Daniel Boulud,  a Michelin two-starred chef known for his signature restaurant Daniel in New York, opened the doors of
Maison Boulud, his seventh restaurant, in June 2008 in the heart of Beijing. The eatery is his first outside the United States.

Maison Boulud is located in one of five buildings in a compound that housed the U.S. Embassy in Beijing from 1903 to 1949,
and which has been converted into an upmarket development called the Legation Quarter, just east of
Tiananmen Square.
The renovation looks lovely, and as you enter the restaurant you come into a large reception hall with an impressive double
staircase at the back, with the reception desk to the left. Further to the left, through a doorway, is the bar area, with lots of
sleek looking tables and chairs and a nice, though smallish, bar.

The summer menu at Maison Boulud, with 428 yuan ($63) for a fixed price set, features dishes such as roasted beet salad
with Chinese black walnut goats' cheese and crispy suckling pig with daikon sauerkraut.

The history of the building is impressive. Former U.S. Secretary of State Henry Kissinger secretly met Chinese premier Zhou
Enlai there in 1971, a year before President Richard Nixon's visit to China.

The compound, built in 1903 by American architect Sid H. Nealy, also houses Japanese restaurant Shiro Matsui, run by
Hong Kong restaurateur David Yeo, and Sadler, with two Michelin-star Italian chef Claudio Sadler.

Also in the compound is a Patek Philippe shop, so if you have money left over after dinner, you can spend it there.

Caramelized Bay Scallops  -  Recipes

by Daniel Boulud  of Daniel

Makes 4 servings
1 head cauliflower (about 1 pound), trimmed, cut into 1-inch florets, stems peeled and cut into 1/2-inch-thick slices
Salt and freshly ground pepper
8 tablespoons (1 stick) unsalted butter
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
2 dozen bay scallops (about 2 pounds)
Freshly squeezed juice of 1 lemon
4 clementines, peeled and segmented
Julienned zest of 4 kumquats
3 tablespoons Sicilian capers, soaked in cold water for 20 minutes, rinsed and drained
1 tablespoon finely chopped flat-leaf parsley leaves

  
1. Bring a medium saucepan of salted water to a boil. Add the cauliflower and cook until tender, 7 to 9 minutes. Drain
well.

2. Put the cauliflower into a food processor and purée until smooth, taking care not to overwork the mixture. Season
with salt and pepper and stir in 4 tablespoons of the butter. Transfer the purée to the top of a double boiler, press a
piece of plastic wrap against the surface of the purée and set aside.

3. Warm the remaining 4 tablespoons butter and the olive oil in a large skillet over high heat. Pat the scallops dry,
season with salt and pepper, and slip them into the pan. Cook, turning the scallops as necessary, until they are golden
on all sides and just cooked through, 4 to 5 minutes. Deglaze the pan with the lemon juice. Add the clementines,
kumquats, zest, capers and parsley to the pan. Season with salt and pepper and cook, while stirring, until heated
through, about 1 minute.

To Serve:
Divide the cauliflower purée among four warm soup plates. Arrange the bay scallops on top and spoon the
clementines-kumquat mixture over. Serve immediately.

Wine Pairing:
Scallops tend to work well with richer Chardonnays and the tropical-fruit flavors in the Hanzell from Sonoma, California,
which also combines nicely with the clementines and kumquats. The capers add a nice touch of acidity at the end that
enlivens the wine.

Maison_Boulud_-_Appetizer_caramelized_sea_scallops_-195RMB
Caramelized sea scallops with cauliflower,
orange glaze, capers and croutons (195
RMB). This dish was comprised of a number
of layers—a florette of cauliflower formed
the base, then came the succulent scallops,
capers and bits of tart mandarin oranges.
The capers stood out among the toppings
because of its sour tinge.   
Maison_Boulud_-_Lamb_with_fig_and_squash_-260RMB
Roasted loin of lamb with sweet pepper
stew, Persian dried figs and summer
squash (260 RMB). The texture of
Boulud’s lamb was anything but—a
cross between foie gras and butter.

布鲁宫法餐厅   - 全新餐膳风格
继Daniel高级法国料理店以及位于纽约上东城、中央公园东面Cafe
Boulud等一系列餐厅在纽约大获成功后,烹饪大师Daniel Boulud携旗下
的餐饮管理公司Dinex集团走进了前门23号的院内。布鲁宫法餐厅
(Maison Boulud à Pekin)将使馆建筑群迷人、悠久的历史氛围及米其
林二星级法式菜肴的美味结合在一起。

布鲁宫不仅可以与Daniel任何一家口碑餐厅相媲美。经典法式烹调工艺与
中式配料融合的碰撞更创造出全新的餐膳风格,带来法式的美食体验。
这里的金枪鱼作为主菜之一非常有名,主菜之后如果你还意犹未尽的
化,还可以品尝一下这里的美味小甜品,样子做的很可爱,味道也不
错。

布鲁宫法餐厅的位置在20世纪初建造的前美国大使馆建筑群中的一个两
层建筑内,位于前门23号项目的中心。总面积约760平方米,分上下两
层,这里可同时容纳 300人用餐,还可举行一些大型的party.与主用餐区
相邻的是一个半私人化的就餐区域,旁边还有一个典雅的小房间,二楼
有三个雅间,为布鲁宫的空间和整体环境平添几分别致。布鲁宫餐厅的
内部设计灵感源自20世纪经典的“大沙龙”(Grand Salons)时期的室内装饰
风格,同时也从万花筒对色彩的折射作用中得到启发,通过特殊材质的
应用来展现餐厅异彩纷呈的精致和优雅。尊崇建筑本身的历史意义,
Gilles et Boissier对其内部的设计也保留了其庄重的风格。设计中的色调
搭配巧妙,与一些独特的装饰完美结合,既传达出对历史、对建筑的尊
重,又散发着一种现代的优雅气息。除了豪华的主餐厅外,布鲁宫还包
括一个独立的休闲酒吧。如果只为放松心情,享受独特体验,而非坐下
来用正餐,这里也会是个不错的选择:盛在精美器皿里的饮品和丰盛的
开胃菜既可作为正餐的序曲,又具备其独立呈现的魅力。休闲吧里提供
高档的葡萄酒、传统的鸡尾酒和地道的法式开胃小菜。这里是餐后休闲
的好去处。
