Boulevard Brasserie in City of London, Westminster

A very good afternoon with friends made more enjoyable by the service and food we received. A very relaxed atmosphere, value for money, and a very good server, apologies but I do not know his name. We were booked on a table of six at 12:30 on 16th December. He was very, very good. We have been there numerous times.

Sadly not a great experience tonight. Very slow service and then one of our mains didn’t arrive at all. To be fair we weren’t charged for the main that arrived once everyone else had finished their meals but the situation wasn’t helped by rather surly service and the constant difficulty of trying to attract the waiter’s attention .

One of our favourite restaurants. Everything is faultless. It was very, very noisy the night we visited, but then it's Christmas time and the place was rammed. All the more credit to the kitchen and staff for maintaining excellent quality of food, good timing and prompt, efficient service.

Absolutely brilliant experience as usual. Antonio was a great waiter and everything was perfect.

We had a table of eight at Christmas,the restaurant was very busy but still the service was very good and the food was excellent.

Excellent value on the fixed price menu. Food was delicious! Will definitely be back! Thank you for a lovely experience.

Lovely atmosphere, busy and lively. Great music. Comfortable temperature (lots of restaurants are so cold 🥶). Delightful staff, delicious food, good size portions and very tasty. What a lovely pre-theatre meal we had!

An ok restaurant service good considering how busy it was waiter a little rude at times waitress brilliant. My Brie filo parcel not hot and pretty bland , boulbasse Laci g in flavour and fish , mussels and french onion soup good steak tartare tasteless , not massively expensive, however probably won’t go back

As always friendly and attentive service despite being incredibly busy ! Food was served promptly, with friendly efficiency, always checking back to see that everything was to our liking

We arrive early but we’re treated and seated straight away. The restaurant was super busy with the run up to Christmas but food was lovely and came out fresh without a wait. Staff great, ambience great. Second time we’ve been and would definitely return Big thumbs up !!!

Genuine delicious food , cosy and welcoming atmosphere! Heart warming service ! Thank you

Frantically busy (and in truth far too noisy for me). But the staff, under enormous seasonal pressure, coped wonderfully, as did the soon-to-be-refurbished kitchen; and the food was its usual reliable self.

Great fun, great atmosphere, great food - perfect for groups of friends and special occasions

Another delightful lunch at BB. Excellent service, tasty food at reasonable prices and a great location. My favourite in Covent Garden.

The food was excellent, exceeded expectation for the price. Perfect location as well.

This is a regular destination for me with various friends. The food is always great, although today it wasn’t as warm as usual. The menu is varied and the fixed price is a very reasonable. The staff are all very good.

My mother and sister and myself went to a pre christmas celebration. My sister and myself have been there on several occasions and have never been disappointed with both the food or service. We enjoyed it very much and will be back again

We were celebrating joint 59th birthday. We had a great service and a free glass of fizz. Food came in good time and was very nice. A lovely evening.

Fabulous restaurant! Amazing food and such brilliant service from all the staff! Lovely restaurant and we’ll definitely be back

Too crowded & noisy. Fewer tables would have made the experience enjoyable.

Was lovely, booked last minute as our original restaurant was full of kids and loud music. Moved here, great food and service and not the tourist trap I expected!

The food was lovely. The atmosphere was very charming and the staff were amazing.

Great restaurant, good ambiance, food good and affordable for London. Our waitress was lovely, big smile and very helpful. Great experience

We had the set price menu which had plenty of choice. The food was delicious and the service was friendly and efficient. The venue is clean and has a nice atmosphere. Highly recommended and good value if you want a decent meal a cut above fast food.

A wonderful birthday lunch a bottle of procecco on arrival and a lovely dessert on the house. Thank you Boulevard Brasserie you made my birthday very special See you next year

Really enjoyed our meal. The ambience and value was excellent! If I was being really picky, the chicken was slightly overdone but so difficult to cook breast just right, however extremely tasty. Would recommend

The restaurant did agree to seat us an hour earlier than we had booked. However, we found the restaurant was full, almost to capacity. And very noisy. It is Christmas, and I appreciate this. However, 15 mins to get a drinks order. The starters came in reasonable time, but the rest of the service was very slow. As per everywhere this time of year in London. The food was very good though, so a mixed bag of scores. The price was very good value for money, So, all in all, I would visit again, but perhaps at a less busy time, so we can experience the restaurant to it's potential.

We wanted a decent restaurant before a visit to Royal Opera House. We were greeted as if we were expected and introduced to our waiter. We had the same member of staff for our meal, who was brilliant, friendly, attentive and observant. We had fabulous food, highly recommend moules mariniere and coq au vin as mains and crème brûlée and Belgian chocolate truffle cake for dessert. Cocktails are also rather good! Service is as speedy as you require, we needed it quick as we had a short window of time but other diners around us were having a more leisurely meal. All the staff genuinely seem to want to be there and the atmosphere was great. We will certainly be returning!

