Café Boulud New York
An Upper East Side fixture for French fare
VERIFIED LUXURY
We verify luxury. Our highly trained inspectors visit every property we rate, evaluating based on up to 900 objective criteria. Our hotel stays span a minimum of two nights.
We pay our own way. No one can buy a rating; all ratings are earned through our objective inspection process.
Our global team of inspectors are anonymous at all times, so they have the same experience as a typical guest.
While we inspect both service and facility, our Star Rating system emphasizes service because your experience at a hotel, restaurant or spa goes beyond looks — how it makes you feel is what you will remember most.
We created the original Five-Star rating system in 1958, when we were Mobil Travel Guide.
Five-Star
These are outstanding, often iconic properties with virtually flawless service and amazing facilities.
Four-Star

Part of Forbes Travel Guide Five-Star chef Daniel Boulud’s culinary empire, Café Boulud is a favorite among
New Yorkers, fans of the famed toque and guests of The Surrey Hotel, which sits next to the eatery. As one of three outposts, the New York location is an Upper East Side staple. And the French restaurant is as sophisticated as its surroundings.
The bright dining room is what you’d expect from an upscale New York restaurant, though the atmosphere is far from stuffy. On nice days and evenings, opt for a table outside on the sidewalk to watch Upper East Siders stroll through the beautiful neighborhood.
For a nightcap, head into The Surrey for chef Boulud’s art-deco-influenced Bar Pleiades for a rotating list of seasonal cocktails, such as the Last Caress (Chartreuse snow with juniper berries and champagne).
