Looking for the best places to eat in Boulogne-Billancourt? This guide written by a local chef who has lived here for more than 8 years, covers the top local restaurants, bakeries, cafés, markets and hidden foodie spots where locals actually eat, drink and shop.
A Food Lover’s Guide to Boulogne-Billancourt
More than eight years ago, before my daughter was born, I moved in with my Parisian wife in Boulogne-Billancourt, unsure if I had made the right decision. I longed for the romantic streets of Paris, the energy of the city, the feeling of being at the heart of it all. Instead, I found myself here — a town that felt big yet strangely familiar, where the cafés weren’t filled with tourists, but with regulars who knew each other by name.
But then, something happened. I started recognising the faces behind the counters, the butchers at the market, the bakers who’d nod when they saw me coming. Walking through the streets of Boulogne-Billancourt became a ritual — past the early morning markets, through bakeries that smelled of butter and tradition, and into bistros where families gathered around steaming plates.
I had fallen in love. Not just with the town itself, but with its food culture. The more I explored, the more I realised that some of the best places to eat in Boulogne-Billancourt are tucked away in neighbourhood bistros, family-run pizzerias, bustling markets, tiny coffee counters, and speciality food shops that locals swear by.
Unlike the more tourist-driven parts of central Paris, Boulogne-Billancourt is where food is still made for the people who actually live here. Where quality matters more than hype. Where if a restaurant survives longer than six months, it is probably doing something right.
So if you’re a food lover looking for a side of Paris where real life happens, where meals are made for locals rather than influencers, and where you’ll find some of the best restaurants, bakeries, markets, cafés and hidden foodie spots in Boulogne-Billancourt — welcome to Boulbi.

Boulogne-Billancourt: Paris’s Best-Kept Foodie Secret
Boulogne-Billancourt is not just another Parisian suburb. This is a town of makers, engineers, entrepreneurs and hungry locals with opinions.
Renault built cars here. Early aircraft factories helped shape French aviation here. Today, the town is home to major companies and institutions including TF1, Renault, Alpine, LVMH, the Michelin Guide, Yoplait, advertising agencies and international organisations. That mix of industry, money, media and local family life creates a very particular food culture.
One restaurant owner explained it to me beautifully in my first year living here:
“You have to understand; Boulogne is where Parisians live, work and fuck, but to go out to party, they prefer Paris.”
Crude? Yes. Accurate? Also yes.
Boulogne-Billancourt is not trying to be a party town. It is a town where people live well. Office workers need proper lunches. Families need restaurants that don’t panic at the sight of a pushchair. Well-heeled locals want good wine, proper bread, serious fish, and bistros where the waiter knows their usual.
It also has that entrepreneurial edge. This is the town that helped shape modern French food brands like Michel et Augustin — playful, ambitious, slightly cheeky, and very French in its belief that a biscuit can become a business empire.
The result? A food scene that is less about tourist theatre and more about daily pleasure. The good stuff is not always obvious. Some of it is chic. Some of it is noisy. Some of it is standing at a market counter with a coffee in your hand while locals gossip around you.
That is exactly why I love it.

Best Bakeries and Pâtisseries in Boulogne-Billancourt
Before we get into the good stuff, a warning: Boulogne-Billancourt has its fair share of chain bakeries. You’ll find Paul, Le Grenier à Pain and others scattered around town. They’ll do in an emergency, but they are not why you came to France.
If you want the real pleasure of Boulogne’s bakery scene — proper bread, beautiful pastries, weekend queues, and the faint smell of butter seducing you from three streets away — these are the places to know.
Also worth noting: bakeries in Boulogne generally do not close for lunch. There is far too much lunchtime trade. What you do need to watch out for is Sunday. Some bakeries close, and the good ones that stay open often have queues around the corner as locals pick up pastries for family lunch.
Prego – The Newcomer Already Making Noise
Address: 208 Boulevard Jean Jaurès, 92100 Boulogne-Billancourt
Why go?
Prego opened recently and has already become one of those places locals whisper about with the manic energy of people who have found a good lunch formula and don’t want it ruined by queues.
It uses organic sourdough flour, has a sweet counter worth loitering over, and leans into Italian-inspired savoury options: pizzas, focaccias, sandwiches and hot dishes made fresh in the morning. The lunch formula stays under €13, which around Marcel Sembat is frankly a tiny miracle.
