Cafe Boulud - Four Seasons Hotel Toronto
Located at the exquisite new Four Seasons Hotel Toronto at the corner of Bay and Yorkville, Café Boulud serves a menu filled with the seasonal bounty of Ontario and the Niagara Peninsula. Chef Daniel Boulud's cooking parallels his four culinary muses: La Tradition, Le Saison, Le Potager and Le Voyage, the latter for our casually refined Mediterranean dishes.
Perfectly suited for your next business lunch, Café Boulud's prix-fixe menu will have you back at your desk quickly and affordably. When shopping, you'll find us just steps from The Mink Mile. The light filled, loft-like restaurant, located on the corner of Yorkville Avenue and Bay Street is suspended above a street level bar and lounge, and includes a private dining room for up to ten guests. The restaurant serves breakfast, lunch and dinner seven days a week.
Whether before or after your meal, we welcome you to sip cooling cocktails at d bar, our lively lounge.
We look forward to welcoming you to Café Boulud!

"We just returned from a fabulous dinner at the new Cafe Boulud. It was a special night for us and the entire staff at the Cafe made us feel very welcomed. Right from the reception staff, sommelier, wait staff and servers. We had a variety of dishes which were all splendid (lobster salad, foie gras, linguine pasta, salmon, veal) . The entire focus of a Four Season's experience is superb customer service and they came through with flying colours. We look forward to our return visit."

"I love the unpretentious vibe of this restaurant. I would definitely return to try more dishes and already recommended this restaurant to friends and family. I had the B.C. Black Cod Persillade (loved the parsley broth) which was amazing. The two appetizers that we shared [seared Albacore Tuna and Octopus á la Plancha) was an absolute hit. Service was excellent and overall the food was affordable."

"Service and attention was impeccable. My husband accidently dropped his napkin and the waitress was immediately there with a fresh one. First time ever this has happened to us. I injured my toe on the washroom door and the staff were very discreet, attentive and efficient to get me a band-aid. Well done."

"the food was so flavourful and the portions perfect...not so much that you were full, but it encourages you to try more, and therefore, it engages the diner's palate more. I went especially for a repeat on the grilles octopus with marcona almonds that I had loved in New York...there was an absence of the Jerez vinegar in the Toronto Boulud..the only disappointment.. service was attentive and helpful throughout. Lots of business men as it is in the Yorkville district, but not exclusively so. I would really recommend it for those tired of the huge plates of pasta, or the overly small plates of Tapas. Truly delicious!"

"I love how the food is prepared. Simple and Honest. Nothing pretentious to make fancy and impress. Delicious and well balanced plate. This restaurant is great for special occasions or simply to unwind and be away from the dense crowd of the city. I would recommend the Cumbrae Beef Duo and the Terrine.
Service was excellent. Knowing you're in the 4 Seasons Hotel, how can service go wrong."

"I celebrated Mother's Day Brunch at cafe Bolud. The food service and ambience all great I was especially impressed as it was a very busy day - but the service never falters. Also - restaurants tend to do short fixed menus for these occasions that aim to keep the table turning - the food was great and a great selection (I especially liked the Mediterranean themed dishes). I will definitely go back"

"The Boulud restaurant is new to the city and is first class. The chef's presentations are really something to talk about.
This was our first time and we will go again.
Waiters were intentive, friendly and most helpful in explaining all the food on the menu and also recommended wine which would go well with the meal.
A pleasant experience - from the check in to the end!"

"It was my second time to Cafe Boulud and once again I was very pleased with my evening. The food is good (as it should be at the Four Seasons), but what really sets it apart is the level of service. From the hostess to the sommelier, everyone provided exceptional service. It was attentive when required, but not hovering and notable for the lack of pretension. My only complaint with the restaurant is the wine list. I would like to see more wines in the $70 to $100 range. It's possible to achieve this even at a fine dining restaurant. Scaramouche is a case in point. Besides that, everything was perfect. We will definitely be back."

"The food and presentation were very solid. The duck egg was fun but a little heavy on the mustard and the black cod was weak but this was more than made up for by the beef duo and beatifully played foi gra. The wine lost was interesting. It was the atmosphere that was confusing: White table cloth service but with cheap plastic place mats."

"Everything from the greeting when we arrived to when we left was notable and appreciated. The food made the meal but the staff, without being over the top about it, made the experience memorable. From the octopus and crispy duck egg starters to the steak and speckled trout mains, the food was exceptional and bursting with flavour on all levels. We're not big dessert people but they were a stand out here too. Cocktails were delicious as well, all in all, a lovely leisurely lunch experience on a Saturday afternoon."

