In Boulogne-Billancourt, most kitchens close at 10pm, sometimes 10:30pm. After that, there are few options left for a proper sit-down dinner with a full menu. La Table de Flo, a French restaurant located at 65 route de la Reine, serves until 11:30pm from Tuesday to Saturday. It is one of the rare addresses open in the evening in Boulogne-Billancourt to keep such a late service, with no scaled-back menu at the end of the night.
Who needs a restaurant open late?
Having dinner after 10pm is not a whim. More often than not, it is a matter of schedule:
- Leaving the cinema or a show: an 8pm screening rarely ends before 10pm. Here, you still have time to sit down for dinner.
- Late meetings: when the day runs over, you can have a proper dinner instead of settling for a sandwich.
- Train or flight arrivals: back from a trip late in the evening, suitcase down, table served.
- Shift work: hospital staff, caregivers, evening jobs. When your shift ends at 10pm, dinner is still possible.
The rule is clear: last service at 11:30pm
Evening service runs from 7pm to 11:30pm, Tuesday to Saturday. To enjoy dinner without watching the clock, it is best to arrive before 10:30pm. We will be honest with you: that is the time that leaves room for a full meal, starter, main course and dessert, without rushing anyone, neither you nor the kitchen.
One thing to know if you have your eye on the côte de bœuf (dry-aged rib of beef): it takes 30 to 40 minutes to prepare. Arrive before 10:30pm and the timing works. After that, better to choose a quicker dish, the filet de bar (sea bass fillet) or the salade César for example.
If you are in a hurry, on the other hand, let us know when you arrive: the service can adapt to fit within an hour.
At 10:30pm, you get the same menu
Many restaurants trim their menu at the end of service. Not here. The menu served at 10:30pm is the same as at 7:30pm, and the same as at lunch. Our chef cooks everything in house from raw ingredients: matured meats selected piece by piece, fresh fish depending on the day’s catch, seasonal vegetables. The homemade cooking holds up to the very last service.
Depending on the current menu, you can order a foie gras poêlé (pan-seared foie gras), a coq au vin, a filet de bar with fragrant rice, or the côte de bœuf with homemade fries, a sharing dish ranked in the town’s top 3 by the local media La Vie à Boulbi. For dessert, Paris-Brest (praline choux pastry) or fondant au chocolat (chocolate fondant). On the wine side, Adrien has built a list of independent producers, farmed sustainably or organically, with several wines by the glass. A glass of Sancerre or Côte-Rôtie at 11pm is still possible.
Marcel Sembat in the evening
The restaurant is a 2-minute walk from the Marcel Sembat metro station, on line 9, convenient for getting back to Paris after dinner. If you are driving, parking is available on boulevard Jean Jaurès. In fine weather, the 16-seat terrace lets you end the evening outdoors.