What to order:
- Cookie-brownie
- Focaccia or pizza for lunch
- Whatever viennoiserie is looking particularly indecent that morning
Cerise – The Pâtisserie You Shouldn’t Miss
Address: 12 Rue de Billancourt, 92100 Boulogne-Billancourt
Why go?
Cerise is for when you want something more polished than your everyday croissant grab. This is a pâtisserie with finesse: delicate, pretty, controlled, and dangerous if you “just pop in for one thing.”
What to order:
- Tarte au citron
- Choux
- Seasonal fruit pastries
La Fromentine – Urban, Iconic and Unapologetically Boulogne
Address: 39 Rue de Paris, 92100 Boulogne-Billancourt
Why go?
La Fromentine is a chic urban bakery with a handful of sidewalk tables and a weekend queue that can stretch out the door and around the corner. It is known for fruit cakes, pastries, excellent bread and properly over-the-top birthday cakes for kids.
Their fraisier is one of the best in town. The bread is excellent. The pavement tables are handy if you want to sit for a moment. But be warned: the coffee is Nespresso hell, and the staff have the gruffness that comes from being underpaid, overworked and trapped behind a counter while half of Boulogne demands pastries for Sunday lunch.
You are not here for soft jazz and emotional validation. You are here for cake.
What to order:
- Fraisier
- Seasonal fruit tart
- Birthday cake if you want something joyfully ridiculous
Best Coffee in Boulogne-Billancourt
Let’s be honest. Boulogne-Billancourt is not a specialty coffee paradise.
There are plenty of places to get a coffee. Most of them serve traditional French espresso, often from Café Richard or similar mass-market blends. Sometimes that is exactly the vibe you want: a bitter little espresso, a zinc counter, the murmur of locals, and five minutes of pretending your life is a Nouvelle Vague film.
But if you care about coffee quality, there are only two places worth mentioning.
Cusuaka Cafés – The Only True Specialty Coffee Spot in Boulogne
Address: 8 Rue de l’Ancienne Mairie & 4 Rue Fessart, 92100 Boulogne-Billancourt
Why go?
Cusuaka is tiny, focused and genuinely special. It is run by a local couple: he is from Colombia and works directly with farmers to import the coffee, while she focuses on the roasting process and getting the best out of each bean.
That entrepreneurial, hands-on, traceable approach makes Cusuaka the only true specialty coffee spot in Boulogne-Billancourt. No fluff. No cake counter pretending to be a lifestyle brand. Just proper coffee made by people who care.
What to order:
- Flat white (its the best in boulbi)
- Coffee to take home as a souvenir
Café Armundo – The Market Coffee Experience
Location: Inside Marché Escudier and Marché Billancourt
Why go?
Café Armundo is not specialty coffee. It is something else entirely: a proper French market coffee experience.
There is no seating. You stand at the zinc bar, surrounded by locals, market bags, gossip and the low buzz of people who know exactly which fishmonger is worth their time that morning. Armundo is a genuinely lovely young guy, speaks English, and is happy to give advice if you need help navigating the market.
Tell him Tris sent you. If you’re lucky, he might even tell you whether he has spotted me that day.
What to order:
- Espresso
- Café allongé
- Local market gossip, if available
Where to Get the Best Chocolate in Boulogne-Billancourt
Boulogne-Billancourt has no shortage of chocolate. You’ll find the big names: Comptoir de Mathilde, Jeff de Bruges, Ducasse. You’ll find chocolates tucked into bakery counters. You’ll even find perfectly respectable boxes in supermarkets.
But if you want to go out of your way for the best chocolate in Boulogne-Billancourt, there is one place I’d send you.
La Petite Maison du Chocolat – The One Worth Making a Detour For
Address: 10 Rue de l’Ancienne Mairie, 92100 Boulogne-Billancourt (to verify)
Website: https://www.lespetitschocolatsmaison.com/
Why go?
This is the chocolatier for people who want more than a generic gift box. If you care about craft, flavour and giving chocolate the respect it deserves, this is the stop to make.
Boulogne may have plenty of places to buy chocolate, but La Petite Maison du Chocolat is the one that feels worth seeking out. It is the place to go when “fine, that’ll do” is not good enough.
