Boulevard Brasserie in City of London, Westminster

No real complaints, all just a bit dull. One waiter was very strange but his unpredictability actually added to the night for us as he argued with the tables around us. Made it feel more authentically French!

DO NOT GO!! Only found the website now to write a review me and my partner went a couple years to this place and my partner got severe food poisoning from eating a tuna steak from here! We were told to email to make a complaint and we never got any word back after we left London. Could have led to a serious health issue being served off tuna steak

Este es un restaurante realmente encantador con un gran ambiente y deliciosa comida. Personal servicial y buen servicio. La caña de cordero con puré era muy bueno. Ideal para cenar antes del teatro o en cualquier momento. Puede estar muy ocupado, así que recomendaría reservar.

¡Excepcional hallazgo! Estoy acostumbrado a los precios provinciales de Kent, no de Londres. Pero el precio fijo de hoy habría sido bueno en la costa. No solo era el parfait de hígado de pollo absolutamente fantástico, pero la lubina era delicioso también. Tenía que terminar la tarta de queso, aunque tenía un poco de envidia por la crema brava. Nos sentamos mitad adentro, mitad afuera en el resplandor naranja del dosel. Se sentía totalmente auténticamente francés, justo al lado de la plaza Covent Garden

Good value eatery on Covent Garden.

Very friendly . We were a party of eight and all of the food choices were excellent. Particular mention for the onion soup and the salmon. Bustling atmosphere. Excellent value with the 50 percent off deal

Super, another great visit to this restaurant. Very welcoming staff helped create a lovely atmosphere. All our dishes were most enjoyable. We have never been disappointed with our visits here. More than happy to recommend.

Juliano provided outstanding service—attentive, friendly, and professional throughout. He truly made the experience special!

Excellent style and presentation. Staff were very knowledgeable and helpful. Literally every food imaginable. Very tasty tho' we waited a bit long.

The service was exceptionel. It’s rare to find after 10 PM during the week a restaurant in this area of London where you are still being served. We came with a group of eight people and were not disappointed. The waitress Elisa Franco was a perfect host and everyone was happy with the food. You feel like in a real French Brasserie.

Un grupo del Capítulo Masónico, usa esto regularmente para cenar después de la reunión. Fayre y la cotización para el grupo es muy razonable para Londres... el personal siempre eficiente y un servicio rápido. Ciertamente tendrías problemas para encontrar una alternativa adecuada para nuestro tipo de grupo en esta área.

Boulevard me ha estado deleitando durante unos veinte años. Es engañosamente grande, tiene un sótano y comedor en el primer piso, así como el encantador nivel de la planta baja. Sin embargo, a pesar de su tamaño, siempre parece encantadoramente íntimo y el servicio es siempre atento y eficiente. El menú, por supuesto, es auténticamente francés, y la cocina es de primera clase. Hay una excelente carta de vinos donde siempre encuentro la combinación perfecta para nuestra comida, y la factura final, en el ambiente actual de precios cada vez mayores, representa una relación calidad-precio de primera clase en esta ubicación privilegiada de Londres.

Had a wonderful dinner to celebrate my daughter’s birthday, everything was amazing from food, service and place. highly recommend this french brassiere!

Elisa was so helpful and the rest of the staff. Beef was also excellent with great prices. The appetizers were great.

It's hard to find somewhere that caters for someone who is vegetarian and has Coeliac Disease but this place was fab. Staff were so helpful and took extra care with my daughters gluten free meal. Will definitely go again. The pics are of my food - not my daughters 😊

Good and well cooked food. Wide choice. Waiters a little cold. Very nice environment.

We booked a table the night before for a 60th Birthday suprise after which we were heading to the Theatre Royal for 'Much Ado About Nothing' .... and oh my word, what a find this wonderful restaurant is! The restaurant is beautiful, we were greeted by a wonderful welcome and we were sat downstairs at a lovely table, the smell of the food was so enticing... We started off with cocktails, all of which were amazing, we ordered from the Pre-Theatre menu and it all tasted magnificent and was a great price too. Our server, called Ines.B was fabulous, she had a great way about her and made us all feel comfortable, we didn't have to wait for anything, honestly I had the grilled seabass fillet and it was the best I have ever tasted, cooked to perfection. The Margarita was amazing as was all of the cocktails ..... Honestly, this restaurant was the best and made our friend's 60th Birthday meal a joy. Thank you to all at Boulevard Brasserie, and especially Ines, it was a wonderful dining experience xx

French classics in a lively space. Excellent service. Food was average.

