A Look at the Winterlicious Menu at Cafe Boulud

Offering a good reason to break free from hibernation mode, Winterlicious is now here until February 7 at 200 restaurants across Toronto. For those in the dark, this means come of the city’s best spots are dishing up three-course prix fixe lunch and dinner menus. A go-to in recent years has been Café Boulud in the Four Seasons Hotel.

The stylish French brasserie is under the watch of famed Michelin Star Chef Daniel Boulud and is a regular wining and dining spot of Toronto’s most familiar faces, along with visiting celebrities. It’s a combination of the comforting and thoughtful cuisine and the refined yet understated vibe that makes Café Boulud one of the hottest restaurants in the city, minus that obnoxious “scene-y” vibe some spots fall victim to.

The heartening dishes – inspired by Daniel Boulud’s family meals in Lyon – are especially well received in the dark depths of our particularly frigid Canadian winter. Café Boulud is currently serving both lunch ($33) and dinner ($53) menus for Winterlicious.

From a butternut squash soup and diet-breaking-worthy steak, to the photo-worthy grapefruit sundae, the Winterlicious menu doesn’t disappoint.
