Bar Boulud (Knightsbridge)

• From being French I really appreciate the place and it reminds me my childhood but the prices are definitely to expensive
• After your diner you can have a cocktail at the bar of the Mandarin Oriental which is one of the most beautiful and classy Hotel in Town
• I went there with my boyfriend
• I must admit that the bill was hard to swallow
• A stylish service is activated with rigor
• Stewed beef cheek with onion and pistachios pie quail with Foie Gras
• Located in the basement of the Mandarin Oriental Hotel in Knightsbridge is Daniel Boulud's London outpost Bar Boulud
• It's amazing to think that was over 18 months ago and I am only now returning
• This visit was for lunch on a Saturday and we experienced a much less frantic environment than I remember
• The ambience was actually very relaxing
• Followed by a very tender lamb shoulder dish served with baby carrots
• Almonds and apricots and finished with a quite stunning chestnut sable &
• Mousse covered in a lovely shiny chocolate glaze served with some light and refreshing pear sorbet
• My companions were visiting Bar Boulud for the first time and quite rightly ordered the burgers
• The best burgers in London was the general consensus there great fries too
• My intentions for having a reasonably priced lunch were dashed by the pricey but delicious cocktails
• With lovely starter sized bar food (the lobster roll is green and perhaps not that great
• The tuna tartare is spoon sized and delicious
• Perfect for a sit down meal of BURGERS (love the Piggie and the very French fries) and a proper bistro feast with perfectly grilled sole
• Followed by two desserts each highly recommend the raspberry souffle with pistachio gelato
• Does what it says on the can food is high quality and spot on
• The desserts are suprisingly good
• Without a doubt one of best mid range / high end dining establishments in this neck of the woods
• After much deliberating I chose to commence with the Duo De Crabe
• The charming and knowledgeable sommelier recommended a peculiarly interesting wine from an Oregon vintner that is a blend of nine varietals
• I was surprised with sunflowers and taken to Bar Boulud for a celebration over a perfect hot dog
• The restaurant was completely booked and buzzing with men sipping whisky in designer suits and elegant women dining dressed to the nines
• We quickly decided that this was going to be a filthy celebration of maximum caloric intake
• A spicy lamb merguez served on a brioche bun with mint yoghurt and pepper stew
• The Tunisienne had great flavour from the mint yoghurt with a little bit of kick from the pepper stew
• The award winning Pigge is a beef patty topped with bbq pulled pork
• The texture from the cheddar melted on top of the top of the bun is what I would like to call the cherry on top
• The generous serving of foie was creamy and added a nice
• The beef patty was overcooked
• Flourless sponge with hot chocolate sauce and mint chocolate ice cream
• The chocolate disc on top was melted by a hot chocolate sauce poured over the top
• The described flourless sponge was apparently one bite full hiding at the bottom which I wasn&rsquo
• Next to try was an assortment of macarons
• The presentation was simple but beautiful in a small glass
• The mousse was creamy and sweet and contrasted perfectly with the cold
• The food at Bar Boulud was good and I&rsquo
• The service was great with knowledgable
• Friendly staff that were attentive and happy to rectify the burger mishap
• I ordered the deluxe burger with foie gras and truffle which doesn't really work
• The selection of drinks on offer are alienating in price and the environment was a bit too upmarket which detracts from what a burger experience should be
• The Yankee burger at Boulud is built around a classic garnish of iceberg lettuce
• The kitchen took it upon themselves to portion our burgers as we were sharing all four nice idea but please don't touch my burger) in halves alongside the Frenchie (see below)
• A second bite pulled the entire remaining tomato out of the burger and was left dangling down my chin
• Comes complete with confit pork belly
• It was topped with a tomato compote
• This burger was perfectly pink in the middle
• Even the beef was just texture
• Everything else is lost in an fiery nasal explosion
• The Piggie is yet another strong performer on paper
• The beef patty is topped with BBQ pulled pork
• The pulled pork is flakey and melty and the chilli mayo and 'slaw add great depth to the flavours

• Unfortunately after all the expectation comes the disheartening let down these burgers were just average
• It's not that they were very bad but it's just that the burger game in London has gone to a level which is unprecedented and sadly
• These burgers would've been revolutionary cooked perfectly medium raw with some gourmet toppings on a fancy bun but what used to set these burgers apart has now become the norm and certain things

• It often appears on a number of best burger in London lists so obviously we were here for the burgers
• The service here was excellent they couldn't do enough for you
• We were given some delicious warm french bread when we sat down which was replaced when we had finished
• When the burgers arrived and we cut into them we realised they were more medium well before we had even said anything a waiter was over fussing &
• When the burgers arrived for the second time they were perfectly cooked
• My cheeseburger was good but a little dry
• My other halfs was more complimentary about his BB burger it's luxury affair foie gras
• Truffle mayo very rich but he was very impressed
• It is not cheap here are two burgers
• Cool place is your in the area but I wouldn't make a special trip
• We sat at the bar for drinks and shared a burger with pulled pork
