Great layout of the restaurant. The place looks good and You should too! The bathroom area/ wine cellar is a nice touch. Anything and everything on the menu is kickass. Those desserts are to die for.
Daniel BouludJuly 30, 2014
Perfect spot for a tasty Mediterranean meal. My favorites include the mezze, octopus and tagine. Save room for dessert, the grapefruit givré is one of the best desserts in New York!

Boulud Sud is a rare Southern European spot to remember that the Mediterranean extends to North Africa and the Levant, serves great harira (Moroccan lentil soup) and chicken tagine. Read more

The lamb burger is a very rich and tasty choice for brunch. Get the sunny side egg with it if you dare. The burger quickly turns into a mess if you do. A delicious, delicious mess.

Been twice now, both were during restaurant week. Amazing food & service. Truly worth the prices & even better if grab a booking during restaurant week. Must get the mocha cube for dessert.

Fantastic atmosphere. Great value for money given how much food you get. And very attentive service. Only downside is that lots of waiters by the kitchen which spoils the view a bit.
Village VoiceAugust 15, 2014
The most wonderful section on the menu may just be the desserts, which include a grapefruit stuffed with citrus ice and all sorts of other goodies, capped with caramel. Read more

So delicious and an amazing restaurant week find bc they include their most popular dishes (for a few extra bucks). The octopus was seriously life changing

This is fantastic restaurant. The room itself is beautiful. Service & Food are awesome. Mediterranean menu at its highest regard. This is Fine Dinning restaurant that is not stuffy what so ever. Wine

Of the three Daniel Boulud restaurants around the corner, this is the best. Try the beautiful ratatouille with a poached egg on top and make sure to save room for dessert (seriously, do it).

Lunch, dinner or just drinks is great. Room is pretty w clean lines. Sit at the bar, more fun than a table or sit outside. Moroccan chicken tagine and a glass of prosecco.

A solid choice for date night on the UWS, or a meal before a show at Lincoln Center. Even the most exotic dishes like the zaatar baked cod have that signature Boulud touch. [Eater 38 Member]

Amazing Mediterranean restaurant. I have been here a few times for both Dinner and Lunch and don’t miss on any visit to NYC. Wine list is also fantastic.
Alp OzcelikMay 12, 2014
Great presentation, tasty food; poor service. Waited so long between each course! But DEFIBITELY get the crab&urchin tartine and the linguini. Paella ok (scallops great!) grapefruit givree AMAZING!

Mom: “Let’s come back for brunch every Sunday! I’ll order the exact same thing.” Me: “I’m game. We’ll sit by the window and read the morning paper.”

Dipping oil and sauce for the bread was delicious! Loved my octopus starter, the artichoke side, pumpkin ravioli and grapefruit dessert. Not so crazy about the swordfish.
The Food SlutsAugust 7, 2012
Excellent Mediterranean cooking. Upscale, so wear a button down shirt. A lot of theater goers. Moderately expensive. We loved the Persian spiced day boat scallops ($32). Read more
Monika McMahonJune 19, 2016
Oh my goodness, everything here was fantastic. They have gluten free options to pair with the hummus and the salt baked fish for two is a must!
Garrison PriceJune 29, 2016
Awesome ever changing menu. Sit at the bar and hang with the tenders. Order the crudo du jour and the pasta du jour, you will not be disappointed!
Tash ConcepcionAugust 9, 2014
Try the Pimenton Spiced Steak and Eggs. It's phenomenal. Also good: Peekytoe Crab Tartine and the Lebanese "Awamat" Doughnuts. Save some of the doughnuts for dessert though!
The Corcoran GroupNovember 1, 2011
If you ate a meal that changed your life, you probably had it here. Be blown away by the Octopus a la Plancha and the Lamb Loin. Go early for the Pre-Theater menu.

