| - Went to Cafe Boulud for Summerlicious and this is my first time dining in this restaurant. It is located inside the Four Seasons Hotel and I like the fact that there is a Green P parking garage right across the hotel so there is no worries for finding parking.
As I walked to the restaurant located on the 2nd floor via the hotel hallway, I find all the decors are very modern and stylish. We were there early and were being seated immediately.
We ordered the Crispy Duck Egg as an extra appetizer from the regular menu as I have seen lots of good review about this. The duck egg is nicely presented and tastes pretty good but I wasn't blown away by it.
From the Summerlicious menu, we ordered the Albacore Tuna Tartar, Terrine of Lamb Leg, Cumbrae Beef Brisket, B.C Pink Salmon, Strawberry & Rhubarb Sundae, Caramel Chocolate & Mango Sundae and Chocolate Tarte. Most of the dishes are good but nothing to rave about.
However, I am very impressed with the Cumbrae Beef Brisket. Initially I though the texture of the beef was a bit dry, but as I started to combine the beef brisket slices with the grilled watermelon. kimchi and black sesame sauce on the plate, the magic begin to play. For this dish, I have to give it a 4 star.
