Boulevard in Croydon

The food was reasonable although portions quite modest We found the service indifferent and a little grumpy. Very nice decor and it was warm this time.

Great place to eat on Southend. Excellent staff and a fantastic vibe. It's cosy and the food is tasty. Service is excellent. They also have Elvis down there singing while you have fun eating and drinking, and ABBA! ✌🏻🖖🏻👍🏻

Very pleasant staff. Food excellent.

Consistent quality in food. Potatoes are somehow out of this world! Good set menu deals and decent portions.

A great local restaurant with a classic menu. Something for everyone with fresh, tasty food and lovely portions. Great wine list and service too. Great value for money and highly recommended.

I went in to use the toilet. I understand that companies have their own policy about customers only but I am pregnant and had a test on me that I took this morning and the manager refused me. I had a 20 minute walk to work that I nearly wet myself from I went before I left home too. But to refuse a pregnant women with physical evidence is just horrible. His words “I’m fed up I have that nearly 20 times a day”. I offered him physical evidence. Don’t know about the good but the service is horrible. Both the manager and the lady behind the bar was very rude and horrible towards me.

I love this place. We went there for a Sunday roast, which had the best roast potatoes I've eaten in a while. Stepping in is like moving to a different time and place, and staff is so lovely. Thanks for a chilled Sunday!

Had the roast chicken dinner was lovely highly recommend

Always come back here, food is always lovely and reasonably priced (especially their Monday steak deal ) staff are friendly and welcoming.

We’ve been coming to The Boulevard for years and it has never disappointed! The food is always amazing and so reasonable. The service is also wonderful. Great restaurant.

Lovely place Service is amazing!

My partner and I eat here on a regular basis! The owner and staff are lovely and the food is great. Our favourite restaurant.

We were in for early evening and there was only one other couple in the restaurant which dulled the atmosphere though the ambience was great, on Friday and Saturday when they have live music I'd bet the atmosphere goes up to 6 stars. The food was excellent and the service perfect. We will definitely be going back. Maybe we'll check out the live music.

Always good. Had calamari to start and they always get it spot on. Steak is always cooked perfectly. Really good value.

Excellent food and service very friendly atmosphere would eat here again.

Amazing restaurant - food is fabulous, staff are friendly & very attentive. We've been coming here for years - we wouldn't go anywhere else.

We've been going here for a number of years now and have never been disappointed with the food or the service. If you want a place that sells good food, good portions without paying stupid money, this is the place for you, sometimes there is live entertainment in the evenings aswell. Treat yourselves and check it out!

Pleasant service, nice choice of starters and mains to select from all at reasonable prices. Starter of white bait was lovely as was the halloummi. Steak was cooked nice with a very good peppercorn sauce. Party of 9 and we all enjoyed the evening

Lovely dinner and very friendly service

Very good food , the staff very welcome and respectful. A place to visit more and more

Fantastic food and drinks 🍸 and service is amazing always ends up been a fun night with amazing people

Food was solid and plenty of it, too! Service was fine, as well. We got a drink on the house at the end, which was great - very European. The tables were weirdly thin, not a lot of space to put a bag, etc. Also, the chairs were not super comfy. The toilet art was a bit pervy, as well, which I found odd. Otherwise, though, a nice meal!

great place with very nice service and good food !

Boulevard is a fantastic local restaurant that is a part of the DNA of our South Croydon 'Village'. The owner is kind and generous, and his front and back of house colleagues are super warm and friendly. The food is FANTASTIC, and all this at great prices. Leave the chain restaurants and coffee shops behind and support your local businesses. You won't regret it 👍🏼

Lovely Sunday roast. Would like to come for the music night next time!

Had a superb meal. Relaxed environment. Good service. Highly recommended!!

Really nice food, good value and service. Have always had a decent meal here.

Had a lovely evening. Good delicious service very good pleasant atmosphere

Good solid family Italuan restaurant. Good food generous portions, reasonable prices.

