About Bistro Boulevard

Avalon’s enduring bastion of classic French dining delivers candlelit warmth and time-honoured bistro craft without leaving the coast. Dark timber, vintage posters, and shelves lined with wine set an intimate, unhurried room run on a steady two-sitting cadence. Patrons pack the tables for rich duck confit, garlicky escargots, and prime steak frites crowned with herb butter alongside crisp golden frites, before rounding off the table with a warm cheese soufflé.

  • Decades of Bistro Classics: The kitchen stays loyal to traditional recipes refined over thirty years, from duck confit to snails and bouillabaisse, accompanied by a daily rotating Plât du Jour.
  • Candlelit Parisian Ambiance: Low-lit tables, dark timber, and vintage posters create an intimate, atmospheric setting suited for dates and celebrations.
  • Dedicated Evening Sittings: Dinner operates across two set nightly sittings, alongside weekend and Friday lunch service.

Reasons to Dine at Bistro Boulevard

Why locals and visitors choose Bistro Boulevard for authentic French dining, special occasions, and intimate evenings in Avalon.

  • Time-Honoured Parisian Bistro Repertoire

    Bistro Boulevard prepares time-honoured classics like steak frites with herbed butter, duck confit, escargot, and soufflés, complemented by a daily rotating Plât du Jour.

    I love the Steak Frites, Moules and delicious snails… the chocolate mousse is pretty good too. There is a Plât du Jour daily and it’s always fabulous!

  • Dedicated Destination for Celebrations

    Operating two evening sittings alongside lunch sessions, the dining room regularly hosts birthdays, anniversaries, and family celebrations with attentive hospitality.

    Whenever we want to celebrate something this is our first choice on the Northern Beaches.

  • Parisian Dining on the Northern Beaches

    Located right in Avalon village, the bistro delivers the flavours, warmth, and ambience of Paris to the Northern Beaches without needing to cross the bridge.

    Not being an Avalon local - I was blown away by this beautiful Bistro that serves authentic French food & transports you to Paris at the same time.
