Boulevard Brasserie in City of London, Westminster

They really know how to do pre-theatre well. Food is nicely done, comes quickly, attentive service throughout, great value. Very accommodating to our access requirements (there are tables on the ground floor though the toilets are in the basement reached only by stairs, and they have a ramp to get over the step at the entrance).

An amazing place for dinner! The food and service were fantastic, all helped by Emanuelle's amazing service. Grazie mille! The steak tartare was a particular highlight, not to mention the rack of Lamb. Definitely worth a visit!

A lovely place. Having been really disappointed by another restaurant (who suggested we sit outside at a table under heat lamps after we'd booked a table indoors) this homely "Cafe Rouge" style brasserie immediately showed us to an available table in their spacious restaurant. Portions a little on the small side, but very tasty and happy to adapt their menu to suit your individual preferences. Great staffing & good experience throughout.

What a great place for a pre theatre meal. The Prix Fixe menu was excellent and the waiter was was very attentive. Book this place.

You pay the price of being so near Covent Garden and in Theatreland, obviously, but still we expected better for this price. The salmon was amazing, but the rissoto was really, really bland and the baked brie tasted of cheap brie and was way too fatty. Additionally, the glassware was stained and not properly cleaned, though that did add to the wonderful atmosphere.

A fabulous find when pounding. The streets are Covent Garden, fantastic food, brilliant atmosphere marvellous service

Very close to the Duchess Theatre where we were seeing a show. Nice evening so we opted for a table outside. We had the pre- theatre menu which was great value and drinks- beer and rosé. We both opted for the smoked salmon starter and the sea bass. We shared a dessert- a lovely baked cheesecake. Our waiter was great and looked after us well.

Bonne cuisine française. Plats élaborés avec soin et belle présentation avec fraîcheur des plats. Excellent tartare en entrée. Bœuf bourguignon à la hauteur. Service agréable. Point négatif: trop d’attente entre les plats.

This was a return visit and we were served again by the friendly waiter, Ronaldo, who deserves a special mention. The food and wine were top notch and we will be back for a further visit.

On the last day of our trip to London, we were looking for a place to have the traditional afternoon tea. Our eye fell on this little French bistro. The afternoon tea was more than we could have wished for. Amazing food, good tea and fairly priced. The staff was really friendly as well. Highly recommend!

lovely dinner at a reasonable price.

Booked for dinner on my wife's birthday purely by remembering it's location, very glad we did. A good range of dishes in the menu, nice drinks menu all at fair prices. Staff were attentive but not overly, great service and think we'll be going back again in the future.

With all the restaurant choices in London this is the one we have dinner at every night when we visit. It is in Covent Garden so a great venue to start off with, a lively atmosphere & the staff genuinely want to make your evening great. The food is delicious with a fantastic choice. Thanks to Esther for the lovely Kir Royals, to Dan for welcoming us back & to the new staff who are great...especially to the 3 from Paros! Hope to see you all very soon Paul & Sue Gillett Great Eccleston

Another great night at Boulevard Brasserie. Thank you. Went tonight with group of friends , again had a great time . Service was excellent.

We were meeting up with family who had arrived from Dublin. We booked up in advance a table for four adults on Thursday 28 March at 18:00. When we booked up we also requested the 50% food order they advertise if you have a minimum of two courses. This absolutely great value and all on the ala carte menu is included except the Lobster Thermador and Steaks which is understandable. With the 50% off food we saved £59:44 which is great value. Our total bill was £152:00 which included a 12.5% discretionary service charge of £23:49. Drinks we had 1x Bottle of Vigneron White Wine at £24:95 and 1x Bottle of Vigneron Red Wine at £24:95. We also had 2x 330ml Peroni at £11:50. Our Starters were all superb with:- Chicken Liver Parfait £8:95. Baked Brie £8:75. Prawn & Avocado Cocktail £9:95. Bread Tapenade £3:95. Our Mains were also just amazing:- Bouillabaisse £19:95. Seafood Linguine £19:95. 2x Chicken Wrapped in Bacon/Roquefort £18:95 each. To finish up two of us managed to have a dessert which again were very good:- Ice Cream/Sorbet £5:95. Apple Crumble with Cinnamon Ice Cream £7:45. We also had one flat white coffee £3:75. We would all find it very hard to find one negative with this place and it is certainly worth a visit. Booking in advance is a real must as it was very busy when we arrived. We had a terrific waiter Ronaldo S who even gave us all a free shot of tequila at the end of the evening. Thank you very much for a brilliant evening we will be back again when next up in London.