"We were greeted by Marcela in Spanish, very pleasant surprise, she arranged to have a Happy Birthday dessert for our friend who was celebrating her birthday and was well done.
Please thanks Marcela, she was not there when we left.
We had a nice table as requested for 8 of us.
Food was excellent
Service fast and attentive
Wine didn't find in your list the French wine I saw in the Internet at $42.00 bust asked for it, we ordered two bottles and we enjoyed it.

The menu is very diverse but well organized and there are lots of well done classic dishes for the less adventurous and some more unique flavors the foodies. Everything was delicious."

"We were looking forward to a treat based on the name "Bouloud" and we kept waiting for it throughout our dinner. I have never had such a disappointment."

"This beautiful restaurant is located in the magnificent and new Four Seasons Hotel in Toronto.
We enjoyed dinner with an excellent risotto with black truffles , delicious and delicate ravioli, and more. The service was impeccable. I commend the manager for training the staff so well.
I loved the lively atmosphere and the beautiful, relaxed decor."

"The waiter was very attentative, prompt and disnt forget to fill up my special request for almond milk with my coffee. We went there just before an appointment at the spa upstairs and the waiter made sure we were not going to be late, despite being stuck in traffic and running late for reservation. All the staff was friendly, the food was great. I would definitely come back with family, mom, girlfriends... Was really a great little spot."

"This resto has received some bad press which based on our evening is entirely unjustified. Not as good as the NYC location but still quite good. Assured food well presented, effective and unobtrusive staff. Appropriate for personal or professional get-togethers. Toronto needs more restaurants like this."

"Not every restaurant opened by a celebrity chef is a winner. But Daniel Boulud has done a wonderful job here. I think it all starts with the staff he has put in place as I'm sure he is not there on a regular basis. Great job from the front and back of the house. We will be back!"

"Food quality was good and portions were not overwhelming so one could actually enjoy three courses. Service attentive and friendly
Music was load, irritating and totally inappropriate for this sort of restaurant and hotel.
Furniture and crockery and cutlery was very cheap and unappealing and not what you expect from a Boulud restaurant"

"The expectation was big however it did not deliver. The food is good, the room and the service did not live up to the reputation. Although the staff are friendly and there is an army of them when the appetizers arrived they got it all wrong... no plate arrived at the right person. One diner had asked them to leave an ingredient out and that did not happen... when the server noticed it while putting the pepper on it was whisked away however then everyone else had theirs so do we wait or go ahead. Always a delema, however the replacement did arrive shortly. They did a little better with the delivery of the main course. Wine service was slow and we had to ask if there was any more as it was tucked away some distance from the table."

"had a great night at cafe boulud.
the menu was interesting broken into 4 "styles" of dishes. So depending on your mood you could have a variety of choices. Really just a nice way of breaking down a relatively extensive menu. You can certainly mix and match although I think we ended up all "traditional".
I started with the Terrine de Fois Gras while my wife had the lobster bisque. Mains were black cod and the duo of beef. Both also very tasty. We had enjoyed a big brunch at 2 in the afternoon, so were perhaps still a bit full from that, but even so, the portions seemed reasonable(though not huge). Dessert was excellent too.
Service was great from wait staff, sommelier and front desk. We certainly enjoyed teh evening."

"This was my second client lunch at Cafe Bolud. On both occasions, my guests and I (all of whom are foodies and have experienced a lot of fine dining) were wowed by the food. On the last visit our table ordered the beet and blood orange salad or mushroom appetizer, followed by the halibit or risotto, followed by the grapefruit or warm chocolate and caramel dessert. All were delicious, impeccably prepared and gorgeously presented. The sommelier came by unbeckoned. He was engaging and clearly knowledgeable without a hint of the barely restrained condescension all too common in the fine dining scene. The servers are articulate and know the menu very well. The manager is charming and keen to ensure guests enjoy themselves. Fantastic!"

"Food was very good. I had the butter lettuce salad which I found a bit heavy on the mustard but otherwise tasty. Vegetable cocotte was nicely flavoured. My husband enjoyed his foie gras appetizer and black cod which was cooked perfectly. Desserts were delicious. Service was excellent--well paced and gracious. The sommelier was very knowledgeable and made excellent recommendations for the wine with our meal as well as a dessert wine. As it was our anniversary, he generously provided complimentary champagne before our meal. Looking forward to our next getaway weekend at the Four Seasons which will definitely include dining again at Cafe Boulud."

"The food and wine was excellent, exactly what I have come to expect from Boulud, after having dined at his establishments in New York.
The decor was a problem, the art was cool but the weird stucco pillars and woven plastic placemats were both tacky and seemed out of place.
Fix those two things and the ambiance would have been much improved. The music was at a good level and although open we didn't hear the people down in the bar lounge."
