About Us

Honorary president of the 2007 Montreal High Lights Festival, Chef Boulud has established ties and a longstanding affinity with Montreal. “I'm French by birth but have made North America my home for almost three decades. As a chef and restaurateur, my approach definitely bridges both European and North American traditions. This is not unlike what so appeals to me about Montreal, a city that embodies this mix of cultures perfectly and makes me feel I'm not far from my own home town of Lyon,” he added.

I wanted to love this place. I thought it would have been at the level of a Michelin restaurant, but it fell just short. It was good, but not great. The atmosphere was distorted a bit by the bar. I'm just not used to a Michelin level restaurant having a large bar. It detracted from the atmosphere. There is a bar in the hotel lobby, so this was not necessary. Service was good, but a bit generic. They did pay attention to small details, such as replacing a napkin that fell to the floor with a new one, but I was not blown away by much more. The pacing of our experience felt off, with awkward gaps of time in between some courses. We got the degustation menu. It was decent. Generally at these restaurants, you'll be tempted with a series of amuse bouches that sets the tone for the evening. That part was skipped. So we went right to the menu. The only course that was not good was the sea bream carpaccio. It tasted overly fishy, & the shaved celery was an odd pairing. It got better from there, with the standout being the duck foie gras. The only other miss was the dessert, which was a tasteless chocolate brioche crisp with a lemon sorbet. This was an unfortunate ending to an otherwise good meal. Again, decent meal, but would not be worthy of a star if Michelin were to come to Montreal. I think most courses were good on their own, but they didn't match with each other. It was a bit confusing. I'd prefer the experience to tell a story, or feel more purposeful.View more

Simply wow. We sampled many different dishes starting with an amuse bouche consisting of some caviar & mushroom arancini, both of which were delectable. The fresh complimentary bread offered to the table was also deliciously pillowy & warm. We followed that with the hamachi appetizer. It wasn't my favorite. The black truffle pasta was super rich & indulgent. For mains, I tried the scallops while my boyfriend ordered the duck. My bar for scallops has now been set so high I will be scared to order scallops from anywhere else ever again. They were so so rich & buttery. For dessert we split the chocolate coulant. The dulce de leche ice cream which came with it was the perfect complement for the rich, sweetness of the cake. The staff were also all incredibly friendly. I had a terrific night.View more

Maison Boulud est l'un de ces rares restaurants dont on sort avec une facture imposante, mais aussi avec l'idée d'y retourner le plus rapidement possible. Aucune déception dans l'ensemble du repas; au contraire, on passe d'un délice à l'autre avec le menu sophistiqué & inédit du chef Daniel Boulud. La présentation des plats est impeccable & attirante. L'atmosphère est feutrée & la décoration très réussie. L'arrière du restaurant est aménagé en solarium ouvert à l'année.
Côté service, l'attitude est plus décontractée qu'à l'époque du Café de Paris, sans tomber dans le relâchement ni la familiarité excessive. On sent que le personnel veille attentivement sur chaque table, mais leur présence n'est jamais dérangeante.
Même pour un dîner, il faut disposer d'au moins 90 minutes pour profiter pleinement de l'expérience, particulièrement si vous optez pour le menu à plusieurs services.

Une soirée & une expérience mémorable. La brigade est bien rodée,le voyage commence dès qu'on met un pied à l'intérieur. Belle atmosphère, déco chic mais pas tape-à-l'oeil, éclairages feutrés & recherchés favorisant les tête-à-tête.

La dégustation de champagne est une excellente idée, mais la facture grimpe vite. Il ne faut pas trop s'en faire à cet effet, nous sommes dans un très grand restaurant & on vient ici pour se gâter. Oui les prix sont élevés mais on est dans une classe à part. Bien sûr les attentes sont hautes mais elles ont toutes été dépassées.

De l'entrée au dessert tout est maîtrisé, magnifique, délicieux & d'une fraîcheur impeccable. Le chef Riccardo Michele Bertolino est en plein contrôle de sa cuisine à laquelle il insuffle toutes ces racines Méditerranéennes, accents sublimes & parfaits, chaque plat est un tableau en soi, un pur bonheur.

Haute Cuisine prices without the haute cuisine. We were expecting more from Maison Boulud in Montreal’s Ritz Carlton Hotel, & while some aspects were great, others were disappointing.

Positive points: beautiful restaurant with sumptuous seating, attractive garden-side seating, snob-appeal atmosphere.

