Bouillabaisse

Yet another restaurant that proves that Dallas Texas has no reason to envy the great restaurants in New York or Chicago, or anywhere else!  Boulevardier in Dallas’ Oak Cliff neighborhood is at the top of the list! 

My eyes and mouth had the superb pleasure of enjoying this place a few Sundays ago during a photo shoot for FD Luxe magazine.  One notable dish, their bouillabaisse, a very sensual offering that requires a pause when it first arrives at your table.  You just stop everything you’re doing and stare at it, mesmerized. My senses in lust over the texture, the flesh, the colors, the smell!  I wanted to shoot it immediately, but I just kept turning it and admiring the view from different angles. (Yes I am still talking about the bouillabaisse)  Clams, mussels, snapper, octopus, prawns, in its broth, oh my, what a broth!  Reminding me of the Paella Valenciana back in my home town of Miami, Florida. The hell with taking a picture of it, I just wanted to eat it!  

But wait, I’m loosing light!  I must deliver this image to FD by Monday morning!  When I was finally able to concentrate, I took at least a dozen different angles, they were all beautiful!  

James Wolfe, my assistant, and I, were finally able to sit down and enjoy this deliciousness, wine and dessert included!  So if you live anywhere in the Dallas metroplex area, you have zero excuse not to try this place, and soon.  

Please, visit the FD Luxe website here to read a bit more about Boulevardier.

Bon appétit!