It’s not bad but far from being the best food or service you can have.

Loved how french this place is! Even the waiters seem to be all french! The menu has some great options! We ordered the chateaubriand to share - it was super tender and tasty but it also tasted a bit old and not very fresh! The dauphinoise potatoes were epic and a must have!

We made a booking for a pre-theatre dinner and when we placed our order the place was only half-full, not particularly busy. Waited more than an hour... In the meantime, people who arrived after us were served their meals. We were reassured by the waiter that our food was on the way but nothing eventuated. We also had to ask multiple times just to be brought some water. We ended up leaving without eating as the wait became frankly ridiculous and we needed to get to the theatre! Can't even review the food as it never arrived... Hugely disappointing. We won't be coming here again when there are so many other better options in this area of London.

Friendly restaurant with good value, delicious food, in a great location. Lovely staff, very accommodating, catered very well for my children. Relaxed atmosphere, with the feeling of a true French brasserie. We've been twice and will keep coming back.

Had an outstanding experience at Boulevard Brasserie. My partner and I had lunch together. We booked for around 12 and arrived at first at a very quiet restaurant which got very lively as lunchtime hit. The atmosphere was great. Our server (Tzouliano listed on Receipt) was great. Very quick and polite - thank you for your service. The food was fantastic. We opted for the lunch set menu. Having the Baked Brie Filo starter and Butternut risotto for main. My partner had the Sea bass for main, with a side of Fries. We shared a Creme Brulé for dessert. Would highly recommend all of them. Will be visiting again soon and recommending to all, thank you for a great experience.

Lovely afternoon tea. Lovely scones and cakes. The teas were quite weak but this was remedied by our lovely waiter.

Where do I start, salty food, fish dishes weren't fresh...very fishy. Ambience was horrible, was seated under the stairs, only had candles to light up our table. Order was incorrect twice, waiters seem like they were disinterested in serving us. Stepped on my wife's beautiful foot and didn't even apologise...horrible. Would not go back, plenty better fresh restaurants around.

Magic level of service, utmost taste food, flexibility and so nice and friendly staff♥️✨

Waited 2 hours French toast was sour for some reason mojito was even worse. The service was even worse

Thanks for making our 40th birthdays special! Lovely food, great portions would definitely come back again!

Very cute place. Great afternoon tea and really great service. Thank you ❤️

They offer a 50% off food on their website. When you order they tell you the offer excludes steak meals which isn't on the website so be warned. Side orders were missed or not delivered on time. Poor service

Came here for Afternoon Tea. It did not disappoint. The tea was nice and hot. The sandwiches were very tasty. A nice selection of sweets with a wide range of tastes. The scones were brought out when you preferred so they were warm to eat. Great French atmosphere even though you were in the middle of London. Nice soft French music in the background and the walls were decorated with great French poster scenes. I would definitely recommend it.

Great location, just opposite the Opera House. Food was delicious, with very attentive service, and a relaxed atmosphere. Would recommend all that we had ... For starters: French onion soup and baked brie Mains: Boeuf Bourguignon and Chicken Paillard Dessert: I really enjoyed my creme brulee, but also had dessert envy for the Cheesecake, which was also delicious Highly recommended, and look forward to visiting again.

Whilst my wife was satisfied with her meal my fish and chips was not good. Soggy batter and bland and probably frozen fish was not good enough. I couldn't eat it.

Food was tasty. Service was a bit sporadic - friendly but long gaps between courses even though the restaurant wasn't that busy.

Lovely service this afternoon. Sat down outside for a carafe of white, champagne, and lemon tart.

