Le Boulevarde French Restaurant
Editorial
The salmon pink frontage of Le Boulevard has warmed Avalon village for as long as most people can remember. It has withstood the busy summers when holiday houses are rented out to city folk happy to eat out every night, and the frosty winters when the majority of diners are locals in need of a delicate coq au vin or a warming rack of lamb with mustard. French food is not easy to cook, many dishes are labour intensive and require expensive ingredients, so it is easy to justify eating out at Le Boulevard as often as you can afford.
The French menu is very traditional, the entrees consisting mainly of light salads such as Caesar salad, salad Nicoise or the interesting champignons a la greque (raw mushrooms, sliced onions, shredded parsley and French dressing). All the main courses are served with generous sides of fresh vegetables and potatoes, and the specials board is where you can catch the season's best produce in French attire. In summer that might mean a dish of fresh figs served with prosciutto and gorgonzola sauce, or perhaps a plate of roast duck with sweet cherry sauce. Le Boulevard is a sweet, romantic restaurant with good service and food worth mulling over.
