Boulebar Spitalfields is a French inspired restaurant and pétanque venue at 7 Frying Pan Alley. The two storey setting contains ten indoor gravel courts, turning a meal into a social activity while remaining practical throughout the changing London weather.
Food draws on the cafés and bistros of southern France, with cheese and charcuterie boards designed for sharing. Artichoke dip, chickpea fritters and vegetables offer a meat free alternative, while mussels in white wine, steak with fries and other classics provide more substantial choices.
Group packages combine time on the court with a structured meal, and the kitchen also serves diners who visit primarily for food or drinks. Seasonal dishes and desserts add range, with citrus cream, berries, meringue and almonds offering a bright finish after richer savoury plates.
French wine, beer, cider and playful cocktails accompany the food and the game. Boulebar is particularly well suited to friends and work groups who want an interactive evening, but the restaurant element is substantial enough for guests who would rather watch the competition from the table.