Finishing off your meal with a grapefruit dessert is a must - you really can't say you've eaten here until you've tried it!
TOWN&COUNTRYFebruary 28, 2012
Specializing in lamb and grilled whole fish, this luncheon spot sits next to Épicerie Boulud, a great spot for all of your breads, soups, and charcuterie, that turns into an oyster bar come nightfall.
Nancy AckenhausenMay 1, 2015
Come after a Lincoln Center performance, snag a seat at the bar (no reservations req'd) and get the trio of house made ice creams. Rose is amazing!
Wayne YapJanuary 20, 2017
Great Mediterranean meals. Flavored just right. The Brussels sprouts were salted and roasted perfectly.
Sameepa ShettyJanuary 11, 2015
Best place to dine on the upper west. Brunch or dinner,make sure to get the bronzino & Mediterranean platter. A visit to chef Sud's kitchen is always blissful.
Karen YuenJanuary 3, 2016
The stuffed sole special was delicious, but the sides fell below expectations. The cauliflower was way over salted and we didn't realize that the "wild mushrooms" is actually a creamy farro risotto...
Harumi UJuly 25, 2015
Every dish I tried to date has their own take and full flavor though very light and refreshing. Just one thing - half of restaurant week menu us supplementary price

Nice place for a pre performance dinner. Waitress had good wine knowledge. Roasted cauliflower really special. Fun crowd. Mixed age. Lively

Try the Grapefruit Givré, stuffed with rose-scented loukoum and topped with flossy halvah cotton candy and black-and-white sesame tuile. It’s one of our #100best dishes and drinks of 2011. Read more

Fantastic French cuisine. The terraces and the service is as good as the food ! Highly recommended for a nice moment

Everything is so flavorful! Love the octopus and lamb flatbread. Sit outside and become part of this great neighborhood

If you’ve never tried Octopus before-let this be your first taste. The Octopus a la Plancha served w/ marcona almonds, arugula and jervez vinegar is perfectly balanced in both taste + texture
Halstead PropertyJuly 10, 2013
Watch out - this cooked Octopus a La Plancha will take you out of your world. The delicate marcona almonds, arugula, and jerez vinegar made from Sherry wine goes wonderfully with the octopus’ texture
Beth Fidler RakinMay 27, 2016
From service - variety and quality this restaurant is stellar and understand the importance of meeting a clients expectations. It was a beautiful experience
Zach AaronsDecember 29, 2011
Delicious prix fixe dinner if you go early. Great Greek and Middle Eastern food. Octopus, cod, and lamb are all excellent, as is the wine list. (4 of 4 petals via Fondu) Read more

Boulud Sud is Daniel Boulud's surprising and fresh take on pan-Mediterranean food, of a high enough quality to feel like an occasion but not as formal as some of Boulud's other establishments. Read more

Don't miss the Mediterranean Greek-Yogurt Parfaits loaded with whole-wheat couscous, dried apricots, toasted pistachios and pomegranate seeds. You can even recreate at home: http://bit.ly/ydglew
Rodrigo Narciso G da SilvaJanuary 23, 2016
This place was good but not outstanding in general. I had the ricotta ravioli with truffles. And the pistachio pavlova. Both very good but not life changing.

Try octopus with marcona almonds to start and a chicken tagine packed with flavor for a main. No meal here is complete without one of Ghaya F. Oliveira's magical desserts. Read more

Daniel Boulud's latest restaurant is in a perfect location for a pre-theatre meal and they happen to have an aptly named menu just for that which is where you get the most for your money at $55.
Harriet TaylorJanuary 9, 2014
Honeycomb and lavender infused gin with lemon. This cocktail is to die for!

Decadent mediterranean menu with elegance you would expect! Service is excellent and the dishes are flavorful and textured with every bite. Try the chicken tagine!
Nenzo CruzSeptember 26, 2016
Great octopus aka plancha ! But everything I have tried here so far has always been good.
SalmaJuly 3, 2011
Everything is delicious. I must say all the Mediterranean flavors are rather authentic. Service mistakes here and there, but a great value for money in NYC.

Daniel’s homage to Mediterranean cuisine is the great Frenchman’s most vibrant new establishment in years. One of Adam Platt's best new restaurants for 2012!
Village VoiceNovember 14, 2011
Winner of Best French (South) in the Village Voice 2011 Best Of issue! This is the spot for ratatouille - make sure to get the sunnyside egg on top.

The gelato de creama with truffles is amazing - off the menu - great call.