Lovely restaurant, great food and service. Always a warm welcome

Abba night. Work function. Good was good. Atmosphere was great.

Great food and a great atmosphere.

Very clean and welcoming. Food was very good!

Went for the pre Christmas ABBA show. Show was good. Packed in like sardines. Took ages to get served. Food pretty poor for the money. Ran out of veggie option. Evening saved by good company

Frozen cold food ruined Christmas dinner!!!

Was lovely dinner was great service good & was very Christmases it's was Elvis very nice atmosphere 😊

Cold food, prawns tiny but on the menu as king prawns. Nothing was nice

Have visited Boulevard many times over the years, food is always tasty and always very good value

Very pleasant atmosphere and the staff are brilliant and supportive.

Calamari starters was chewy. Sunday roast beef was also chewy. Veg was undercooked. The pate was nice though. Probably overpriced for what you get.

I must have been in a different restaurant from those who have left the last few reviews. The food was mediocre. The slow cooked lamb wasnt slow cooked as it was chewy . So were the prawns in the prawn cocktail . The service was alright but that's probably because there were only a handful of people in the place. They must be saving on the heating bill's as the place was cold. Sorry to say it, but this place has had its day.

One of the best restaurants I have been so far: friendly and attentive staff, relaxing atmosphere with great mellow song choice, but most of all Delicious home made food which proves to find difficult these days. We had lamb shanks where meat was so soft and falling off the bone yum yum! Thank you Boulevard

We enjoyed a delicious meal here. The food was cooked perfectly and the waitress was polite and helpful.

Nice and clean establishment. Good customer service. Thank you. Linda

Good basic selection on menu. Excellent waitress - suggested alternative potato and vegetables as required. Lovely meals, well cooked.

Visited for the first time today15 October, reviews were good and I took an aunt for Sunday lunch for her birthday. Restaurant/Cafe? was a real disappointment, not only plastic tablecloths but plastic flowers too! The food was dreadful, roast pork was fatty and tasted dreadful, parsnips cooked but not browned, usual cheap veg, carrots and broccoli both inedible, we had to ask for roast potatoes which needed further cooking. The Yorkshire pudding was okay. The meal came with gravy covering the meat, probably to disguise the cheap cut of pork. Dessert was no better, tiramisu was dry and seemed stale. I told the waitress about the food, she was indifferent and muttered that she would tell the chef. Was hoping that this would be a good find but definitely not going back!

Lovely food and a lovely restaurant. Highly recommended.

What a fantastic find. This place is so good I felt compelled to write a review for the first time ever. For a foodie like myself this place is heaven, I normally find at least something I am less keen on but here literally everything is perfect. If you are reading this review to decide on whether to visit this restaurant take my word for it you will not be disappointed. Enjoy.

Always amazing. This place never disappoints fantastic food at great prices with amazing service, you couldn’t ask for more.

Not been here in a while, have been coming to The Boulevard for many years, and I will still always choose to come here. Never Dissapointed. MOST Definately , the best value restaurant, with the best food. Luv Nick the owner.Staff are great, Still after many years of coming here to eat 10/10 never have I been disappointed. Recommend to anyone , Enjoy. 😊

Amazing all round. Food was a great price and very good quality. All of the staff and manager were extreamely friendly and funny. Huge range of drinks and cocktails. To top it off they had an amazing 60's singer on the same evening.

Always excellent food and vert good non obtrusive service

Great value, wide variety of consistently good food and welcoming atmosphere.

I love this place. I can't believe it took me such a long time to try this place. Great food at great prices and friendly service too. Just what you need in a great, local restaurant.

Świetnie jedzenie polecam wszystkim napewno tam wrócę

Great value for money at Boulevard. No frills just very good food and service.

Lovely atmosphere and friendly knowlegeable staff. I frequently sit to relax with a glass of wine. Generally good presentation of food and nice flavours. Pasta dish very flavourless and needs to be revised but other dishes much nicer. With a rethink about the pasta and sourcing higher quality meat the restaurant could be 5 stars.

