Excellent food in a lovely, calm, but interesting space. Quiet enough for a good conversation with older people, but with a little background music for ambience. I loved the curved booths and the view of St Pancras. A hidden gem!

Boulevard Brasseries is my go to place in central London. It provides great value, excellent service and the food is always good. They are very good at sensing the pace one wants and I am never rushed if I want a leisurely paced Lunch or Dinner

Excellent - lovely atmosphere, great quick service and delicious food. We went in for a lunch for two - the place was beautifully decorated and looked a real treat. I ordered steak frites and it was honestly one of the loveliest steaks I have eaten in a while. My friend had moules frites. It arrived super fast but was so good. Lovely wine too. Price was fair and offered good value.

Incredibly thoughtful, delicious seasonal food. Have wanted to visit for a while, it was a perfect place to celebrate our anniversary. It is expensive but very well worth it. The wine pairing matched our dishes superbly and enabled us to try new wines rather than old favourites.

It was my wife's birthday and we needed someone fairly close after the Spurs! We arrived at 8:30 for our reservation at 9pm so had a nice drink out on the side terrace. All our food was amazing. My Soufle starter, incredible and then the Fillet Steak, beautifully cooked medium rare and served with a very generous portion of lovely French Fries. My Cherry Chocolate mousse was gorgeous too! My wife enjoyed all her dishes too. It was a lovely evening. The restaurant was packed, although it was a Saturday night. We both had 3 courses. A lovely half bottle of Macon Villages at £29 and a bottle of red for about £40. It came to alot but we enjoyed it all! Will bring the family for lunch next time...
