Many guests praise the restaurant for its refined French cuisine, exceptional culinary craftsmanship, and attentive, professional service that consistently enhances special occasions.

Despite these occasional critiques, the restaurant remains a highly recommended spot for those seeking a polished and upscale culinary experience in a classic setting.
Super beau restaurant. J'y suis allé pour ma fête avec ma famille & l'expérience a été excellente du début à la fin. Le service est incroyable… attentionné, professionnel & chaleureux. La nourriture est délicieuse & la carte des vins est vraiment impressionnante, avec un très beau choix.
Par contre, les prix sont assez élevés, surtout pour les desserts. Honnêtement, je les ai trouvés décevants considérant le prix demandé. À ce tarif-là, je m'attendais à quelque chose de plus mémorable & raffiné. Définitivement, soit les prix des desserts devraient être revus, soit leur qualité devrait être améliorée.
Malgré ce point, ça demeure une très belle adresse pour une occasion spéciale.
It was an extremely lovely experience with exceptional service. I appreciated very much the recommendation of wines & drinks, the knowledge of the waiter in explaining to us the dishes, & the excellent quality of the meal. The quebec lamb melted in my mouth despite being cooked to the recommended medium level, & my wife thoroughly enjoyed her veal. The dessert was also decadent, & ended our evening very nicely. The anniversary surprise was also a super nice touch!
Dining at this acclaimed restaurant was an incredible experience. The service was top-notch, adhering to perfect table etiquette from the warm greeting at the entrance to the personalized attention from the waitstaff. The food was astonishing & beautifully plated, perfectly complemented by an exquisite wine selection & cocktails. For my wife's special occasion, she was even treated to a complimentary dessert that made the evening truly memorable.

I sat at the bar & had a really pleasant conversation with the bartender, which added to the experience. The atmosphere is upscale, so dress nicely-it's definitely more of a'treat yourself' kind of spot.
The restaurant has a beautiful terrace & is perfect for all kinds of occasions, whether it's closing business deals, dining with family, or going out with friends. They also have tables that accommodate larger groups.
The ingredients are top-notch, & it shows in every dish.
They're so accommodating. They made me a vegan dish (mushroom risotto) that was not on the menu. & even proposed a vegan sorbet that was not on the menu, as a dessert.
This restaurant is pricey so expect to pay 100$ per person.
Toujours une belle ambiance & un service impeccable, mais déçue par le brunch. Les plats sont d'un niveau nettement inférieur à la carte du midi. Peu originaux & manquant d'accompagnement. La caille frite posée sur une gaufre était particulièrement insipide & sèche. Les desserts, par contre, demeurent excellents.
We really enjoyed the brunch menu here. What we appreciated most was how beautifully each component was executed. The techniques were handled with precision & restraint, yet the complexity still came through in every element of the dish. Nothing felt loud or flashy; instead, there was a quiet refinement achieved through thoughtful balance & depth of flavour, along with a pleasing interplay of textures that unfolded as you continued to savour each bite. It felt like a well-judged balance between French classics & contemporary reinterpretation.
We ordered the Garlic Gratiné Snails (Escargot), Salmon Tartare, Pulled Pork Sandwich, Icelandic Cod, & the Chocolate Entremet Cake. The Escargot & Icelandic Cod were well executed. The chocolate cake was a real highlight & easily one of the best desserts we have had in a while. The ambience was cozy yet elegant, which complemented the food beautifully. We would highly recommend this place.

Amazing decor & set up, chairs: sooo comfortable, you don't want to leave!
The service: one of the best!! You lift an eye & someone comes to see you. We were four, Sunday brunch in December 2025, for an anniversary. They even brought a special treat for the special guest!
Food: from automn salad, fish filet with mullet caviar ( so good! ), lamb from the silver caddy ( old school, but works!), & dessert ( pain perdu ) . Everything was succulent! Atmosphere is classy without being too fancy. Sitting in the verrière is the best spot: it is grand!
L'endroit est magnifique! Les tables & chaises sont grandes & tellement confortables! Le service est excellent, très attentif. C'était un brunch du dimanche, pour un anniversaire. La fêtée a même eu droit à des petites madeleines encore tièdes ( wow!)
La bouffe: les salades, filet de poisson & son caviar de mulet ( délicieux!), rôti d'agneau servi sur plateau d'argent ( on se sent spécial!) & dessert ( pain perdu ). Tout était absolument délicieux!
Les tables dans la verrière sont le meilleur choix, d'une grandeur exceptionnelle!

Thank you for a wonderful meal & visit to your Maison Boulud restaurant! We thoroughly enjoyed the meal to celebrate a birth, as well as a recent birthday. It was a special celebration with my mother who is well into her 90's. We were given the royal treatment by the Maison Boulud staff!
Valet parking was provided upon arrival & departure. Coat checks were also provided. This was a pleasant addition to our visit to the restaurant.
On our first visit, Joe was our main server & was attentive, caring & helpful. Nadine & Pamela also assisted in serving. We enjoyed the following menu items: Tartare de Saumon & Onglet de Boeuf. For dessert we enjoyed the Gateau Carotte & the Prune & Canneberge along with a pot of warm tea.
On our second visit, Adil was our main server, along with Émile & Joe. From start to finish (our arrival to our departure), the staff was friendly, helpful, attentive & caring!! 👍❤?🥰
A special thanks to your amazing team:

Merci pour ce merveilleux repas & cette belle visite à votre restaurant, Maison Boulud ! Nous avons beaucoup apprécié ce moment, qui célébrait à la fois une naissance & un anniversaire récent. Ce fut une célébration spéciale en compagnie de ma mère, qui a largement dépassé les 90 ans. L'équipe de la Maison Boulud nous a traités comme des rois!
Un service de voiturier était assuré à l'arrivée & au départ. Des vestiaires étaient également à disposition, ce qui a agréablement complété notre visite.
Lors de notre première venue, Joe était notre serveur principal. Il s'est montré attentif, prévenant & serviable. Nadine & Pamela ont également participé au service. Nous avons dégusté les plats suivants : le tartare de saumon & l'onglet de boeuf. Pour le dessert, nous avons savouré le gâteau à la carotte ainsi que le dessert prune & canneberge, accompagnés d'une théière de thé chaud.
Lors de notre deuxième visite, Adil était notre serveur principal, aux côtés d'Émile & Joe. Du début à la fin (de notre arrivée à notre départ), le personnel s'est montré amical, serviable, attentif & prévenant !! 👍❤?🥰
Un merci tout particulier à votre formidable équipe:

Disappointed by this brunch experience- the waiter kept bringing food & drinks which would not belong to our table several times, long wait for the main dish, the'tiramisu' dessert has nothing in common with the actual tiramisu - overall I went to dine with great excitement & expectations but I have been entirely disappointed this time. I truly hope things will change for the best.
We were transported back in time to when my husband was here when he was much younger- the maitre d fit us in the day we called & we had the best table in the house. Y the duck pond. Gatten didn't miss a beat- from a fantastic food gras to our lobster Caesar & lobster black truffle risotto /. We were too full for dessert but left with hot Madeline's.. you know you are in a 5star restaurant when bread is incredible & we knew it the moment he brought the bread to us
