Located in a cozy 1908 bungalow, this bistro is one of the region’s best-kept dining secrets. Chef/owner Bret Bohlmann is a passionate supporter of local farmers, purveyors and winemakers, and his innovative food sings with freshness and seasonality. Bistro Boulevard is a family enterprise, with Bret in the kitchen, wife Debora in the front of the house, and the couple’s two kids helping out where they can. Arrive early enough to sit outside on the restaurant’s homey porch, and don’t miss Bohlmann’s outstanding soups, housemade Neufchâtel cheese or signature rack of lamb.
