Cafe Boulud Palm Beach

“Cafe Boulud continues to be one of the finest dining experiences in Palm Beach. Nestled inside the beautiful Brazilian Court Hotel, the restaurant offers an elegant atmosphere that feels both timeless and welcoming. What truly sets Cafe Boulud apart is the exceptional service. Many of the servers have been with the restaurant for more than 15 years, and their professionalism, attention to detail, and genuine hospitality are evident from the moment you arrive. It's rare to find a team this experienced and dedicated, and it makes every meal feel special. From the outstanding cuisine to the impeccable service, this is consistently one of the top dinner destinations in Palm Beach. After not visiting for nearly two years, I'm honestly wondering why I waited so long to come back. The experience was every bit as memorable as I remembered, and I can't wait to come back.”

“Delicious restaurant. Got the lobster roll and the burger. Roll lobster meat was perfect cooked, bread was in house and toasted. Burger had too much red onion but I took it off and it was good to go. Excellent set of fries to go with it too. And to top it off, the chocolate cake with the coffee ice cream was the best I’ve ever had.”

“We sat on the patio for dinner on a Friday night and food and atmosphere were excellent. Really a place to be seen in the area. Steak Tartare and grilled octopus were especially good for appetizers. My moule frites was good, but not my favorite. Fries are excellent though and we shared an order for the table.”

“The food and service were both outstanding! We had some shared appetizers and 2 dinners, one being the jumbo stone crab claw the other a wagyu steak. Our apps were steak tartar and grilled octopus. I will say I like my octopus a bit more charred, but the octopus was cooked perfectly and the tartar was deliciously fresh. We also ordered breakfast room service which was good. The club sandwich served by the pool was plenty for 2 people to share. We also had the jumbo shrimp cocktail which was 5 large prawns and very fresh! Overall a wonderful dining experience! On Friday night the bar area got very busy with a DJ and dancing, very lively and fun! Will definitely return for the Friday night nightlife too!”

“Excellent fine, yet approachable, dining. The way they prepared the prime strip and duck was a masterclass on flavor and texture. For the duck, the meat is a spot-on mid rare throughout, sous vide, then a thin layer of seared crisp skin that makes for the perfect bite as you drag it through the carrot puree. You'll find he ginger gastrique is satsfyingly mellow with just enough astringency to compliment the relatively lean breast. The strip steak melts in your mouth, as tender as a choice filet. The classic, straight forward presentation with tender asparagus and hollandaise will satisfy your steak crave. The watermelon and prosciutto salad with brown butter and tarragon was the perfect start to what would be an excellent meal. The broccolini with garlic and chili was the perfect balance of roasted and/or confit garlic and a faint bit of chili. Smooth, sweet and savory with no sharp notes. Every staff member was attentive, professional, and friendly, from the chef to the hostess they had each been expertly trained. Overall there was an attention to detail in the balance of flavors and textures in every single thing we ate. Masters of their craft. Will return.”