I recently took a group from Japan to Boulevard Brasserie in London for afternoon tea before our backstage tour at the Royal Opera House. The location was excellent, and the atmosphere was perfect—exactly what you’d hope for in a traditional British setting. For my clients from Japan, it was their first time in the UK, and their expectations for a classic afternoon tea experience were naturally very high. From the very first bite, I knew we had made the right choice. The presentation and flavours were absolutely outstanding, and the scones—without a doubt—were the best I’ve ever had. Light, fluffy, and melt-in-the-mouth perfection! The staff were incredibly warm and welcoming, making our visit even more special. We enjoyed ourselves so much that we nearly lost track of time and almost missed our backstage tour! We will definitely be returning—thank you for such a wonderful experience!

My set menu was reasonable, although my partner's fish and chips was poor. Poor quality fish. The problem was service. I ordered a dessert, and asked the waiter for two coffees to follow. The coffees arrived promptly before the dessert, brought by a different waiter. Not really a major problem, although I did point out that we wanted the coffees after my dessert. Then the first waiter appeared asking what the problem was. I said there was no problem. I pointed out that I had asked for coffees after my dessert. His reply was " well the dessert comes from upstairs!" So what? His attitude was extremely aggressive and confrontational. The management of this restaurant needs to teach it's staff the meaning of customer service. Obviously, no apology offered. We will not be returning.

Excellent French restaurant, reminded us of happy times in Paris. Staff very friendly and efficient. Food excellent. Plenty of seating on three floors but is very busy. Although busy food was served quickly and was fresh and hot.

Thank you Ronaldo for great service .

The ambience and food were good, but the service really ruined the whole experience. Our waiter was beyond rude. There are so many places in London to try, I would recommend trying somewhere else first before going here!

The mussels were undercooked. I noticed to the waitress is not cooked but she did nothing. When I got home, I got diarrhea twice in two hours.

Great coffee, food and atmosphere.

A lovely restaurant with a great menu and charming service. The quality of the food was wonderful. We had the Prix fixed menu - I had truffle soup and sea bass which were decently portioned and well presented and filling. My only criticism is that the tables for two are extremely small. There is virtually no space for sides or drinks and it can be very hot inside. Probably due to having candles in the tables and lots of interior lighting.

Unfortunately we left having a sour taste in our mouths (not from the food). Booked using the tastecard. Food was good although main course size is a little on the small side. It's advisable to order side vegetables as depending on what you choose, it may come with none. Not a big problem. However, when it came to settling the bill a 12.5% service charge was placed on the total at the value that does not take into account any discounts meaning the service charge value neared 20% of what the final bill was. I asked to decline paying the fee and instead leave a cash tip. I was immediately sent to the manager and asked what was wrong with the service in a derogatory tone. I explained I just wanted to leave a cash tip. I deeply disagree with this approach and the pressure to pay more.

Horrible experience. The host ignored us the moment we entered in, and we were shoved into the smallest table despite plenty of open spots. Our waitor who was pretending to be French was blatantly racist—ignoring us, serving others first, and bringing our food cold after a long wait. Even getting the bill took forever. To top it off, when I paid, he loudly acted shocked that a woman was paying instead of my boyfriend. The sexism and racism were unreal. If you're a person of color, avoid this place. They don’t even try to hide their bias.

Top-notch service from professional and engaging staff. Food and wine was also excellent.

With 50% off food deal, this was a great value meal with our favourite French classics. We’ve been coming to the restaurant for 2-3 decades & whilst portions might not be as large as they once were, the dishes are still delicious.

Great but we booked for 1400. Food didn’t arrive until 1400

Wide menu at a reasonable price for Covent Garden.

Excellent! Great food, pleasant service, they got us in and out pre-theatre. Recommended

Good meal at the Boulevard Brasserie. Nice atmosphere and staff were pleasant. Will come again.

Fantastic lunch - perfect for a relaxed leisurely lunch. The food was excellent with good house wine. The service from Antonio was great. Would go back and I recommend. Thank you to Antonio and all the staff there.

Lovely restaurant with great atmosphere in perfect location for theatres and Covent Garden. Wonderful food served by friendly staff. Have eaten here before and would recommend it has always been busy when I’ve visited which I think says it all.

