Bar Boulud

Service was incredibly attentive and perhaps better than the NYC location in it's formalness. The pate en croute was very well made however it's only half a slice which is a bit of an odd presentation. Burger grind is very nice on the classic burger and the morbier cheese gives it a unique flavor combination. I ordered it medium rare and it came medium well. Both the waiter and chef were quick to admit it was overdone and brought a proper replacement perfectly medium rare very fast. Very cozy atmosphere that made you feel at home with a low noise making it easy for conversation.

Upscale place, implied dress code. Price: expensive. Dined here on several occasions. BB burger (Foie Gras) is a good choice and is definitely tasty but for 24 GBP it might not be worth it. Service: excellent. Limited scotch selection but are double pour potions, thus reasonably priced (Lagavulin 16 for 12.5 GBP), served in a chilled glass is a nice touch! Soufflé; delicious but would not order again, on the blander side.

Food was very pleasant, had the mushroom fricassee starter and the Pork Belly off the set menu and again this was done very nicely. I would say the food is reasonably priced given the setting and superb service (obligatory London 12.5% automatically added to the bill) but the booze is very pricey and bizarrely we were asked if we’d like water for the table which I suppose naively we presumed was tap water as it comes in carafes but when the bill came, 6 bottle of water was £24! That is a bit unreasonable and wasn’t clearly communicated by the service staff in my opinion. Overall I’d say probably worth a visit for a special occasion but if all your interested in is equally delicious food at a cheaper price alternative options are available.

As pointed out by many other people who have reviewed the ambience and the service is first class. Probably over attentive for my liking but the heart behind the place is to have a good experience. When it comes to the burger I wouldn’t say it’s the best burger in London. I’m very sure they pride themselves in being the best but I would disagree. Don’t get me wrong it wasn’t a bad burger but I expected more, it felt like it was missing something. Fries though were very very strong and they weren’t stingy with the portions. They got the balance spot on with the amount of salt and it wasn’t greasy. Top marks!! Overall great experience however I believe there are other spots that produce a better burger

This place reopened in December after a long refurbishment. Beautiful decor and perfect lighting adds to the ambience. Their signature cocktails are a must. A good selection of casual French food (also a section of burger and fries) that are rich and tasty. Look at that shine on the sauce of my fish dish, it’s a flavour bomb. We had a very lovely meal.
