BRASSERIE LE BOULEVARD - Fribourg

Unfriendly waiter and unprofessional service. Delicious steak but burgers not up to par, resembling sausage meat, probably frozen. We will not return there.

Sehr stimmig im Bistrotstil eingerichtetes Restaurant. Der Service war zu Beginn leider nicht ganz auf der Höhe. Es dauerte sehr lang bis wir bestellen konnten. Zur Vorspeise assen wir "Foie gras poelé", exzellent! Zur Hauptspeise gab es ein wunderbares, gut abgehangenes Entrecôte. Selten so gutes und auch zartes Schweizer Rindfleisch gegessen. Dazu wurden Pommes Frites und grilliertes Gemüse serviert. Das Gemüse war leider nicht ganz auf dem Level der anderen Speisen und die Service-Angestellte fragte erst nach, ob wir mehr Pommes Frites wollten, als wir gerade den letzten Bissen Fleisch assen. Darum nur vier anstatt fünf Punkte.

We went to this restaurant on a Thursday evening... We were greeted with a suspicious look by a waitress asking us if we had a reservation. We were impressed: wow, this place must be popular... We were told to sit at a table that was...not set and was near the kitchen. So far, no problem. We did not have reservations, after all. And then, we waited. Finally, we were able to order an aperitif while looking at the menu. And then, we waited... After some time twiddling our thumbs, we ordered entrecotes. And then, we waited... The steaks ultimately arrived; nothing special, just a plain steak swimming in way too much beurre cafe de Paris. We finished our meal and wanted to order some dessert. So, we waited... We ordered a creme brulee. And we waited. That creme brulee was actually tasteless. I don 't know how a restaurant can screw up a creme brulee... So we decided to pay and go... And we waited, and waited. The restaurant was far from full. But the waiter and waitress were rushing around paying little attention to us. We asked ourselves if we actually had turned invisible... Finally, we were freed, thank God! This was not a terrible, awful, no good experience. It was just a profound disappointment. Mediocre food at an extravagant price.

We had dinner here on a Saturday night. The place was packed and really bustling. However, the service was excellent and friendly. No stress. The food was also very good. I had mushroom risotto followed by sausage and chips. The risotto was crunchy and very...tasty. Then a single, large sausage home made? came with great, thin chips. My wife had a nice fresh salad and then a risotto with quail legs. Excellent. Good wines too. Great sorbet and creme brûlée to finish. Very good indeed.

Good steak but little quantity at this price (cheaper elsewhere). Exaggerated dessert prices. CHF 16.50. gourmet coffee with tasteless crème brûlée. Lack of taste for the soft chocolate too. The meal was generally good but average value for money.
