Boulevard

Unforgettable Roast Potatoes & Classic Atmosphere!

You can't mention South Croydon's culinary scene without tipping your hat to Boulevard, a restaurant that has woven itself into the fabric of this charming locale. On my recent visit, I was transported back to a classic setting—one where good food and genuine hospitality are celebrated in equal measure. The ambiance was warm and welcoming, much like the grinning staff who clearly love what they do, and it’s not hard to see why this place holds the steadfast love of its patrons. While sipping on a thoughtfully selected wine from their extensive list, I couldn't help but soak in the blend of joy and laughter that filled the air—a testament to the fantastic vibes cultivated here.

The menu, time-honored and vast enough to cater to any palate, delivers solidly on flavor and satisfaction. As an admitted connoisseur of potatoes, I can vouch for those adorning their famed Sunday roast—they're indeed out of this world, mirroring all the pillow-like crispiness you dream they might be. Perhaps the ribs stole the show and surely your stomach after such hearty consumption, but it’s their attention to detail and zest for community involvement that really desserts the standing ovation. A minor quibble could perhaps be made for the occasional inconsistency, as revealed by persnickety previous diners, but Boulevard's heart remains unswerving: mighty fine food, full-bellied camaraderie, and remarkably great value for your coin in the merry corners of suburban London. Do make sure you leave room for the complimentary drop of brandy on the way out—a small, nostalgic nod to the sentiment we always cherish going forward. — Milo Tastemaker
