Café Boulud - Toronto, Ontario

Came back in February for valentine's day 🙊 Charcuterie Board (off menu)💕 Foie Gras👌 Tartare de Boeuf💕 French Onion Soup💕 Canard Rotisserie (for 2)💕 Brussel Sprouts💕 Truffle Fries 💕 Dessert Board 💕 We came at a referral of a friend and got such a royal treatment 💕 We were able to try a few items off the regular menu, ... like the premium charcuterie board as well as a dessert board. The Foie Gras pate was exquisite, especially with the pops of fruit, jelly, and macadamia nuts. The beef tartare was one of the best I've ever had, same with the deep flavour of the French Onion Soup! The duck rotisserie came highly recommended, and it did not disappoint. The breast was extremely moist and tender - paired with peach which we never tried before and surprisingly goes so well together! The 72 hour confit legs were fall off the bone and juicy. All of the desserts were decadent, but my favorites were the warm madelines and the chocolate dome with Profiteroles inside. Read more

The service was outstanding. The food is fresh and exceptional. Everything that we ordered was perfect. Top 10 brunch spot for sure!

I had an awful experience at Cafe Boulud. On January 14th, my friend and I had brunch at Cafe Boulud and we met the server who worn the black eyeglasses. He was unfriendly and unprofessional from the beginning to the end. I can assume he is racist because he was helpful ... and friendly to others, except us. At first, we were confused about the menus and asked my server, but he barely answered my questions and left. We tried to call him throughout this whole period, and he ignored us. I was glad one server helped us in the meantime. I thought he wouldn’t come to the table anymore, so I just wanted to finish experiencing that bad service and asked for the bills. After a while, he showed up with the bills. A few days later, Jonathan Chan contacted me with a few messages about the solution. From the messages, he invited me back and honoured a complimentary course to me as the restaurant manager. I could feel he was so polite and professional in handling this bad situation. He confirmed the reservation by email for me. That’s why I came back yesterday. I drove from the north to downtown and was late by 5mins. I called the restaurant and spoke with the host whose name starts with K. He told me there was no reservation under my name and Jonathan was no longer with the restaurant, and he couldn't help with it. I was wondering why the restaurant did not let me know before I came in. I tried to talk to the manager, but somehow the host said he didn't know who the current manager is. I was so disappointed and pissed off with the way they’ve treated me. I spent my time to drive to downtown and got that ‘fantastic’ service. I need a formal and sincere apology from the restaurant. Updated, manager Yann called me and apologized for all of that and welcomed me back as well. I appreciated he was professional, nice and polite on the phone. But I just do not have any confidence to come back. Hopefully, the customer service will be improved and you guys won't experience what I’ve suffered. Overall, weekend brunch set is not meet my standard and over-priced as Michelin guide restaurant. In general, the main course and appetizer are a bit salty to me. The oyster is plain and not flavourful. The only thing I like is Madeleine, and please enjoy it warm. Read more

We had an amazing Easter bunch. 2 course menu (appetizer and main) plus a lamb table, waffle table and dessert bar. I would highly recommend the short ribs and steak and eggs. Probably the best steak and eggs I ever had. Perfectly cooked. The champagne ... mimosas are also perfect. Lamb is also amazing. Waffle is ok but the dessert table is absolutely beautiful and delicious. Coffees are also perfect too. The price is not cheap but worth every penny. Will definitely go back again. Read more

Visited this establishment multiple times. Each time had an amazing experience! To begin with, the staff is amazing! They are very friendly and kind in a professional manner. The food is impeccable. Each time I dined at this restaurant, I ordered the steak as a main dish. The meat is ... soft and extremely delicious. I loved the purée that the dish came with. Overall, I definitely recommend this place for any occasion! Read more