What to buy:
- A box of assorted chocolates
- Seasonal creations
- Gifts that look like you made an effort because, for once, you actually did
Best Gastronomic Restaurants in Boulogne-Billancourt
For a town many visitors still treat as “just outside Paris,” Boulogne-Billancourt punches above its weight. It already has several restaurants recognised by the Michelin Guide, and that tells you something important: the local crowd is discerning, hungry and not easily impressed.
I still need to visit Planxa, Mano and the new chef at Baca’v Boulogne, but when I’m not watching my wallet, these are my choices for the best gastronomic restaurants in Boulbi.
Bonnotte – Refined, Seasonal and Quietly Brilliant
Full review: https://eatlikethefrench.com/bonnotte-boulogne-restaurant-review/
Why go?
Bonnotte is posh without being ridiculous. It has that polished, confident feel of a restaurant that knows exactly what it wants to be: seasonal, precise and elegant, but still local enough to avoid the theatrical nonsense of central Paris fine dining.
The cooking is refined and balanced, with dishes that make simple ingredients feel considered rather than tortured. It is the kind of place where you go for a grown-up meal, a proper bottle, and a reminder that Boulogne is not messing around.
What to order:
- Seasonal fish or seafood
- Anything built around vegetables and precise sauces
- A bottle that makes you behave slightly better than usual
La Machine à Coudes – French Fine Dining with Caribbean Roots
Address: Boulogne-Billancourt (please verify exact location)
Why go?
We first visited La Machine à Coudes by chance back when you still sat elbow-to-elbow at sewing machine tables. It was quirky, cramped and memorable in that very French way: half chaos, half charm.
Today it has a new location, a new chef, and a new energy. What makes it interesting is the fusion of French fine dining with the Caribbean roots of the head chef. Done badly, that could be gimmicky. Done well, it gives the food warmth, spice, rhythm and a sense of personality that many polished restaurants forget to have.
What to order:
- The tasting menu
- Fish or seafood with spice-led sauces
- Anything that shows the chef’s Caribbean influence
Bistrot Fanande – The Midweek Dinner That Turned Into a Crush
Address: Boulogne-Billancourt (please verify exact location)
Why go?
It was a cold January Monday night. We turned up at quarter to eight expecting a quiet evening at a restaurant we had wanted to try for ages. By 8:20, the place was full of greying locals who clearly knew exactly where they should be eating.
The waiter was alone, attentive, funny and completely in control. The food was a delight. The menu was small, the wines were delicious, and the whole thing had that rare feeling of a restaurant quietly doing everything right.
This is one of the best spots in Boulogne for a midweek dinner or lunch when you want something local, warm and properly cooked.
What to order:
- Whatever is on the short menu
- A wine recommendation
- Dessert, because the room will make you want to linger
Best Lunch Restaurants in Boulogne-Billancourt
Lunch in Boulogne-Billancourt is serious business. With so many offices, headquarters, agencies and workers nearby, the town has a strong midday rhythm. People need to eat well, quickly, and often without making a fuss about it.
If you’re wondering where to eat lunch in Boulogne-Billancourt, these are three local spots I actually trust.
Pousse Café – A True Boulogne Institution
Address: 28 Rue de l’Ancienne Mairie, 92100 Boulogne-Billancourt
Why go?
Pousse Café is not some polished minimalist bistro with a playlist and a PR strategy. It is an old-school, vintage-feeling neighbourhood brasserie with a packed canteen-like lunch service full of local office workers, served at speed by a greying team that knows exactly what it is doing.
It could just as easily appear in this guide as a top spot for an apéro, family food or a night out. It has that real old-school French vibe: good atmosphere, proper food, no nonsense.
I’d classify it as part of Boulbi’s cultural heritage. The kind of place you go once and immediately understand why locals return.
What to order:
- Plat du jour
- Steak frites
- A glass of wine and whatever the team tells you is good
Mon Bistrot – Traditional, Upscale Bistro Cooking
Address: 8 Rue de Solférino, 92100 Boulogne-Billancourt
Why go?
Mon Bistrot is a chic corner bistro with a bar, serving traditional upscale French dishes, proper desserts and serious wines. This is not a big-menu tourist machine. The menu is short, French-only, and built around quality over quantity.
A friend I took there summed it up perfectly: “Wow, just wow.” He called it the best French bistro he had eaten at across three trips to Paris.
Think foie gras, steak tartare, steak bleu, rack of lamb, Iberico pork, baba au rhum — dishes that sound classic because they are, but arrive with the polish of a kitchen that knows exactly how far to push them.