Service is very french, food is superb with good value for money!

The staff are so unbelievably rude and dismissive.

Not a great experience, we got seated right away but didn’t get any tea or food for a good half hour, like they forgot about us. The scones were good but the sandwiches were really wet, like they had been sitting out for a while

Love love love ❤️ this place! Came back for mother's day lunch and it was superb! Great atmosphere wonderful friends and family the food is first class .

We were well looked after, and compared to another nearby brasserie, the tables here are well spaced out.

Found this restaurant on trip advisor when looking for somewhere to have early lunch with my mum to end our weekend. We were not disappointed, the food selection was excellent, from the fixed price menu to the a la carte menu. We ate from the a la carte but could see the food that others were ordering and there were a few champagne afternoon teas and other fixed price menu food being served. The food we had was great and really food value for money. We had the Brie in filo pastry, then the halibut, then apple crumble and a chocolate tart, everything was delicious. The service was impeccable.

My five friends and I meet up a couple of times a year and have had some memorable lunches. One friend's partner recommended Boulevard Brasserie, it was new to us and we approached with caution. Unnecessary as the meal was excellent, great French cooking and wine charmingly presented by our waiter. Thoroughly recommended. Bon Appetit!

Thank you for catering to our large group of 25 plus. Amazing.

This has got to be one of the BEST restaurants I have been to. The staff are friendly, welcoming and accommodating. We had the set menu, which was INCREDIBLE!!! The food was outstanding (Especially the seabass)!! It was also fantastically priced. I am a coeliac, and the restaurant was able to fully cater to my needs. We were also given a complimentary glass of prosecco as we were celebrating our 10 year wedding anniversary. We will definitely be back!! Thank you to the staff for making our anniversary so special.

Great food and service Have been several times and will be heading back in the future

What a great find. We booked for a pre-theatre dinner great choice and some great money saving offers. Lovely cosy environment with good choice of food. Will definitely return

We really liked the foods and the waiters were so attentive. I would like to go there again!

We had lunch for three people on Sat 2nd March. We ate from the fixed price menu. Starters of filo baked brie, chicken liver parfait and salmon. We all had beef bourguignon, red wine, followed by Brandy Alexanders for dessert. All of the food was delicious and the service was excellent. Lovely friendly staff. We were told we had the table for two hours, but in fact it was three. We were not rushed out even when they did need the table. A very enjoyable lunch and afternoon.

After reading reviews decided to book for a pre theatre meal. We wasn’t disappointed Great restaurant so charming. Food excellent especially 2 courses for a fixed price great value. Staff friendly funny and totally professional especially Krenar

Picked this restaurant because it looked like the perfect venue for a date night and didn’t disappoint. Art deco style, make you feel like you’re actually in a Parisian Brasserie. Low level lighting makes it a very romantic setting. The food was absolutely Devine. Very tasty and the restaurant is not tight on the portions. Certainly great value for money. Drinks are reasonably priced as well. To accompany dessert we had an Espresso Martini and Chocolate Orange Fudge (the winner). Delicious and could smell the orange with every sip. Highly recommend this French Brasserie.

I visited last night for a "Timeleft" dinner. This is an app that connects you with strangers for dinner. Sounds odd but it was great. The company was fun, restaurant was beautiful, food was delicious, wine was supreme and the service was exceptional. Definitely a fantastic spot for dates and dinner with mates.

Very good food, and very good value for money

Nice place, nice waiter, but could not get my order right. The steak costed 27 £ and came out almost raw although i ordered medium well. The steak was also 50% fat and styrings. Half of the chips got soggy from the terrible steak and i discovered a piece of a wet reciept under my bernaisesauce. Not a visit i enjoyed.

Aiways excellent value and right in the centre of Covent Garden

Came here for a pre-show meal so didn’t want to overeat. Ordered seafood spaghetti and beef bourguignon. Both were tasty but the seafood spaghetti really stood out, probably one of the best I ever had. Prices were reasonable too.

I would love to review your food but we didn’t really get much. If you advertise yourself as having a pretheatre menu, you need to be geared up to get people fed before the all leg it out the door 15 mins before curtain up. Not tonight boulevard brasserie ! We got starters and a drink and had to leave. The people sat on the next table who arrived after us and ordered the same managed to get theirs. Why was it so difficult to serve us?

We went here for a pre-theatre meal to celebrate my daughter's birthday. The meal was delicious, we particularly enjoyed the wild mushroom risotto and salmon fishcake. The service was very attentive and they even added a candle to the dessert and sang happy birthday. It was great value on the 50% off deal but would have been worth it full price. Thanks again to the team for making us feel so welcome and even giving my daughter a birthday card.