An amazing meal last night! Food, Devine. Wine, delicious. Service was fantastic, very attentive & friendly. Would definitely recommend

Food and service were very good - steak frites -always a good choice! Like a lot of London restaurants the tables are very close but why put new customers next to each other when plenty of empty tables elsewhere? Otherwise enjoyable!

Lovely French restaurant and delicious food. Beef bourguignon and Chicken Liver Parfait wee both particularly good. Great friendly efficient service

Wonderful experience as always. Great restaurant with exceptional customer service and excellent cooking and a vast drinks list. Always recommended!

Had an excellent afternoon for my friend’s birthday!! We were made very welcome and the service was perfect !! Had a great time - the food was fabulous! The restaurant has a great atmosphere too - very relaxed! Thank you 🙏🏻

I had the moule mariniere but the mussels were so heavily overcooked that the mussels were shrivelled up and very small. I also had a big lump of what tasted like dried gravy granules in the bottom of the pot which presumably was used to make the sauce by adding hot water. I had previously enjoyed this restaurant but unfortunately I will not be going back again.

Excellent as usual. It is a relatively small restaurant and we were seated on the ground floor (the lower floor is better) and it was very busy. This meant that customers were queueing next to the table while we were eating. However the food from the fixed price menu was excellent.

Tasty food delivered in a timely manner - perfect pre-theatre dining.

BB is a great go-to place if you want some good french dishes. 4th time here with family and friends and hasn’t disappointed, service was quick and whilst they are super busy - if you want a decent table - book!

Always delicious food at very good value. Friendly and. very helpful staff

Post theatre dinner for my wife(who had been here before) and I. Lovely ambience, and great smells coming from the kitchen. Extremely good service, and the food was great. What more do you need.

What a great discovery...excellent service and ambience with an interesting and well priced menu close to the Royal Opera House so perfect for a preperformance meal.

I've eaten at the restaurant several times in the last few months when I have only received friendly and professional service. Although the food was its usual high standard this evening, my friends and I were taken aback at the off-hand, abrupt and verging on rude, manner of the waiter. He clearly didn't have the patience or interest in serving us. We won't be rushing back.

One of our favourite restaurants, when we visit London, waiter was very helpful and we asked for quiet area, with less noise, lovely atmosphere and friendly staff will visit again. Merci.

So pleased to have found this little gem of a restaurant. Everything was absolutely perfect,highly recommend and will definitely be back. Thank you for such wonderful service,fabulous staff and delicious food.

Lovely restaurant, my fourth visit. Its such a nice place for a quiet meal.

Had a really lovely meal with my family. Food was excellent and the staff were friendly!

Food and atmosphere great. Not much service. May have been staff off sick. Previously good experience.

Lovely welcome and excellent prix fixe menu, good value.

Thank you for accomodating us! I appreciate that you let us bring a birthday cake to celebrate a friend’s birthday! Food was good and so does the ambiance!

Always reliable, with polite friendly staff and a lovely ambience.

Very enjoyable after theatre meal. Will use you again on our next theatre visit

Friendly helpful staff. However, we could not get the res time of our choice and would advise if this happens to call the restaurant direct-there were tables available.

We visit quite frequently and rate the restaurant highly for quality. Whist today's meal was good ( Bouef Bourgogne) it lacked flavour and was warm rather than hot.

Had a great first visit with friends after a matinee theatre stop. Great overall food was delicious and well presented and the staff super friendly

Very enjoyable evening with great food and excellent service

A good meal, unusually below-average & slow service - possibly short-staffed, good value, very good ambiance. Still love it here though. Tx

Good lunchtime meal with excellent service from experienced waiter.

Intimate french brasserie in Covent Garden. A traditional dated menu. Service was very slow. Nice ambience inside.

Superb! Love Monday night dinners, relaxed atmosphere and wonderful food and service. Always a favourite of mine. Thank you.

Very efficient service for pre-theatre dinner without being rushed. Reasonable West end prices and good food on a balanced menu. Boulevard Brasserie has a good formula and is very well placed for theatres around Covent Garden

Delicious food, a good house red, friendly and efficient service. My only complaint is that I didn't notice the service charge and they allowed me to add another tip. I think they should have pointed out that 15% service was already included.

Lovely food, staff and ambience. Relaxing time with friends. Highly recommend

4th visit this year, always enjoyable, lovely food and great service

I have never seen in any French restaurants escargot served with ONE piece of baguette , normally it’s a little basket of breads, so you can eat all that garlicky herb oil from snails plate. However, they served it with one cut and it was badly burnt on one side. When I asked for a not burnt piece of bread I have been given two small cuts of soggy and chewy baguette . Probably from the fridge. Onion soup was very average .

Good standard of food, unique ambiance ( which some may or may not like) which actually lifted the evening slightly. Unfortunately the service was not so good, it was very chaotic and really dampened our enjoyment. On a positive note this was recognised and compensated for but inevitably it spoilt what otherwise could have been a very good night.