The service can be proud, even a little arrogant, in that very French way where the waiter knows the food is good and expects you to behave accordingly. Play along. It is worth it.
What to order:
- Foie gras
- Steak tartare
- Rack of lamb or Iberico pork
- Baba au rhum
Adèle & Camille – Fresh, Easy and Mediterranean-Leaning
Address: 44 Rue de Paris, 92100 Boulogne-Billancourt
Why go?
Adèle & Camille is the lunch spot for when you want something a little lighter, brighter and less aggressively old-school. It leans Mediterranean, with fresh produce, clean plates and a more relaxed feel.
It is the sort of place that works for a casual lunch with friends, a weekday meal, or when you want to eat well without committing to a full French nap afterwards.
What to order:
- Seasonal plates
- Mediterranean-inspired mains
- Chocolate fondant if it is on the menu
Best Family-Friendly Restaurants in Boulogne-Billancourt
Boulogne-Billancourt is often called la ville de poussette — the stroller city. And honestly, it fits.
This is a town full of families, which means restaurants that hate children do not tend to last. These are not generic “kids’ menu and frozen nuggets” recommendations. These are the places we actually go with family, whether that is relatives visiting from out of town or our local French family.
For a deeper dive into eating out with kids in France, read my guide here: https://eatlikethefrench.com/eating-out-with-kids-in-paris/
Odette – A True All-Rounder with Heart and Style
Address: 67 Rue Escudier, 92100 Boulogne-Billancourt
Why go?
Odette is local to us, and we have visited several times since it opened. Every time, we leave impressed by the service, the food and the drinks.
The beer and wine are delicious and reasonably priced. The service is exceptionally friendly and accommodating. There is a big screen rolled down for sports, plus screens outside so you can watch from almost anywhere. In winter, it turns into a sort of cosy ski-lodge fever dream with giant teddy bears, fluffy rugs, ski decorations, hot chocolates and burgers.
If you go there to work, they have USB hubs near the benches and strong wifi, which makes it dangerously easy to lose half a day.
In summer, the sunny patio comes into its own. My older brother went and reported back with the kind of joy only a full belly can produce: spritz in the sun, delicious hummus, white fish with vegetables and aioli, fries with mayo, friendly team, slow service forgiven by the food.
That’s Odette. Sometimes slow. Always welcoming. Very easy to love.
What to order:
- Hummus
- White fish with vegetables and aioli
- Burger and fries
- Hot chocolate in winter
- Spritz on the terrace in summer
Les Gallopins – Big Terrace, Big Plates and No Tourist Trap Nonsense
Address: 32 Avenue Jean Baptiste Clément, 92100 Boulogne-Billancourt
Why go?
Les Gallopins has a great big terrace out back, speedy friendly service, and a menu that works brilliantly for families and groups.
We ordered both the lamb and the giant steak to share between four adults and two little ones. The food was delicious, and there was plenty to eat. The tartare is also great, the natural wines are fun, and even the coffee was good — which, in France, is not something I say lightly.
Inside, it is a little more chic. Outside, it is relaxed and easy. Everyone talks about their giant profiterole, and frankly, that sort of reputation should be respected.
One person described it as a French restaurant where the food was good, they didn’t pay a fortune, and it was definitely not a tourist trap. They also called the beef bourguignon spectacular. That sounds about right.
Highly recommended for a quick lunch or an evening en terrasse with the family.
What to order:
- Giant steak to share
- Lamb to share
- Tartare
- Beef bourguignon
- Profiterole géant
Best Pizza in Boulogne-Billancourt
This section is really a continuation of the family-friendly restaurants, because pizza is one of the reasons dining out works so well in Boulbi.
Boulogne has a large Italian community, but pizza is also simply the ultimate family-friendly meal. Kids like it. Adults like it. It works at home, in a restaurant, for a birthday, for a Friday night, or when nobody has the emotional strength to negotiate with a seven-year-old over fish.
These are the pizzerias worth knowing.
Peppe Pizzeria – Overhyped, Tiny, and Still Essential
Address: 72 Avenue Jean Baptiste Clément, 92100 Boulogne-Billancourt
Why go?
Peppe is famous, and yes, it is probably overhyped. The tables are small. It gets busy. It can feel like the whole of Boulogne has decided they need Neapolitan pizza at exactly the same time.
