Café Boulud is a French restaurant located at 100 East 63rd Street on the Upper East Side in Manhattan, in New York City. It is owned by French celebrity chef and restaurateur Daniel Boulud. Boulud is New York City's longest-tenured four-star chef.
The restaurant opened in 1998 at 20 East 76th Street (between Fifth Avenue and Madison Avenue), inside the Surrey Hotel. It closed in 2021 during the COVID-19 pandemic and reopened in 2023 at 100 East 63rd Street after a renovation from Jeffrey Beers International. Upon reopening, Boulud brought Head Chef Romain Paumier and Pastry Chef Katalina Diaz over from his first restaurant, Daniel. It is named for a restaurant just outside Lyon, France, that was once owned by Boulud's family. In the summer, the restaurant's original location had terrace tables.
Café Boulud’s menu was inspired by Daniel Boulud’s four culinary muses: La Tradition, classic French cuisine; La Saison, seasonal delicacies; Le Potager, the vegetable garden; and Le Voyage, flavors of world cuisines.
