Bar Boulud is one of Daniel Boulud's many restaurants in the city. I've adored every restaurant so far and I've only been to two others - DBGB and Cafe Boulud. I know Marcos and I will eventually make it to his elegant restaurant - Daniel. Also, after going to his website, I'm eyeing to go to DB Bistro Moderne and Bar Pleiades asap!
I went to Bar Boulud with a good friend of mine and we truly enjoyed our dinner.
I started with the Salade de Crabe with peekytoe crab, pink grapefruit, avocado, jalapeno and tarragon. The portion was small, but the salad was divine.

Right after our appetizers came out, they delivered a set of complimentary cheese puffs. So delicious and left us wanting for more. It also reminded me of two things - Daily Candy cheese puff recipe that I still have yet to attempt and The Artisanal Bistro.

We decided on the Cobia et Legumes du Marche. The roasted cobia is a white fish (not fatty) and was complemented with vegetables (legumes) - sunchokes, market potatoes, crosnes, picholine olives and meyer lemon jus. We found the fish to be quite bland unfortunately and kind of regretted our entree of choice to share.

We decided on two sides to share - the Cauliflower Gratin and Pomme Frites. The cauliflower gratin was like a cauliflower mac and cheese that we couldn't get enough of. It was beyond perfect. However, the pomme frites was just good as they were without enough crisp.

We ended dinner with Gateau Basque - a custard cake complemented with kumquat confit and vanilla anglaise. This was also extraordinary delicious. I was in love with the candied kumquats.

Overall, dinner was great, but wish we had selected a dinner entree to share. Will definitely return for another meal, perhaps brunch.
