Expect to eat oysters at Bar Boulud. Though not attached to the chef.

The Next Gordon Ramsay? Daniel Boulud Is Coming to London

Where: 66 Knightsbridge, London, United Kingdom, SW1X 7LA

Hey Daniel Boulud, have you never heard of Gordon Ramsay? Or of over-reaching yourself? Not content with dominating most of North America, he’s going to be crossing over the pond and gracing London with his presence in the Mandarin Oriental Hyde Park.

Bar Boulud London will basically be a rip-off take on his New York Bar Boulud, and promises to “bring into play French techniques applied to the finest ingredients.” So pâtés, terrines, cheese and charcuterie with lots of wine. Yum.

The decor sounds interesting – there’s a wine theme, so vaulted ceilings and lots of wood and cork – and Boulud promises to combine ”New York’s energy and spirit, French soul and tradition, and a touch of London style.” Just a touch? Whatever.

BBL will open Spring 2010 and will seat 165. See you at the bar.