This is a classy venue with really good food. I have been before and was hoping for the delicious rack of lamb but unfortunately it was not on the menu - disappointed but understandable. We had 50% off all food and order steaks instead only to be informed that the deal applies to everything on the menu… except steaks… We stayed with the steak orders and we both ordered side dishes. We both also had dessert. Regardless of the quibble about the 50% deal on steaks it proved to be a really great deal as everything else - except drinks- was discounted. Good food, good service, good ambiance and a great deal! Thank you! Please put rack of lamb back on the menu lol

After some five weeks' closure for kitchen reconstruction, they've finally reopened. The menu hasn't so much changed as been pruned: old, seemingly permanent favourites like Coq au vin and Steak tartare have vanished - some eight dishes in total - but with no new replacements that I could detect. I think this is a great shame; and in a restaurant as venerable as this that emphasises its reputation as an above all FRENCH brasserie, the deleted dishes strikes me as very ill-judged. They should really reconsider this. Other than that, the non-food essentials remain in the shape of exceptionally agreeable staff; and such of the menu as survived the cull is still produced to an excellent standard, well worth your visit.

Food was overall very good. Fish and chips super yummy. Considering there was only one waiter for our floor, he did an amazing job. We were sat upstairs. Restaurant was full and way too overcrowded. No spaces between tables, constantly being bumped into by other diners, the waiter could not get through. Nowhere near enough space on the table for the items ordered.

A typical Brasserie with good food and Service prior to going to the theatre which hit all the right spots

The service - be it pre theatre, a quick lunch or the festive season in full flight - is second to none. Great value, and great fodder served with a flourish.

This is the first time since the”renovation “ Food quality very poor prices up service non existent Maitre D didn’t want to know as we are not allowed to drink wine and the portion small I am going to cancel my next booking

Timeless French classsics in this timeless friendly location. Good choice of wines by the carafe. Good value with 50% off food.

Lovely long lunch with an old fiend over from Australia. Could have chosen so many things from the menu. The house red was delicious and the staff were naturally very friendly. Been going here for years and will visit again soon. This restaurant has always been a joy.

Decent enough classic French menu. Starters were ok (prawn cocktail, pate). Chicken paillard was utterly fabulous. Steak was awful - mostly gristle and sinew. Service was speedy but perfunctory and felt under-staffed and stressed. Tiny table, quite cramped.

Have been many times, always good quality food served by great staff,

A friendly, welcoming restaurant providing excellent service and value.

The food was delicious—warm and comfortable restaurant.

We have dined at Boulevard Brasserie on a number of occasions and have always been pleased with the food. The meal today was very good. The menu is varied.

Lovely ambience Great menu - the fixed one is perfect - salmon and chicken Lovely team

Our server Antonio C , was as ever, professional , knowledgable and just perfect.

The restaurant was closed …………………………………………………………….

We spent New Year's Eve in this establishment with friends, but we were disappointed by the meal offered. For a price of €81.61, we expected superior quality, but unfortunately few dishes were actually good. Additionally, the air conditioning in the room was quite unpleasant, which made the ambiance less comfortable. That said, we would like to highlight the sympathy and professionalism of the waiters and waitresses, who were very pleasant throughout the evening. We hope that improvements will be made in the future to bring the experience more in line with the asking price.

This was New Year's Eve and the restaurant was busy (we had booked) but that did not detract from the excellent service. Although there was a special NYE menu, we chose from the A la Carte. All delicious.

Amazing service and food. Cute restaurant lived the Christmas decorations

Good value pre-theatre prix fixe menu - solid French cuisine and efficient service.

Love this place, good great, staff lovely and cosy at atmosphere

Excellent location, attractive prices (especially the lunch/early dinner menu), decent service and quite nice ambiance. Nice starters and desert, but the main courses - especially the boeuf bourguignon - were a bit of a let-down.

Love this little spot in Covent Garden for great food and value! Never disappoints!!

Will start by saying the food is ok for the price for the location. Had to squeeze 5 people onto a table suited for 4, a chair on the end made for uncomfortable seating and space all evening. We were given water for the table to start and waited nearly 20 minutes before we received our first and only drinks if the evening. Starters arrived 55 minutes after we were seated and ordered. 1 hour and 55 minutes after being seated, we asked how long our mains would be, while numerous tables around us were all waiting and one group left after waiting 30 minutes not to receive a drink. 2 hours and 10 mins and our mains had arrived, beef mains really lacking in beef. One of us ordered a side of potatoes to go with a sea bass, the potatoes arrives 15 minutes after the mains and after asking twice for them. At 8.40 some of us left to go catch a train home, leaving 2 others there to pay the bill, consistent with the rest of the meal, the bill was requested twice and finally paid. I have never known a basic menu take so long to serve and front of houses not speak while leaving a restaurant. Overall, nice food for price, just don't make any other plans for the evening as you make it.

