Meet the Team
DANIEL BOULUD
Chef-OwnerRaised on a farm near Lyon, France, Chef Boulud was steeped in French culinary traditions from a young age. His culinary journey began at 15 with an apprenticeship at a two-Michelin-starred restaurant in Lyon, and by 17, he was recognized as a finalist for the Best Culinary Apprentice in France. Since arriving in New York in 1982, Chef Boulud has established himself as one of America’s leading chefs, with his two-Michelin-starred restaurant Daniel and Café Boulud in New York. The Café Boulud brand – now with locations in Palm Beach, Toronto and the Bahamas – is especially meaningful to him, as it honours the original café started by his great-grandparents on their farm in Lyon.
