BRASSERIE LE BOULEVARD - Fribourg

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.

The waiter put us at a table in the middle of other customers and there was too much noise!!! When we arrived we barely heard the waiter who told us to go to the table. We couldn't talk because we didn't get along! You could have placed us at a table a little further away knowing there was plenty of room. The staff was friendly. We took their specialty. The starter salad was good. The buttered steak with fries was good but too salty and there wasn't a single vegetable with the main course! Never seen that! Otherwise the toilets were clean and the building magnificent.

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