Café Boulud Palm Beach Launches La Pique-Nique Unique | Gourmet Picnic Basket Experience
Palm Beach summers move at their own pace: long mornings on the sand, lazy afternoons poolside, sunset strolls along the water. Starting July 13, Café Boulud Palm Beach is giving that pace a worthy companion: La Pique-Nique Unique, a chef-curated picnic basket that brings the restaurant’s refined touch wherever the day happens to lead.
It begins at Café Boulud, set within the storied Brazilian Court Hotel, where guests arrive to collect their Café Boulud branded basket, packed and ready to travel. Inside is a thoughtful spread of picnic-ready fare: charcuterie and cheeses, seasonal salads, house-made sandwiches, sweet treats, and a chilled bottle of wine or Champagne, all prepared by the Café Boulud team and arranged for easy enjoyment wherever the guest decides to set the scene, no cooking, no packing, no planning, just a basket to pick up and a direction to head in, carrying the restaurant’s signature hospitality along for the ride.
The picnic for two – priced at $150 – opens with a choice between a charcuterie selection or a cheese and fruit plate, followed by a spring salad or chilled gazpacho verde, and a turkey club or pastrami sandwich made in-house, with house-made chips and cookies rounding things out alongside a half bottle of Laurent-Perrier Brut Champagne or Canard-Duchêne Brut Rosé to keep the afternoon properly festive.
For larger gatherings, the picnic for four – $250 – brings both the charcuterie and cheese and fruit plate to the table, along with a choice of salad, a choice of sandwich, and the same chips and cookies, plus a full bottle pulled from a curated list that includes a 2022 Sancerre from Domaine Foucher Lebrun, Au Bon Climat’s Cuvée Daniel Chardonnay, an Evesham Wood Pinot Noir, a Provençal rosé from Peyrassol, and Tribaut Schloesser’s Brut Origine Champagne, among other selections.
Those looking to build out the spread further can add à la carte extras, Daniel’s smoked salmon, wild-caught jumbo shrimp, a baby beet salad, or the Café Cobb, each $30 and available as a substitution, with Ossetra caviar offered at market price for the ultimate summer indulgence.
La Pique-Nique Unique is built for a particular kind of Palm Beach day, one that is unhurried, a little indulgent, and ready to go wherever the afternoon leads. It carries the same attention to detail that defines the restaurant itself, no matter where the day ends up. La Pique-Nique Unique is available by advance reservation through October 31, 2026.
