Care for a culinary trip round the Boulevard?

? Where do you go when you’re craving comfort food with a whole lot of flavor? This week, we found the answer at Boulevard. With an all-encompassing menu filled to the brim with all sorts of appetizers, pastas, sandwiches, and mains, we gave Cairo’s and the North Coast’s Boulevard a shot — and we left with happy stomachs.

Oftentimes, when visiting a restaurant and finding that their menu has everything but the kitchen sink, you might worry. At restaurants that don’t have a clear-cut specialty, things can get a little bit messy, but Boulevard proves that notion wrong. While offering a slew of different dishes, the restaurant nails everything down to a tee. The menu has a little bit of everything to cater to all sorts of appetites — we’re talking buffalo chicken casseroles and schnitzels all the way to smoked salmon pizzas and chicken mushroom pastas.

We were in the mood for sandwiches, and they didn’t disappoint. We went for the steak BBQ sandwich, the salmon avo sandwich, the truffle mac and cheese, and a set of mojitos — mango and strawberry to be precise. Not to sound hyperbolic, but the sandwiches were perhaps among the best we’ve ever tried. Both checked all the boxes in terms of flavor and filling, with the steak BBQ being seasoned to perfection. The salmon was as fresh as can be, and the side of salad made for a filling meal.

We might have overestimated our appetites, but we still had room for the mac and cheese. The truffle was striking, but in no way overpowering. The mojitos were a little on the sweeter side, however, so if you’re monitoring your sugar intake, we’d suggest sitting them out. All in all, we’d definitely recommend trying out the sandwiches, but if they’re anything to go by, we’d give the main platters a shot — which we’ll definitely be going back for.

Dine in at any of Boulevard’s branches in Cairo or on the North Coast. Boulevard has branches in New Cairo, New Giza, and Shorouk, as well as the North Coast at Playa, Seashell, and Caesar. You can also order from Talabat.
