Boulon Brasserie and Bakery - Tampa (FL)

5 /5 M. H.: Sooo Boulon made for such a lovely solo lunch and reading spot! I grabbed a seat at the bar with my book to enjoy a cocktail and some lunch. The bartender was really nice and checked on me often, and all the bartenders seemed to be in great spirits, you could tell they were enjoying their day. The restaurant has a bright, open feel that’s super inviting. I really enjoyed my meal, everything tasted fresh and well-prepared. I’ll definitely have to come back to try more from the menu! What I ordered: Steak Tartare = Tasty! Snapper Amandine = Light and fresh

5 /5 Neil Fox: oulon Brasserie is an easy win for a casual dinner night. Walked in on a Tuesday and snagged a beautiful outdoor table—great ambiance, zero stress. Service was solid. Our waitress was straight to the point, super chill, and refreshingly honest. No fluff, just facts. East + West Coast oysters? Awesome. The blue crab beignets lived up to the hype—absolute highlight. The scallop risotto was… ehhh. Flavor was there, execution not quite. Risotto texture missed the mark, which hurt my feelings a little. Steak frites were a win, and swapping fries for carrots was the right call (highly recommend). No drinks this round, but I’m confident they’d be a vibe. Would come back, would order even smarter next time.

5 /5 Esmeralda Ortiz palacios: Of French origin, we decided to go last night and drive an hour to come to this restaurant for the first time with our one-month-old baby to celebrate our anniversary. I just want to say everything was perfect. The food was delicious, and as a great connoisseur of the typical French dish, beef tartare, I particularly loved this one; it had a unique flavor. I had a wonderful time. The waitress, Ketlyn, and her assistant were fantastic, very kind and attentive. Thank you so much. A small note about the fries: they arrived cold. They should make an effort to improve that. Otherwise, everything was perfect, and of course, I finished with the profiteroles, my favorites.

4 /5 Alberto Guzman: Really enjoyed this place, the food was delicious and the service was spot‑on. The “Le Burger” was one of the highlights for me, super tasty, even though I expected a bit more meat in them. Still worth trying. Also, the onion soup is an absolute must; definitely one of the best I’ve ever tasted. They also make some great drinks, The French Martini, in particular, was wonderful and paired nicely with the meal. A couple of things to keep in mind, for example, the menu is a bit limited for me, and prices lean toward the higher side. Also, if you’re seated near the east‑facing windows in the afternoon, be ready you could face some strong sunlight because there are no shades, and that, can get uncomfortable. Reservations are highly recommended, as the place fills up fast specially around noon. Parking is easy in the area, with plenty of pay‑by‑hour spots and some fixed daily rates that might be a better deal depending on how long you plan to explore the neighborhood.

5 /5 Alexus Tang: I had a great experience here! We sat on the patio for dinner and it was a really nice ambience. The French martini was definitely the best cocktail we tried - the pineapple adds a nice taste. They’re known for their blue crab beignets, and I really liked them - they were soft and had a delicious flavour. I also loved the scallop risotto - it was cooked very well and I would definitely recommend it!