But hell yes, it is still a must-visit.
The dough is pillowy, blistered and properly handled. The pizzas are generous without being clumsy. If you love Neapolitan pizza, you should go at least once.
What to order:
- The world champion pizza with a yellow tomato sauce base
Ciao Bella – Our Daughter’s Favourite
Address: 40 Rue de Paris, 92100 Boulogne-Billancourt
Why go?
Ciao Bella is a proper neighbourhood favourite and one of our family picks. It is easy, welcoming and consistently good — the kind of place that becomes part of your family rhythm without you noticing.
If my daughter gets a vote, this is often where we are going.
What to order:
- Pizza, obviously
- Burrata if available
- Lemoncello baba
Fratelli Pastore Trattoria – Approved by Our Italian Friends
Address: 10 Avenue Victor Hugo, 92100 Boulogne-Billancourt
Why go?
When Italian friends tell you a pizzeria is good, listen. Fratelli Pastore has that proper trattoria comfort: good ingredients, generous plates, no need to reinvent the wheel when the wheel is already covered in melted cheese.
Best International Restaurants in Boulogne-Billancourt
One of the best things about Boulogne-Billancourt is its diversity. This is not a town of one cuisine, one mood, one kind of table. It has Japanese ramen, sushi delivery favourites, Vietnamese comfort food and Turkish cooking — all part of the everyday rhythm of the place.
Kiwamiya Ramen – One of the Best Ramens in Paris
Address: 52 Avenue Pierre Grenier, 92100 Boulogne-Billancourt
Why go?
Kiwamiya is small, serious and very good. The ramen has depth, the noodles have bite, and the whole place feels like it is there for people who know exactly what they want from a bowl.
I would happily call it one of the best ramen spots in Paris.
What to order:
- Tonkotsu ramen
- Spicy miso ramen
- Gyoza
Phô Kitchen – The Best Vietnamese Food in Town
Address: 48 Rue d’Aguesseau, 92100 Boulogne-Billancourt
Why go?
When you want Vietnamese food in Boulogne, Phô Kitchen is the place. It is fresh, comforting, and exactly where I’d point someone craving a proper bowl of broth, herbs and noodles.
Uma – Turkish Cuisine in Boulogne
Address: 19 Rue du Point du Jour, 92100 Boulogne-Billancourt
Why go?
Uma adds another layer to Boulogne’s international food scene, with Turkish cooking that brings spice, generosity and a different rhythm to the table.
Best Places to Get a Drink in Boulogne-Billancourt
Boulogne-Billancourt is not a wild nightlife destination. That is part of the charm. This is not where people come to scream into neon cocktails until 3 a.m. It is where locals go for an apéro, a glass of wine, a terrace pint, a post-work drink, or occasionally a strange night in a PMU that becomes far more fun than it had any right to be.
New Rose – Hidden Cocktail Bar Under La Seine Musicale
Address: 1 Île Seguin, 92100 Boulogne-Billancourt
Why go?
Tucked underneath La Seine Musicale, New Rose is one of the coolest hidden spots in Boulogne. This is where artists playing the amphitheatre end up rubbing shoulders with locals and curious visitors, all sipping expertly crafted cocktails in a relaxed, low-lit atmosphere.
It has that romantic, speakeasy energy — slightly secret, slightly indulgent, and very easy to lose a few hours in. One of those places you feel smug about knowing.
What to order:
- Signature cocktails
- Anything seasonal from the bar team
- A second round, because you’re not leaving after one
Home Sweet Home – Cozy, Friendly and Reliable
Address: 14 Rue de Solférino, 92100 Boulogne-Billancourt
Why go?
Home Sweet Home is relaxed and easy. It is the sort of place where you can actually have a conversation, which in modern bar culture feels increasingly radical.
What to order:
- Beer
- Gin and tonic
- Whatever the bartender suggests if you trust their face
Le Pré en Bulles – Wine and Conversation
Address: 5 Rue Michelet, 92100 Boulogne-Billancourt
Why go?
A good local option for a glass of wine, especially if you want something more intimate and less shouty than the busier terraces.
What to order:
- Wine by the glass
- Something sparkling, because the name is not subtle
Mother – Good, But Busy and Pricey
Address: 34 Rue de l’Abreuvoir, 92100 Boulogne-Billancourt
Why go?
