Les Galopins sur Boulogne-Billancourt

It's not what it used to be: What a shame... Having known the Galopins restaurant for several years, I remembered the rib steaks or lamb shanks presented in a festive, almost ceremonial way, on beautiful wooden boards adorned with sauces and fleur de sel, accompanied by perfectly golden, crispy fries—the kind you can eat even when you're not hungry. This Saturday, wanting to relive such a moment, we made a reservation for 8:15 pm. Our first surprise: the rib steak, previously prominently featured on the menu, had been relegated to the back of the menu, sandwiched between the main courses and desserts. Was this a clue? A change of ownership in recent years? (It's true that our last visit was at least three years ago.) We took our order and were told that if we really wanted the rib steak, we would have to wait a long time... a bit surprising for a cut that's supposed to be prepared fresh and served with fries: was the grill not on? Was the fryer not plugged in? Anyway, we persevered. 25-30 minutes later, we were served a ribeye steak in a deep plate, swimming in its own juices... and in another deep plate, pale fries, clearly undercooked. While the meat tasted good (though without fleur de sel), the fries were more than disappointing: soggy and tasted like flour. We sent them back, specifying that we wanted golden fries, and if possible, cooked through. The same plate returned 5 minutes later, with the same fries, probably deep-fried for another minute in what looked like ancient oil: in short, still undercooked, still not golden, but with the added bonus of that lingering taste of old oil clinging to the fries. I gave up; the ribeye steak would be eaten without fries. Conclusion: While the complimentary gourmet coffee at the end of the meal was appreciated, I will still remove Les Galopins restaurant from my list of places to eat a superb ribeye steak and fries.

The food is delicious, the service is excellent, and the waiters/waitresses are lovely. I recommend it 100%. Everything was perfect.

I highly recommend it. There were nine of us for lunch, and we were all delighted with both the food and the service. Thank you 🙏

A small, pleasant space with well-prepared dishes at reasonable prices. Perfect for a lunch break or a pleasant evening.

Nice restaurant, it was for a team meal and we were able to reserve the terrace.

It's a sure thing. We go there regularly and we're never disappointed.

Excellent restaurant in Boulogne. Good, carefully prepared food, very good meat and good service.

Great restaurant! Everything was truly delicious: the meat was tender, perfectly cooked, and expertly prepared. The setting is pleasant, and the service was top-notch—warm and attentive. Special mention for the dessert, flawlessly executed, with a delightful touch of salted caramel. A wonderful place in Boulogne; I highly recommend it!

We came for dinner as a couple. The servers were very friendly and attentive, the rump steak and pork were tender and of very good quality. The fries and homemade mashed potatoes were absolutely delicious.

We were in France with my girlfriends and we came to this restaurant by chance. I had sea mushrooms with lentils, honestly, it was incredibly tasty and very filling. My girlfriend had a steak, she said it was a little hard to chew, but it was okay, no tragedies. And my other girlfriend had mashed potatoes with chicken and honestly, the chicken was so delicious 🤤 it was incredibly tender, it seems to have been cooked sous vide The service is great, everyone is polite, pleasant. The only nuance is that they put us on the terrace under those heaters, and it was cold outside, we were wearing warm clothes, so it was a bit hot. But the atmosphere is great, the food ❤️ and overall we were very satisfied. I recommend ✨
