Pricey brunch and more food

June 9th, 2014 at 05:37 pm

We usually have one expensive(over $100) brunch once in 2-3 month. This time we tried Boulud Sud.
I've been to other Boulud's, and this one has a pre fix menu for $32 pp for an appetizer, an entree and a dessert, which makes it an ok value. The reason it the bill went to $140 (with tax and tip) is because we ordered a bottle of wine. In places like that courses come slowly, and you need the wine to make the wait more fun.

Appetizers:




Mains:


Black ink squid pasta was quite good.





Desserts:





The food was reasonably solid, but not anything I'll dream about. So I won't go back any time soon, but overall it was as expected - good, just the value not quite there for me. But... you won't know until you try. The search for perfect brunch place continues.

Afterwords, DH went to an Apple store to fix his screen, it took over an hour ($160) and I was drunk, so I went for some coffee to Beard Papa and ended up with another pastry - green tea custard cream filled Paris Breast.



Picked up some arctic char in Citarella ($26) for fish tacos tomorrow, and we headed home to spend more time lounging by the pool before the weekend was over.

    I will admit to drooling over your food pictures. Smile I am not a foodie, nor will I pretend to be. Given my reality is picky eaters and a slimmer budget. But some of this stuff looks so tempting Smile Please keep sharing.

    I'm envious of the desserts, for sure.

    I am also living vicariously through your dining adventures! (And your photography is great, by the way). I rarely eat out for several reasons (budget and dietary restrictions make it not very fun). We have wonderful restaurants here, but we always end up eating in the same few places.

    Totally not what I think of when I think of brunch food, but then your dining options are kind of unlimited where you live.
