About Café Boulud
Chef Christopher Zabita runs Daniel Boulud's Palm Beach outpost with French technique and Florida ingredients, earning 2026 OAD North America recognition. The four-pillar menu—classical, seasonal, vegetable-forward, global—delivers consistent execution in a polished Worth Avenue room that stays open past 10 PM during season, a rare late-dining option when most French competitors close early.
