The view from the Tasting Table
Introducing Bar Boulud
Bar Boulud Opens
Tuesday, January 8, 2008
He charmed you with fine dining at Daniel. Intrigued you with luxe burgers at DB Bistro Moderne and served you soigné French-American fare at Café Boulud. So what does superstar chef Daniel Boulud have on tap for the New Year? We know you know the answer: introducing Bar Boulud, Daniel’s ultra-refined wine bar and bistro.
Located across the street from Lincoln Center, Bar Boulud is a celebration of the art of French cooking and drinking. Begin by getting to know the wines of Daniel’s favorite French regions, Burgundy and Rhône Valley, as well as their “cousins” (wines blended from pinot noir, syrah, grenache, chardonnay and viognier grapes but made in California, New Zealand, Australia, and Chile). Wine connoisseurs will also appreciate the subtle notes, like the wine stain-inspired artwork, the walk-through wine cellar on the lower level, and the not-so-subtle notes, like the grand Tasting Table in the back of the restaurant.
And since good food and good wine go hand-in-hand, indulge in fare from the full bistro menu (view the menu). Consider hearty, winter staples like Navarin Au Romarin, lamb stew with vegetables, and Boeuf Aux Carottes, braised flatiron steak with carrot mousseline. There’s also a charcuterie bar, a stunning visual presentation of the restaurant’s excellent selection of artisanal cheeses, signature terrines and pâtés.
Superb French food and wine, and that certain je ne sais quoi - now on the Upper West Side.
Bar Boulud opens for dinner tonight.