Friendly staff, along with excellent food. Not pricey as well at this neighbourhood which is great. Had the Soup, Halloumi and Bolonaise - quite a relaxing dinner.

Great restaurant, lovely food, very attentive staff. Lubeck (with his six-pack and lovely European manner) was wonderful. Would definitely recommend a visit.

Had a very fun Mafia 😎 themed night for our work team. Staff very quick with food for table of 17 and good tasty and plentiful.

A lovely place, great food and friendly service.

As soon as manager saw me there was no smile or real welcome - very negative vibe. And of course she denied everything. Guess what colour I am?

The food in this place is only bettered by the service. The staff are so friendly and accommodating. Couldn't recommend Boulevards any more.. We are lucky it's one of our local restaurants.

Bit quiet, Monday in Feurary, but full service. 10% . Food great. Goid service. Nice retaurant

A French/Mediterranean restaurant in Croydon. The atmosphere was calm, and not too many people - which I personally prefer to a crowded, busy restaurant. I ordered a fish main course which was lovely, and a vegetable side - the portions were good enough that I struggled to finish, and found myself taking eating breaks so I could finish....I don't like to leave any good food on a plate. Overall, not a bad experience, but I found my meal to be on the slightly expensive side - as it was in Croydon after all - not West London! I might go there again if I am passing Croydon.

The food was amazing, and the staff were really friendly and helpful! lively atmosphere too

I can highly recommend this amazing restaurant. My partner and I went for dinner here last night as we have done a few times in the past, this restaurant is a hidden gem, the staff are always very friendly. The food is amazing, every time we go I try a different dish, the Brie fritters, prawns and halloumi are fantastic starters, the steak is our usual go to because it’s always cooked to perfection, they are more than happy to swap anything you want such as chips to mash or salad to veg, for the food you’re eating other restaurants and pubs will be charging more than this place and nowhere near the same quality. You never feel rushed between courses, the staff ask when you would like your main once you have finished your starter unlike other restaurants that try and hurry you along, the atmosphere is also lovely, we went quite early around 6pm and left around 8pm.

Love this place. Menu has a fantastic selection of cuisines, the staff are friendly and the prices are low. If you are considering this restaurant you really will not regret the decision to go.

Second time to Boulevard in 2 months, and very impressed again. Food quality is very good, service excellent and decent value for money. Will definitely be visiting again.

Had the most amazing Sunday lunch which turned into a whole day affair. Spent a good 6 hrs in this beautiful and cosy restaurant, with a relaxed and comforting vibe. Had a devine prawn cocktail, pasta milanese and sirloin steak which was all very tasty and cooked to perfection. The cheeky tiramisu was pretty good too. A really good selection of menu items and specials and a great drinks menu! A special thank you to Clive and his wonderful colleagues for taking such good care of us and for spoiling us. A definate gem in Croydon and a must visit for all!

Great little cafe ,good value for money and food was good

Lovely customer service. Very friendly. Food was fine. Very good value when booking via The Fork.

This place is amazing. Food plentiful, well cooked and good menu choice. Such good atmosphere and staff are lovely. What a find! visited twice in a month and will be using frequently.

Went for the Abba night. The sound was so loud half our party left after 15 minutes. Sat outside the restaurant. Wouldn't go again for a tribute night

Went there for Parkinsons Purley Group - Xmas Meal. We've had it here, the previous year. So surrounding is familiar. Meal was of good portions. About 50 of us there. Sometimes - a bit awkward - when coming out of inner seats - to use toilets. A bar is also there. Friendly staff. We'll organised. Thanks.

Recommended but you may be a bit late for the Christmas special now. Once again the only zero alcohol beer available was Heineken which is the base camp of the alcohol free Everest.

Very poor service,waited ages for menu and same for service.We actually had to go to bar for our drinks.Sadly 1 order arrived which was wrong so we mentioned it to the waiter ,he became very rude towards the whole table so we paid up and left.

