her and I decided I have had enough with this arrogant impolite hostess who clearly has no regard for the position she holds at this fine dining restaurant. I walked inside the restaurant and approached Marcial and once again advised him that I was simply leaving the place and she decided to seek us out with her attitude and her impolite behavior. He was once again apologetic towards me. As Marcial and and I were speaking Liz decided to defiantly walk up where Marcial and I were conversing, basically acting as I don't care what you say as do I can't be touched. Wow! Being local I can assure you that I will refrain from Boulud Sud and Cafe Boulud as clearly their culture is one that I cannot simply condone. I always support local businesses that deserve my hard earned money but not this one. read more

My sister was celebrating her 15th bday and wanted to go there for breakfast. Customer Service: Beside having a hard time to find the entrance of the hotel customer service was great. We did valet because it is included at no extra cost. Ernst was our waiter and he is amazing, he was checking on us every minute making sure we were good. Excellent customer service. Drinks: I had a bellini, I usually like my bellini's sweeter but other than that it was great. My sisters had lemonade, it was a bit sour so we added more water to it. My dad had a pepperment tea and it was needed. Food: We loved everything we had. My sister and i had an egg benedit and it was delicious, the hollandaise sauce was amazing. My middle sister had the avocado tartine, also amazing and my dad had the mushroom omelette and he also loved it. We had a side of homefries which was different but def was a taste to it with a little bit of extra salt. Price: Pretty affordable actually. We spent $200. Including 20% gratuity and a little extra we gave for tip since Ernst was so great. Want to come back for dinner. read more

My husband and I have come here before and had a great meal and service. Last night we had family In town and booked at table for 10+. Because of the size of the party we had a pre-fixe menu and gratuity was included. I have to say the overall experience was disappointing. The food was good- but not great and the worst was the service was not good. They forgot drink orders, did not refill wine and mixed up entreees. Overall I was very dissatisfie.

From the front to back of the house expect the upmost level of service. Valet greets you with a warm welcome. Hostess is delighted to see you. The server was very attentive. The white comos is their signature drink. It was beautiful with a frozen orchid floating in the martini glass. I had a 3-course lunch which included this gorgeous plated large portion of salmon with crème fresh and greens. My main plate was a duo of beef, short rib and tenderloin. It came in a truffle sauce and was cooked to perfection. The chocolate dessert with gold leaf was a piece of art and tasted as good as it looked. They have a beautiful outdoor dining courtyard but it was a bit windy the day I dined here. I opted for the dining room which was elegant yet comfortable. read more

First time at Cafe Boulud. Friendly staff. We went to try their Flavor Palm Beach menu. I had the bluefin tuna crudo appetizer. It was good. I had the pan seared bavette steak as my entree. It was very good. The coconut rice from my friend's entree was delicious! She had the crispy florida snapper. It was very good, although she was surprised it was fried (since that was not mentioned on the menu). I had the baked alaska for dessert. It would have been delicious, had there not been an excessive amount of rum poured on top. Every bite had an overwhelming rum taste. My friend had the citrus tart and was not a fan. We both look forward to coming back for brunch and trying more of their menu. Beautiful atmosphere. I had the white cosmopolitan and it was pretty but a bit sweet for my liking (even though I usually like sweet drinks). My friend had some sort of tequila-based drink (that surprisingly came with a miniature popsicle) that she very much enjoyed. I gave 3 stars due to being charged $8 for water. Upon being seated, we were asked if we wanted still or sparkling water - we said still.... but it did not come out in a special bottle (not that we expected it to since we thought we were getting regular water) nor were we told we'd be charged for it. If we would have seen it was some sort of special bottled water, we would have turned it away and asked for regular water. They should definitely be more transparent about that. read more

I went to Café Boulud last Wednesday to celebrate an anniversary, hence deciding to try the chef's seasonal tasting menu for 125$ per person. The tasting menu was composed of 6 courses, plus table bread and mini post-dessert pastries. I was disappointed by the appearance of the garden salad on the second course of the tasting menu, which was composed of poorly cut avocados, tomatoes, and mango. I felt as if it really did take away from the whole experience of the tasting menu. Apart from that, all the other dishes were a delight. I would recommend café Boulud for a nice birthday dinner or an anniversary. The atmosphere is quiet, elegant, and the staff is pleasant to speak with. read more
