La Goulue Palm Beach

La Goulue is truly one of the finest French restaurants I’ve had the pleasure of dining at. With its iconic reputation in New York City, it brings the same level of sophistication and excellence to Palm Beach. The fish selection is exceptionally fresh and light, but the true highlights of our meal were the delicately prepared frog legs (a rare dish to find executed so perfectly), the French onion soup, and the lamb, which was flawlessly cooked and evenly seasoned. The ambiance strikes the perfect balance: the bar area buzzes with lively energy, while the dining space provides an intimate, elegant atmosphere, ideal for a romantic evening or a business dinner. We also absolutely loved the hospitality! The wine pours are generous and the manager, Xavier, graciously came to our table to personally welcome us. Our waitress, Julissa, was a delight, bubbly, knowledgeable, and incredibly attentive throughout the meal. Their warmth and professionalism truly elevated the dining experience.

Fun and delicious- slightly mature crowd but definitely a must do when in Palm Beach - try the Chilean Sea Bass. The New York vibe is very cool. I believe that’s where they launched. I knew the restaurant well when living in New York and the original restaurant was on Madison Avenue - super fun Saturdays there!

Came back to our favorite authentic French place in Palm Beach. Native French speaking server was the best. Kept the wines flowing, with excellent choices. Fantastic onion soup, oysters and escargot to start with a Rose champagne. The Boar bourguignon was excellent, surprisingly tender and moist for game. The only disappointment was dessert, overcooked tarte tatin was more like apple sauce. But everything else, especially the service was great.

We had a memorable and amazing brunch. The food and service were impeccable. Try the shaved ribeye sandwich special. It is literally one of the best things I’ve ever tasted.

“From Paris to Palm Beach in 0.5 second” is la Goulue; the heart of King Restaurateur Jean Denoyer has dived into that place to re-make French cuisine, Cartesian service, historical details and authentic cuisine hot, and delicious again”

We had an extraordinary dinner and every bit of the service was top notch. The food was perfect, the atmosphere is lovely, the cocktails and sommelier, wine, servers and desserts left nothing wanted. Will definitely come back for the specials and wine tastings, and to host friends. Thank you Xavier and Alisa.

Fun and nice place, amazing service. We had fish dip for appetizer, duck and fish for entree, cream brûlée for dessert. We like the duck and the cream brûlée most. The fish which the waitress recommended was pretty much fail to me, nothing spacial and exciting. The presentation was interesting tho when they peeled the whole top of the puff out and the fish was inside. Over all great place to eat for the premium price.

We dined at La Goulue and found the food to be very good. The red wine by the glass had the perfect temperature (for our preferences) and the white wine was nicely chilled. There could have been more roquefort cheese mixed into our appetizer salad. Our duck, fish and desert were extremely good. Some reviews complained about the crowded atmosphere, however we enjoyed a romantic and quite table outside, and the service was exceptional.