We really enjoyed our experience, the only criticism is that there were very few sandwiches and they were tiny!! We think that it would be better to have more sandwiches (rather than two scones)

Great ambience (Sunday 1.00pm), delicious food on a fixed price menu - excellent value. Wonderful service. Good location in Covent Garden.

Excellent service, good food and wine, well priced. As always a lovely venue to visit

Lovely afternoon tea, sandwiches and cakes were dinky but tasty and filling. Venue was pleasant with a cosy atmosphere

I wouldn’t come back here. The afternoon tea was awful as well as the service. We had to wait 40 minutes to just be served tea to which they said they didn’t do oat/soy milk etc which for central London I find shocking considering how many people are lactose intolerant/vegan/have allergies nowadays. This wasn’t on the website and should be made very clear. They didn’t listen to my friend when she asked a very simple request about not having salmon in her sandwiches and just cream cheese and ignored her completely and also the waiter was just rude and we could tell he really just wanted us out of there.

Dommage, le cassoulet et le bœuf bourguignon n’étaient vraiment pas à la hauteur de la cuisine française. Mais nous sommes à Londres….

I done at Boulevard regularly - for lunch, dinner, and their afternoon tea - and always enjoy it… but when their 50% off deal is on then it becomes an unbelievable opportunity. Five friends and I, ate like kings and spent the whole afternoon here. Amazing.

A restaurant with character and service to match.Food is ok and price is consistent with covent garden.The addition of wine carafes makes dining easier..

Restaurant is cosy , good food , great service . Set menu is good value . Not too noisy so acoustically it is good .

Lovely food, excellent service, nice atmosphere in the restaurant.

very enjoyable visit , good food with helpful service

Good value, traditional French bistro experience in the Covent Garden area. It is several years since we went to Boulevard and we were delighted to find it was as good as ever. Although we had booked some time ahead we were initially a bit disappointed to be seated downstairs, although it got better as downstairs filled up, but we would still have referred being on the ground floor. The servers were nice, but obviously very pushed to be able to serve all the tables downstairs. The food choice was excellent and we both very much enjoyed our choices. I had the specials escargot starter and rabbit in a mustard sauces, my wife had a wild mushroom vol au vent followed by baked cod. We will continue to recommend Boulevard to friends and will try not to leave it so long before we visit again.

When in the area, this is our new 'go to'. Reminded my wife and I of happy times in France. Super.

I had afternoon tea with a friend and was disappointed . Not worth the money. I asked for strong tea twice and was given one tea bag separately for a large pot of tea. The sandwiches and cakes were pedestrian. Certainly not worth the money. Overall experience - awful.

Great food, attentive staff and cosy atmosphere. Thank you, we have been coming here for over 13 years since our first date and will certainly be coming back.

Great food!! We came to have pre-theatre menu before the musical.

Cosy atmosphere, amazing service. Waiter was very patient with us and went above and beyond to make our evening special.

Very good food. We discovered this restaurant only a few months ago and always enjoy returning.

Will definitely be coming back; great food, service and atmosphere and reasonable price. Had the french onion soup (yum), Boulebaisse (yum) and friend had the chicken salad which was fabulous. Selection of wines really good.

We enjoyed our meal and experience. The manager was supportive of getting the promotion applied against our meal. Thank you.

This is the place for afternoon tea with unlimited bubbles especially if you’re going to the opera or ballet. The opera house is so close! Friendly attentive service and wonderful experience.

We were stuck in a basement corner, service was slow and food not as good as normal (overcooked prawns and mushy pasta). A bit disappointing as this place is usually reliable.

Small portions, mediocre French food and over priced. I would not return.

superb service, delicious food, great value and lovely atmosphere

Very busy as near lots of London night life. Great food, good size portions and good value for money.

Unfortunately my main meal was tepid and had to be sent back. In the meantime the vegetables cooled as well. Had to wait whilst rest of the table ste their food. Had to ask for side orders which they seemed to have forgotten. Not as good as Cote Brasserie.

All excellent - great value for money with 50% off. But - 17.5% service charge was an unexpected ‘surprise’! Think this is just a bit too much. Other than this I would have given 5 stars.

We had a lovely dinner at Boulevard Brasserie yesterday. All of our choices were great. Will definitely be back. The ambiance is warm and inviting too

Always enjoy going there and will continue to visit in the future

A lovely restaurant in a great location . Friendly and efficient service, delicious food, good menu and great ambiance.

Amazing service and food! Would bring my mom here!

I've been here a few times and this place has never let me down. The food is good and the place has a lovely atmosphere.

My experience was lovely, the waiter was kind and helpful plus cracked the odd joke which was nice and lightened the mood even more, professionally let us try the wine before choosing. The noise level is good everyone in the restaurant was very respectful and there was a good overall vibe. My girlfriend and I were delighted with the food I had the lamb shank and she had the fillet steak both 10/10 however we indulged in a sticky toffee pudding which was cold and honestly looked as though it was store bought. Overall it was a lovely experience and I would visit again

very quick service, great food, great place ... will gone back again

The noise level reflected some of the clients and was not the restaurant’s fault. Nice as always and good value.
