🍷 Toronto’s French Culinary Jewel – Café Boulud Review!

📍 Café Boulud 60 Yorkville Ave, Toronto (Inside Four Seasons Hotel) After dining here with a French native, I can confirm – this Yorkville gem serves the most authentic haute cuisine in the city. Yes, it’s pricey, but every bite justifies the splurge. 🏆 Why It’s Special ✔ Daniel Boulud’s legacy – Michelin-starred chef brings Parisian finesse to TO ✔ Hotel-luxe ambiance – white linens, art deco lighting, discreet service ✔ Duck obsession – rotisserie mastery since 1890s Lyon 🥂 Must-Order Dishes 🦆 Canard Rotisserie ($98) ★★★★★ 72-hour dry-aged duck, prune jus, crisp skin – carved tableside for 4. Worth every penny. 🐙 Coquilles Saint-Jacques ($28) ★★★★★ Seared scallops, brown butter foam, truffle shavings – silky & small but mighty. 🍟 Pommes Frites ($14) ★★★★★ Double-fried in duck fat, rosemary salt – best fries in Toronto (fight me). 🥩 Tartare de Boeuf ($30) ★★★☆☆ Good but not groundbreaking – skip if you’ve had Bar Raval’s version. 💡 Pro Tips ✔ Best for: Anniversaries, impressing parents, truffle lovers ✔ Splurge hack: Weekday lunch (3-course 65) vs. dinner ✔ Dress code: Business casual (no ballcaps, yes little black dresses) 💰 Damage: ~$100-150 per person #TorontoEats #FrenchFineDining #Yorkville
