Brasserie Boulud

This restaurant, led by a famous chef, truly delivers on all fronts. The menu is creative and well-executed, and the wine list is excellent. Service was impressively fast and attentive without ever feeling rushed. The atmosphere inside is warm and welcoming, and the outdoor seating is just as inviting — comfortable, well-covered, and protected from bad weather. Don’t hesitate to reserve an outdoor table; it’s a great option. A top-notch dining experience all around.

We had dinner there with friends just before going to opera (it’s very conveniently located right by the opera house) We ordered beef tartar, pate, snails , salad with fennel and chocolate cake for desert. Service was very nice and attentive. Highly recommend , especially if you are looking for the place dinner before the opera.

Very nice restaurant Great location. The food was delicious. The best onion soup ever. I love the charcuterie board. Amazing croissant.

Bar Boulud, although called a "casual bistro" by Chef Daniel Boulud, feels more like a fine dining spot. The atmosphere is elegant yet lively, with a welcoming vibe that avoids being too formal. Most of the guests are older (like me), but the mood is still relaxed and fun. We visited Bar Boulud before seeing Firebird at the New York City Ballet, which is right next door. It's a great location for those attending events at Lincoln Center, making it perfect for a pre-show meal or a post-performance drink to celebrate. The service here is top-notch—attentive and professional, but not stiff or overbearing. The menu features a variety of pâtés and terrines, along with classic French bistro dishes made with great skill and care. Some of our favorite dishes included: • La Soupe à l'Oignon Gra

Amazing food, well presented and plenty of options at the decent prices. Ample indoor and outdoor seating and they have a good wine collection. Would recommend. We loved the chicken liver mousse (amazing flavor and it paired really well with the berry jam), the rainbow trout and the passion fruit cheesecake . The Frenchie burger, hazelnut ice cream, raspberry sorbet and winter salad were decent.
