What to Eat at La Brasserie Sur Le Boulevard How we choose these items We use AI to find praise and criticism of specific foods and drinks in a selection of Google reviews. For La Brasserie Sur Le Boulevard, this list is based on 50 reviews, not every review of the restaurant. The score is positive reviews minus negative reviews. For example, two positive reviews and one negative review give +1. Each review counts once per item; neutral comments do not change the score. A zero score is not a positive recommendation. “Only neutral feedback” means there are no positive or negative votes. “Mixed feedback” means equal numbers of positive and negative votes. The quotes are examples of what people said, not every comment we counted. We use different reviews where we can. We normally show up to 10 foods and 5 drinks with non-negative scores. Items with the same score stay together. If a tied group would go past the limit, that group and the lower non-negative scores go into Honorable mentions. If an overflowing positive top tie would leave the list empty, we show up to 10 items from that tie and keep the rest in Honorable mentions. Foods and drinks with a negative score are under What to Avoid. Use this as a guide to what reviewers liked, not a guarantee that you will like it too.
Foods and drinks mentioned in reviews of La Brasserie Sur Le Boulevard, ranked by positive reviews minus negative reviews. Zero-score items have no net positive feedback; their labels distinguish neutral-only from mixed feedback.

Tips for a Better Visit
Brunch Timing. For the brunch schedule cited in a review, arrive between 1 and 4pm; smooth sax was expected around 2.30pm.
Smoking Check. If dining with children, ask about terrace smoking arrangements before booking, as one Christmas brunch had cigar smoke.
Brunch Style. Choose this brunch for crafted French flavours and ambience, not an enormous Ewaan-style spread.
Arrival Plan. Allow extra time for the approach, since one visitor found traffic, parking or accessibility tricky.
Valet Parking. Valet is available, which may make a hotel visit easier if driving.

The Bottom Line
La Brasserie Sur Le Boulevard is a modern French restaurant in Downtown Dubai, inside Kempinski, with elegant indoor seating and a terrace overlooking Burj Khalifa. It suits a leisurely brunch, a quiet business lunch or dinner built around dishes such as roasted sea bass, beef tartar and Wagyu tenderloin with foie gras and truffle mashed potato. Saturday brunch is the big attraction.
Reviews mention seafood on ice, oysters, scallops, foie gras, fine cheeses, live grill stations, pasta made in a parmesan wheel and a liquid nitrogen ice cream station. The spread is described as quality-led rather than an Ewaan-style buffet, so come for crafted French flavours and atmosphere rather than sheer volume. 30pm.
Service is usually warm, professional and attentive, while breakfast regulars also praise the coffee and buffet. Valet is available, although one visitor found traffic, parking or access tricky. It is not consistently easy-going for families: a Christmas brunch guest reported cigar smoke on the open-air terrace, no effective management response and uncooked grilled meat and seafood.
Prices run high, though one older review mentioned brunch from 250 dirhams and another found the business lunch well-priced. Check current hours and smoking arrangements before booking.
