When April hit, I received an email from Bar Boulud promoting their new spring menu and guess what I saw?
The 'BB' Burger (with Foie Gras) is back!
I revisited Bar Boulud during my Easter weekend. Unfortunately because I'm not eating beef, I was unable to try the new burger, but food was still amaaaazing.
The waiter who introduced the specials was so bubbly and full of smile. He described each dishes so vividly that I could picture the dishes in my head.
I ordered from their fixed price menu as I didn't feel like having any of the food from the a la carte menu.
Starter: Salmon Salad
Main: Stuffed Pork Belly with Barbecue glaze
Dessert: Ginger and Cranberry jam Crumble
Bf went for the Trio of Asparagus (3 way) as starter and the 'BB' Burger as main.
I cannot stress how much I've enjoyed the service. It was attentive and very personable.
My Pork Belly was by far one of the best I've had in London. It took me by surprise. When I read it on the menu, I expected it to be like roast stuffed lamb loin, and even when the pork landed in front of me, it still had not impressed me visually. But as soon as I had one mouthful, the meat and its fat (perfect amount of it) just melted in my mouth. And the clean and crisp Slaw salad on the side was very well matched in terms of flavour and adds a crunchiness to the dish.
The best part is... The prix fixe menu is only at £23 for 3 courses.
