I was recently in Boston and had the chance to eat at Bar Boulud, one of many restaurants by famous chef Daniel Boulud. With a very modern ambiance that invited you in, I found myself impressed with the meal.
For my appetizer, I ordered a half dozen oysters. They came with a red wine mignonette, cocktail sauce and a lemon. They were a real palate-pleaser with a nice briny taste that had just a touch of sweetness. The oyster had a very nice sea salt taste that made them taste super fresh. Overall the appetizer was very pleasing.
For my entree I enjoyed Steak Frites cooked medium rare. It was cooked perfectly and seasoned very well. When you took a bite it melted in your mouth. It was very juicy which helped with the flavor. A side of hollandaise was a nice touch. The fries were a great side that added the right amount of salt to the meal.
For dessert I had madeleines, a small sponge cake that Boulud is famous for. The cakes were freshly baked and still warm when they got to the table. Topped with powdered sugar, this dessert is the perfect way to end the meal. If you are feeling ambitious, you can even make these at home (http://www.bonappetit.com/recipe/daniel-bouluds-madeleines).
Overall the meal was amazing proving once again why Daniel Boulud is my favorite chef. I highly encourage everyone to go if they get the chance.
