Very traditional restaurant. Neither bad nor great, mainly appealing to fans of the genre.

We tried the chicken and the black cod. The chicken was moist and great flavors. The cod was seared skin on, but the skin was not crispy.

The creame brulee at the end was great.

Very quaint establishment with excellent European ambiance. Tremendous wine selections. The mushroom-stuffed ravioli was one of the best dishes I’ve ever tasted in my life. Creamy, rich, and decadent. Escargot in the shells were perfectly seasoned with bright herbs and melted butter. Mussels delightfully flavorful with shallot and white wine. Attentive and engaged servers and staff. This place is incredible. I will definitely return!

My wife and I had an amazing dinner at BL Brasserie this evening. On our last night in Paso Robles, we were looking for something light and delicious. We were not disappointed! The smoked salmon appetizer with crème fraîche was fantastic! Top notch smoked salmon! We also loved the warm potato and goat cheese salad. The pasta dish had amazingly fresh tomatoes and perfectly done pasta. Macarons for dessert were perfect and the wine list was great. Our waiter was wonderful, and our water glasses were constantly refilled.
I wish I could give BL Brasserie 6 stars! We will definitely be back!!

My wife and I stopped in for Lunch on the recommendation from Tyler the amazing winemaker/owner of Paco wines. (A absolute must). We were asking for recommendations for lunch and he recommended BL Brasserie. Wade our service was very enjoyable and had some amazing recommendations. The oysters and crab avocado salad were the best! We didn’t realize they were open for lunch. Very thankful and great community of wonderful people.

Found this amazing Gem on a corner of downtown Paso. Stumbled in just for a quick bit and ended up cancelling our other dinner plans. The service was exquisite!!! The wine, the oysters , the quail was breath taking. The quail was so delicate, crispy and covered in a sauce I can only describe as savory Carmel. The beef tartare. Oh the beef tartare!!!!! Can’t wait to come back to Paso and spend many more nights at their 4 person bar.

Really lovely French bistro. Service and food were impeccable. The filet was particularly delicious — great cut of meat and fantastic peppercorn sauce. We’ll be back

Went for lunch. Everything is pretty good. Classic simple French food with fresh materials. I really like the onion soup one of the best but their beet salad is average. Very short lunch menu and not many people when we arrived Friday. Services are attentive. We will be back in the future.

An amazing experience at BL Brasserie! We had just arrived in Paso Robles after a long drive from Healdsburg—and needless to say, I was hangry. We wandered around downtown Paso looking for something that sounded good, but nothing was hitting the mark. On our way back to the car, feeling a little defeated, we passed by BL Brasserie, glanced at the menu, and kept walking. But the smells coming from the restaurant literally stopped me in my tracks—they drew me back in.

We were seated immediately and warmly greeted by multiple people. It feels like they work as a team rather than assigning one specific server, which made the service feel seamless and attentive. Marc is an absolute gem—his lovely French accent made it feel like we were dining in a charming Parisian bistro. He offered thoughtful recommendations, and everything we tried was spot on.

The burrata salad was fresh, and the burrata itself was outstanding. The salad was a bit overdressed, but that didn’t stop us from devouring it. I ordered the crispy risotto with crab and shrimp—so good! My husband had the gnocchi and thoroughly enjoyed it. And the beignets—oh my. We already love beignets, but these were next level with a surprise apple crème filling. The soft pastry and light cream inside made every bite a delightful surprise.

If you’re in Paso Robles, don’t hesitate to add this wonderful spot to your list. You won’t be disappointed!

Absolutely fantastic restaurant! The food and service are both off the charts. Reservations required and recommend booking well in advance. The wine list is impeccable and expansive, and Marc the host is incredibly knowledgeable with recommendations based on food ordered. The escargot and oysters were great on our last visit, as were the peach Melba and rice pudding desserts. Dinner specials rotate and haven’t had a bad one yet.

Traditional french bistro. Boulliabase lunch had a nice broth, salmon, mussels, and vegetables in it. Servers were attentive and managed our large multi-table group well. Parking was free immediately outside around the town square. Good wine list and shop/club immediately next door. Call for reservations.