Visited for the First time yesterday, and will be back again.food and service was very good. All five of us enjoyed the food and surroundings.very comfortable. Thank you

I visited for dinner before a theatre show at Royal Opera House and I had a wonderful time here. The staff are polite and attentive throughout. The selection and food was amazing. The atmosphere is also really unique and pleasant. I highly recommend and will definitely visit again.

Really great restaurant in central London. Have walked past this place many times but have been sceptical that maybe due to the amount of tourists the food wouldn’t be great. Finally tried it and was very surprised. Everything was amazing. Rib eye, onion soup, mussels especially. Look forward to returning soon

Lovely food at excellent prices and a warm atmosphere. A bit of a gem in terms of location and value for money and is definitely now on my list of "London go to's"

Great place for dining before/after a Theatre show. Lovely atmosphere. Needs better disabled facilities and access.

Charming place split over a couple of floors with very welcoming staff. Ideal for pre-theatre meal with an excellent value fixed price menu available too. Highly recommend.

Boulevards Brasserie is a culinary treasure nestled in London's vibrant West End. From the moment we stepped in, we were captivated by the elegance of the place. Our meal was nothing short of extraordinary, with the mouthwatering Cote de Boeuf and the delicate Sea Bass Fillet stealing the show. And let's not forget about the divine cheesecake dessert! The attentive service only added to the perfection of our experience. For a taste of authentic French cuisine served with flair, Boulevard Brasserie is the place to be.

Good find during Covid restrictions. But now our go-to when we're in West End. Staff always friendly. Food never disappoints. Value for money given location excellent.

Good food- quality but mean on quantity. It took quite a long time to be served, misunderstanding when placing an order.... I thought i ordered 2 x steak and chips but arrived only 1 potion... 3 mains 2 starters, olives and bread , 1 glass of wine, Pepsi max, juice and water... including service £95... fills a bit stip - or just me?? The pre theatre menus is nice and tasty ..

The absolute best French onion soup 😍

Service was slow, and it was difficult to attract a waiter. When the bill came they had added 12.5% service but the card machine asked for a tip as well ... I think they should ask for one or the other, but not both.

I rarely post reviews but this time I had to. My friend and I had such a nice time..The staff were very friendly and welcoming. The food and tea was delicious and prosecco was lovely. 100% recommended this place! We are definitely going back :)

Had a pre-theatre meal here. Was good and good value. Very friendly service which means a lot!

Afternoon Tea. It took 40 mins before we were served a pot of tea, which was half full and lukewarm. We asked for a full pot of hot tea, they then served a full pot of tea (for two people) with only one tea bag, so it was very weak. They apologised and brought a decent pot of tea. At the 60 minute point we were discussing whether we should leave. Shortly after we received the scones and small cakes, but had to wait a further 5 minutes for the sandwiches, jam and cream. The sandwiches were small triangles on ordinary cheap bread. The cream portion was tiny - enough for 1 scone, we were given 4 scones so had to ask for more cream. The jam was more like runny syrup. The scones were all plain unlike the advertised fruit and plain. The other cakes were fine but tiny. This was our 2nd afternoon tea here. We enjoyed our 1st visit but after our 2nd experience we will not be returning.

Stunning place to eat. Delicious food, great ambience. Service was impeccable. Would definitely go back.

I decided to book here after reading the many positive Tripadvisor reviews. I was so glad I did because lunch turned out to be a really enjoyable experience. The restaurant has quite a bit of charm, and the staff are very friendly and accommodating. They take food allergies very seriously, and wanted to make sure there was absolutely no risk in what we ordered. The food was very good (the crème brûlée definitely deserves a mention). We look forward to returning soon.

Amazing night. Thank you Boulevard Brasserie!!!!! Great food, great service . What more can you ask ? Very busy , no wonder why.

I ate there and was very well received, the food is excellent and the service is friendly and professional, if you are in the area I highly recommend it

The food was fine, but overall We were disappointed. The meal Started with a disinterested host who seated us in a deserted basement dining room. The table was set with a large paper napkin. The waitress was pleasant, but the experience was underwhelming and we will not be back when there are so many other options for French food in London.

Very good experience to have food with friends in London.

Lovely lunch with friendly service. We had baked brie, soup, seabass & sides. All were delicious and the fish was cooked perfectly. We now know why this place is always busy when we walk past. We will definitely be back.

