The rebirth of the Richard DeShantz Restaurant Group’s Poulet Bleu feels like getting an old friend back and we’re ready to celebrate. The original dining room and bar are still warm and bustling, but the old front courtyard is now an additional dining space. You can eat there accompanied by the trickle of a fountain. Classic bistro dishes remain, made with the precision and simplicity required of good French cooking. Order freely from the menu as everything is si bon.

The dish everyone is talking about again, however, is Poulet Bleu’s Chocolate Soufflé. Baked to order for two, it arrives towering and aromatic, its delicate crust giving way to a cloudlike interior. A trio of sauces and ice cream turns each spoonful into a small special event—rich yet surprisingly light, and provide exactly the kind of celebratory finish this reopening deserves.
Pro Tips for Dining at Poulet Bleu
Order the soufflé when you order your meal. Reserve a table well ahead of the day you want to go on their website.