I have been to this restaurant a few times and always really enjoyed the food and overall ambience. The staff are always lovely and very helpful,though on this occasion the service was a bit slower and initial order/drinks could have been taken sooner. Overall though a lovely taste of France in London!

Lovely did and service as ever. Pleased to have a table on ground floor as requested

Good value Prix Fuxe menu. Food was all tasty and in decent sized portions. Waiters and staff all welcome and efficient. Great location.

We ate in the basement which felt very cosy. Delicious Coq au vin and the prix fixe menu was also very good and good value.

Very good, we were a group of 10 - service was great. One or two of the dishes were not quite up to the usual standard...

Excellent atmospheric brasserie right in the heart of London, the set price menu seems to be good value, I had an excellent and very tasty, large, piping hot mushroom soup and a chicken main course, that was perfectly seasoned and extremely tasty. Efficient friendly service; I will certainly come again soon.

Food was tasty and presented very well. Good value for money and service was excellent.

I only had a Cesar salad & it was excellent Open till late when most restaurants around theater district close! Servers helpful & polite! Excellent Music Playlist! Will come Back to taste more dishes!

Another perfect lunch - delicious food, exceptional service & ambience - just what we needed - thank you

Really disappointing experience the fillet steak had to be sent back to the kitchen it was gristle and fatty. Starters average, wine very good. We have visited this restaurant many times over the years and had lovely meals, but we won't be returning again.

The food and service where perfect. Its a little bit expansive but it is worth it

Excellent service, good food. Little bit cramped on table.

Not a good night for good. Hopefully it was just a bad night for the kitchen.

Very enjoyable meal from Prix Fixe menu. Great value and excellent service

This was my third visit here. I keep returning because the restaurant maintains great quality food and the price is not extravegant. Enjoyed everything we had on the fixed price menu. All looked and tasted excellent.

Good food. Friendly staff. Nice ambiance. Would recommend for any occasion

Just off the Strand up Wellington amongst several bars and eateries is a French restaurant that gives you a warm welcome vibe when you walk through the door. The place is busy but small so when the friendly host takes you down the stairs you think “we’ve been to the basement, nooo”. It’s just downstairs to a bigger, livelier and bustling dining area with another bar. Despite the crowd the noise level was fine. The waiter was friendly and capable. They had a Christmas menu - 3 courses - 39£. Good deal. I had a delicious duck cassoulet. My partner had Coq au vin. Both dishes delicious. Double billed for glasses of wine, easily remedied.

Very busy pre-theatre, with an excellent value set menu at £19.95 for two courses (still on, even in the run up to Christmas). Nice buzz, plus cosy and warm inside. Food was tasty, well-presented, and it was served fairly quickly. Mushroom soup especially was delicious and steaming hot. Pumpkin risotto was on the warm side as opposed to piping hot which was a shame. Staff stretched, though courteous, so we had to chase for the bill to make it to theatre on-time. Been here loads of times and will always return.

A gem of a restaurant, we have visited a few times and never been disappointed. The service on our latest visit was excellent, especially considering how busy it was. The food as always was simple but good, the set menu is very good value. Recommend.

Great food and especially professional service - which sadly is increasingly rare

We kept to the prix fixe menu and had a glass of champagne each. The food was tasty and well cooked. Only comment really was that the salmon starter could have done with a few crackers or some thin toast. Service was swift and attentive, despite the restaurant being busy.

came for a christmas lunch with the boys and had a lovely time! gorgeous food and lovely service, shoutout to Vis as well, he was a great waiter! would recommend for nice dinner 🙌

Starter was Brie wrapped in filo pastry, which was delicious. Main was disappointing, so overcooked it was mush, risotto. The risotto had pleasant flavours but the texture was like baby food. The staff were great. The location is good. Everyone else’s meals were very good.