Had such a lovely time.. the staff were so friendly and attentive. They cater for me who was vegan and gluten free and everything was wonderful and very reasonable for Covent garden! 100% recommended.

Wouldn’t consider anywhere else when going to a West End show. Cosy, welcoming, great staff with an excellent pre-theatre menu. Wine is sensibly priced. Very popular which tells its own story.

Very good evening meal after theatre matinee. Would recommend booking in advance to guarantee a table. The mussel frites and steak frites were both very good. The wild mushrooms in balsamic were very tasty as a side dish

Amazing French bistro. Atmosphere is great, servers are charming and the food is incredible. The mussels are absolutely insane. The sauce was the best I’ve ever had. I ordered the bread as well to dip in the sauce. Would definitely recommend ordering this, it is a perfect meal. My friends enjoyed their duck confit and chicken Milanese as well.

Delicious dinner at this lovely French restaurant, we really enjoyed the burrata and bread as a starter and a lovely boeuf bourguignon for dinner. Very flavoursome and good portion size. Great location in Covent Garden, close to the main shops and theatres.

Quick lunch before matinee. 2 course fixed priced menu, £17.95. Food alright but somewhat lukewarm.

Me ha encantado el sitio, la comida ya la conocía ya q pertenece a una cadena de braserie

Another thoroughly enjoyable evening meal on New Year’s Eve. Attentive staff who took the time to take our order in what was a very busy restaurant. Atmosphere was excellent. Food was of a good standard and brought to the table with no waiting time. Although there’s many restaurants in and around Covent Garden, its unique environment and setting makes it well worth a visit. We’ll be back.

Un bon repas de pris en passant ce midi !

Great value fixed price menu, tasty food and good portions. Good service. Didn’t feel rushed. Great value for Covent Garden

Staff extremely rude and abrupt.

We had a table booked for 19.15 but had to join a queue of people who were waiting to be shown to their tables and were eventually seated at 19.45! The waitress took our order which we deliberately kept very simple but, not only did...

Booked here for a pre theatre meal. Went for the set menu. Food was nice and good value for money and a decent portion size. Toilets were also very clean which is always a good sign. Would eat here again.

We came here on Wednesday for our staff Christmas lunch. I had the Brie in pastry, the turkey dinner and lemon sorbet and I have to say everything I ate was so tasty. Amazing value, three courses for £29.95! The staff were lovely, the two gentlemen we dealt with were great! They helped us carry out our secret Santa as well. We were sat downstairs, I have never been before but I will certainly be going back if I am ever eating in Covent Garden again!

I had lunch with 3 colleagues And I will absolutely suggest to other people The restaurant is pretty much cool. The atmosphere is very genuine,friendly and the food was absolutely delicious. Besides I wanna spend a few words to our waiter who looked after us in way Which I really appreciated( I have never seen a waiter splitting a ceasar salad for his guests) service impeccable and outstanding. See you soon

When we arrived at the restaurant, the outside was very deceiving. It looked almost like a café inside. The restaurant went up for miles with an upper floor, lower floor and floor. For starter, we got a variety of different things however, it took a...

In a typically busy tourist area, Covent Garden , we didn't expect much but booked at short notice as it was only place available on a Sunday evening in the area. Got to our table after a 5 minute wait , nice spot near the...

We had a Christmas Dinner of 14 people, but we had two separate tables and no one informed us when booked or after that we will be separate. The food was great, but half of it was late (veggies and potatoes for sea bass fillet), we all finished fish and then veggies and potatoes arrived, again staff didn’t inform us that we will have this an extra on the menu. (It was late around 10 min). We asked to put the Christmas music louder, and staff kept saying ok and never did. Very tight space, but overall since we were in a good mood, we didn’t really let things affect us. But staff could improve.

A bit disappointed overall, Waiter was very nice though to be fair. Didn’t have the wine we ordered, ordered a 2016 Bordeaux costing £75, we ended up with a much later and cheaper bottle - didn’t taste great (2020) but still got charged the full...

I have never in my whole life experienced such awful customer service! We arrived early and our table wasn’t ready so sat outside and ordered a bottle of wine, this took nearly half an hour by which time we were asked to go to our...

The food was excellent but the staff were extremely unfriendly… no manners… arguing among themselves like spoilt kids …but they are French after all so what do you expect However, go if you want a nice meal in a rushed and unfriendly environment….then had the...