Negative points:
Very high prices, even at lunch – two courses $35, three courses $42, with very limited choice. The online table d’hote menu is not updated when the menu changes, so we had no idea what was on offer, until we showed up.
Regular menu items at lunch vary from about $29-$43 for main courses, & $17-$24 for entrees, i.e. $46-$67 for two courses.

Very high wine & bar prices: cheapest glass of wine is $13, then it jumps to $17-$25 for a 5 oz. glass. Martinis & cocktails are $15-$24, more for better brands. We were astounded that they did not have Grey Goose available, even though it’s specified in one of their cocktails. Bottled beer is $9, regardless of whether it is domestic or imported ($9 for a Molson Export or a Stella Artois? This makes no sense at all!)

We don’t mind the prices as long as the food quality matches. Unfortunately, Maison Boulud was not haute cuisine. We’ve had equal or better food at several of the city’s trendy restaurants & bistros, at lower prices, so we were disappointed that Maison Boulud did not deliver the “wow” factor. Ingredients seemed to be of above average quality, but more expertise is needed in the kitchen. The food was good, but not great, especially at these prices. Generally speaking, the food was bland.
The bread basket was not delicious either: very salty focaccia, & rather ordinary baguette. Some say that you can determine the quality of a restaurant by the quality of its bread basket.

Cutlery is placed directly on re-usable woven placemats, which may seem attractive, until you see the staff wiping the placemats with a wet rag & then placing new cutlery for the next client. Not very sanitary. Our waiter even placed some cutlery directly on the table.

Several of the cooks in the open kitchen seemed to not be wearing hats or hairnets, which is not legal in this city.

Service was perfunctory, not as polished as one would expect at the Ritz Carlton, & not exceedingly friendly. Not even a thank you for a generous tip!

Our waiter spoke very little English, which was also surprising in a hotel catering to many businessmen & wealthy visitors from other parts of Canada & abroad.

Plats & sélections représentatifs de la qualité des restaurants Boulud. Le service par contre, pourrait s'avérer un tantinet moins convivial & plus chic.
Il manque l'impression du « Le client est important»...
Nous sommes loin de Jean-Georges.....

I had the pleasure of dining here for dinner & it was everything I hoped it would be. The service was wonderful, very professional yet the waitress was able to joke with us none the less. The food was amazing. I started with the Duo de Saumon, then the Venison loin & finished with the Chocolat Fondant. All of it was outstanding. My only criticism was the decor, it was a bit bright for my liking at dinner time & honestly overall a bit underwhelming. However the service & food greatly made up for it.

The duo de boeuf was amazing & the chocolat coulant heavenly! Might be the best dessert we've had in a long time!

Not to mention the surroundings are pretty swanky!

Je suis étonnée du nombre de commentaires plutôt négatifs pour ce restaurant par des personnes qui disent tout même vouloir y retourner...

J'aimerai partager mon expérience pour que le client ne se trompe pas. Pas de cuisine bistro ou au contraire d'endroit très sélectif. Je pense que tout le monde peut s'y retrouver. Nous avons eu le plaisir de goûter le brunch proposé par Maison Boulud hier en famille avec une petite fille. Nous avons été particulièrement bien accueilli, tous les trois. Le service est à la hauteur! Grande gentillesse & disponibilité des serveurs liées à l'efficacité!
La salle est par ailleurs chaleureuse & très contemporaine. Nous avons mangé à proximité des cuisines & quel spectacle que de voir tous ces cuisiniers au travail qui sont, cela se voit, très motivés & passionnés. La salle propose également une véranda & une terrasse tellement agréable!
Pour les assiettes, je retrouve le raffinement des grands restaurants que nous avons déjà cotoyés. Des produits frais, bien assaisonnés & à leur juste cuisson. Le respect du produit est au rendez-vous. Je ne pourrai que vous recommander le pain perdu & sa compote de rhubarbe, le boeuf braisé ou l'excellent dessert de fraise avec son sorbet au yahourt de chèvre. Nous avons terminé notre brunch avec les madeleines tièdes à la fleur d'oranger qui sont un délice !

Un brunch qui comprend deux plats copieux de cette qualité, une boisson chaude & un jus de fruit donne envie d'y retourner tous les dimanches! & invite à découvrir le reste de la carte, peut-être pour une ambiance plus romantique en soirée....?

J'en profite pour féliciter le chef exécutif Riccardo Bertolino & toute son équipe de cuisiniers !