Mother is popular, lively and often too busy. It can also feel too expensive for what it is. But if you want a louder, more polished cocktail-bar energy in Boulogne, it has its place.
What to order:
- A proper cocktail
- Something seasonal if you are feeling generous with your wallet
Bouledog Rave in a PMU – The Wildcard
Address: Boulogne-Billancourt (PMU location – verify locally)
Why go?
Because sometimes the best nights out are not elegant. Sometimes they are weird, local and happen in a PMU.
Where to Shop for Food in Boulogne-Billancourt
Boulogne-Billancourt has no shortage of supermarkets. There is Monoprix, Auchan and far too many Carrefour Express stores dotted around town.
For the best gastronomic supermarket, I would head to Carrefour at Porte d’Auteuil. For a full hypermarket, we tend to go to Auchan in Issy-les-Trois-Moulins.
But the real beauty of food shopping in Boulogne is not the chains. It is the markets, the independents, the small places where advice matters and someone might actually tell you what to do with the thing you just bought.
Best Markets in Boulogne-Billancourt
One thing that makes Boulogne’s markets special is that they are still municipally run. That gives them a different feel from many markets that have been handed over to private operators. They feel local, lived-in and properly part of the town.
Marché Escudier
Address: 1 Place Jules Guesde, 92100 Boulogne-Billancourt
Why go?
A proper local market with a strong mix of produce, butchers, fishmongers, cheese and market atmosphere. Great for understanding how Boulogne actually eats.
Marché Billancourt
Address: 28 Boulevard de la République, 92100 Boulogne-Billancourt
Why go?
A bigger market with plenty of choice and a slightly different rhythm. Great when you want more room and variety.

Best Independent Food Shops in Boulogne-Billancourt
Day by Day – Buy Only What You Need
Address: 1 Rue de l’Ancienne Mairie, 92100 Boulogne-Billancourt
Why go?
A brilliant shop where you buy by weight, so you can get exactly what you need instead of buying a giant packet that will die slowly at the back of your cupboard. It also has a strong organic selection and rare ingredients that make it useful for curious cooks.
Boucherie Antoine – A Friendly Independent Butcher
Address: 247 Bd Jean Jaurès, 92100 Boulogne-Billancourt
Why go?
A great independent butcher with a lovely meat selection. Friendly, approachable, and importantly for visitors, English-speaking. This is exactly the sort of place that makes shopping in Boulogne feel personal rather than transactional.
Bellota-Bellota Boulogne – Spanish Indulgence
Address: 64 Boulevard Jean Jaurès, 92100 Boulogne-Billancourt
Why go?
For excellent Iberian ham, Spanish delicacies and the kind of charcuterie that makes you suddenly justify buying more wine.
IMPERIAL EXO – Exotic Ingredients and Hard-to-Find Products
Address: 48 Avenue Édouard Vaillant, 92100 Boulogne-Billancourt
Why go?
If you are looking for ingredients for Asian, African or Caribbean cooking, IMPERIAL EXO is the kind of shop that saves dinner.
Best Wine Shops in Boulogne-Billancourt
Poignée de Raisins – Cosmopolitan Wine and Great Advice
Address: Boulogne-Billancourt (please verify exact location)
Why go?
Excellent, cosmopolitan wine selection and genuinely good advice. A strong choice if you want something a little more interesting than the supermarket wall of Bordeaux anxiety.
Le Repaire de Bacchus – Still Worth It for the Advice
Address: Boulogne-Billancourt (multiple locations – verify nearest)
Why go?
This used to be an amazing independent wine shop until the owner retired a few years ago. It is now part of a cooperative, but the advice is still excellent, and it remains one of the better places to pick up a bottle in Boulogne.
Final Thoughts
Boulogne-Billancourt is not just a great place to eat. It is a town that is constantly evolving.
New restaurants, wine bars, bakeries and food shops are always popping up. The old institutions keep refining what they do. The local crowd is demanding enough to keep everyone honest, and the result is a food scene that has far more to offer than many visitors realise.
Honestly, I feel like I could eat out every night here and still struggle to keep up.
From Michelin-recognised gastronomy to bustling markets, family-friendly brasseries, excellent pizza, international gems, proper coffee, independent butchers and the occasional strange PMU drink, Boulogne-Billancourt is one of the most interesting places to eat just outside Paris.
And the best part? It is all made for the people who actually live here.