Pretty place just outside of Covent Garden Piazza. The food was amazing. It was packed on a Friday night but our dishes still all came in a timely manner and staff were very pleasant and attentive. Good spot for date night

Would not recommend this place as it's very expensive and the staff were quite dismissive, once your order been taken you had to chase for drinks, staff did not check on you. French onion soup tasteless doesn't taste any stock it was like warm water with some steamed onion. Food took ages! Better to go Cote at the corner at least they are smiling. Managers just taking care of regulars with bookings not paying attention to any other customers.

A catchup lunch with friends, we have been before as the set menu offers excellent value and also occasionally there are other offers online e.g. 50% 0ff! House wine is reasonably priced. Service is good. N.B. it gets very busy and quite noisy at this...

Lovely place but they overdid it with the salt on our Burrata and in my partner’s Cassoulet although generally he liked the way it was cooked. My fish Parmentier was delicious but would have been better with more fish. Service was exemplaire!

Given a table immediately right in front of the bar on a very busy Saturday, early evening. However, we were just left for quite a while before eventually being served. Our fish & chips arrived before the drinks but looked nice. The waitress asked if we would like a fork to eat dinner with as the table was only laid with a knife & serviette. The small side salad did not arrive with the mains. Eventually coming when we were 3/4's way through dinner. Food was nice & drinks fine, although no additional service was received at all. Asked for the bill & got given the wrong one, which was significantly more than our bill. The waitress apologised then went off to serve some other people. Overall a very odd restaurant with awful service.

Accueil expéditif, le service laisse à désirer, nous avons attendu qu'il vienne prendre la commande du dessert en vqin, la nourriture acceptable et sans plus. Et puis l'endroit est bruyant surtout que nous avons été placé dans une sorte de couloir. Passez votre chemin.

A great pre theatre menu, bustling French restaurant, fast but friendly service (we had an older guy who was v funny!) and really delicious food! Highly recommend. Salmon & celeriac starter, sea bass and cheesecake all delicious!

Upon arrival, our experience was marred by staff engaging in casual conversations instead of promptly welcoming customers. Regrettably, our wait for a table was prolonged, and the unfriendly demeanor of the staff was disheartening, prompting us to leave. Despite acknowledging the bustling nature of central London and the restaurant's public day, we expect professionalism in service. We value a dining environment that prioritizes customer comfort, and regrettably, this experience fell short of our expectations, leading us to reconsider future visits.

Food here was quite tasty! I had a white fish in a butter sauce with capers which was very nice. We got a side of potato dauphinois which I found to be a bit greasy, but otherwise very tasty. The service was quite slow but they seemed to be quite busy

This restaurant never fails to impress. The best value in the locality, food always goo. I have introduced many people to this restaurant and many have returned time and again

Overall a very bad experience. Service was friendly but painfully slow. Firsts took about an hour and seconds very long too. Hamburger was completely burned, not even Well Done, I mean completely charred. Minute Steak was dry and the rest of the food was okay if I am really trying to put it mildly. I would say stay away.

Took my daughter for high tea was lovely little brasserie and good location

Just had a pleasant meal here but we were told that we only had the table until 3. OO pm which was not advised on booking. At 2. 30 we were reminded again we only had the table until 3.00 . Then again at 2 50 we were told again although we had already paid the bill. This rude attitude spoilt the whole occasion!!!

Sat down at 7pm and at 8.30 we had to ask where our food was. The waiter was very apologetic but the chap in a suit who seemed to be a manager didn’t even bother to come to apologise for the delay. A small glass...

Had an early dinner after our matinee and were able to avail of the set menu. £17.95 for 2 courses. Fabulous value for money for 2 delicious courses, fantastic service and great location right in Covent Garden

My prawn cocktail looked like a collection of bits from other people’s plates. My steak frites was awful. Cold chips. Chewy and gristly meat. Overpriced, even for that area. Avoid.

Ticked all the right boxes. We had the theatre menu, which has a good choice. The celeriac soup was particularly good. Lovely staff too.

I booked this restaurant thru Open Table for the many good reviews it had. It was a short walk from our hotel and we were very much looking forward to our meal. Big mistake! We decided to order the chateaubriand steak for 2, it came...

Lots of good points to write about at this resteraunt but unfortunately,having visited previously,on this particular occassion the quality of the meat in the Beefbourgineon was well below standard--tough with gristle and probably not the resteraunts fault but perhaps the butcher who supplies them-everything else...

We visited this restaurant on Saturday night before going to see Mamma Mia at the Novello Theatre which is very close by. We were a party of 7 and we had a great experience. The food was absolutely delicious and well-priced. The service was fantastic....
