One of Downtown Miami’s most elegant dining destinations, Boulud Sud at the JW Marriott Marquis offers appealing contemporary cuisine prepared by a kitchen that is steeped in the traditions of classic French cooking. A beautifully-designed Florida offshoot of Daniel Boulud’s cooking empire – which includes a number of highly rated New York eateries – Boulud Sud joins Boulud’s popular hotel ventures in London, Singapore, Toronto and Montreal. The restaurant’s gleaming expanses and 18 foot ceilings showcase the energy and style of a truly professional waitstaff and Chef Clark Bowen’s thoughtfully-executed dishes. Originally launched in New York in 2011, this is the second location for this dynamic Mediterranean menu.

“The design of Boulud Sud will bring together the charm of Provence, the warm spice and fragrant herbs of Mediterranean cuisine to pair with the casual elegance of Miami, ” said Daniel Boulud. “It will be the perfect backdrop for our vibrant Mediterranean menu.”

Former db Bistro Sous Chef Clark Bowen took over as Executive Chef in early 2016 following the departure of Jason Pringle who relocated to California. “When he joined the team at db Bistro, it was apparent that he had great potential,” says Chef Daniel Boulud. “We look forward to his continued contributions to our family in his elevated role.” Passionate about his connections to area farms like Swank and Paradise Organics, Bowen will introduce new seasonaly-inspired dishes utilizing fresh Florida seafood, herbs and tropical fruit.

Well-dressed Miami professionals flock to the weeknight happy hour in the lounge area from 5-8pm where drinks and snacks cost just $7. Thursday nights are especially popular when a DJ adds extra energy to the swank surroundings. Bowen’s team prepares a 2-course chef’s lunch menu starting at $27 (dessert is an additional $7). He notes, “Our new menu includes Mediterranean classics like grilled octopus, Arabic lamb flatbread and seared branzino.”
