Beijing to Lose Maison Boulud

The hot news flying around late this weekend was text message whispers of the Chi'en Men 23 institution Maison Boulud's incipient closure. After five years of foie gras and madeleines, Daniel Boulud's Beijing outpost is rumored to be shutting its doors on December 8.

The French fine dining restaurant has seen countless awards and accolades, including from our own Reader Restaurant Awards, as well as just recently celebrating its fifth anniversary in September.

We are awaiting comment from Executive Chef Brian Reimer this afternoon.