Loved the restaurant and the stained glass windows! Very nice food

This place could do with a Gordon Ramsey make over! Quite dated, restaurant. Seems very popular with local people who are used to the dishes, but food whilst ok, is tired looking, mass produced, some of it processed, food. Had the lamb roast which was nice enough, but the plate was smothered in gravy, so everything,including vegetables was swimming in gravy, which was quite salty. Had calamari to start and this looked awful on the plate with some limp salad that I wouldn't even try, it was clearly old. The calamari tasted ok, the presentation just left a lot to be desired. Staff were efficient, but not very friendly, they did their job! Toilets are on the same level so accessible. They do themed nights throughout the year.

Thank you for an extraordinary evening. Super staff, super food and super music.

Conversation stopper. Too busy enjoying our food to talk. Fabulous service. Would recommend this resturant.

Service is great, the food is delicious and the wine is amazing! Thank you Boulevard for so many enjoyable evenings.

-The food was bland -the steak was chewy and burnt -the chocolate fudge cake was tough, and the ice cream tasted past it's expiration date -the main server's fingernails were dirty -one of the servers didn't seem to speak English and constantly had to fetch another person -there was food smeared on the wall -the tablecloths were fabric and had bits of food rubbed into it -the main server seemed to have a nasty attitude and a hostile air -the drinks, despite being full of ice cubes, were lukewarm and there were things floating in them -the main server (with the dirty fingernails) was touching the straw with his bare hands and put them in our drinks rather than giving them to us -the restaurant was full of flies -the chairs were uncomfortable (get ready for an itchy bottom) -the decor was nice, particularly the stained glass window and the random door.

The boulevard is a lovely restaurant the staff are amazing very helpful the food is amazing highly recommend going there

Enjoyed a delicious dinner here with a friend. Warm, friendly atmosphere and good prices. Will definitely be back soon.

This is our regular lunch venue, always great food, excellent value for money & their creme brulé is out of this world !

The best café with outdoor seating

It was ok. Very hot in there and serving guy was sweating and I saw him scoop ice out with his hands. When he saw me watching he stopped. Food wise portions were fantastic. Valve for money.

Nice food, friendly staff and good value price. Strongly recommend. Family environment

Food was delicious. . Staff were professional just the place needs a good clean the outside area floor was very dirty was nearly put off but glad I wasnt as food was on point great price for 2 people

Say No More Than... EXCELLENT...

We had a great evening, food was delicious, fantastic customer service. Would apreaciate a bit more vegetarian options as my friend had only one meal to choose from.

Visited here many times in the past including New Years Eve. Never had a bad meal. Good value and nice ambience. Highly recommended local restaurant :)

Food was delicious and staff were extremely helpful

Seafood linguini, the only flavour was tomato, we searched for the seafood and found an average of 3 tiny shrimp on each plate. Not impressed and would not recommend to anybody. The steak was ok but nothing special, One out 4 satisfied. 3 out of 4 very disappointed.

We have been here multiple times. Always have a good time. The food is lovely, good portion sizes and a great price. The pace of service was a little slower this time, but they were busy... I would highly recommend visiting here!

I wasn't expecting much from this restaurant, but was pleasantly surprised. The inside of the restaurant was really cosy and had a lovely atmosphere. The staff were very friendly and happy to help throughout the evening. The food I did order (flat mushrooms and roasted halloumi with cous cous) was really nice, but as a vegetarian, I was a bit disappointed with the range of options there were on the menu. However the service was really great, and the restaurant truly had a great feel. The desserts (cheesecake, crumble, ice cream and chocolate fudge cake) were delicious. Overall a great meal, just wish there were more veggie/vegan options!

Lovely food, great atmosphere.

Great food Great service Great time

Wonderful to support this long standing South Croydon restaurant. We visited in a large group of 20 people and food and service was immaculate given how many of us there was. We all ate at the same time and staff were very on top of drinks order and any needs we had. Great value for money with their set meals.
