Boulevard Restaurant & Bakery

Boulevard Restaurant & Bakery is a restaurant and bakery at 1 University Boulevard, Samarkand, Uzbekistan, serving European and Uzbek food. Located on the pedestrian University Boulevard, it works as an all-day stop for breakfast, snacks and desserts, with fresh bread from its own bakery. Breakfast plates, light lunches and cakes make it a useful option when plov centres have closed for the day. Opening hours are listed as daily 09:00–00:00. The phone number given for the venue is +998 93 341 01 01; numbers on listing sites sometimes differ from reality, so a call before a special trip is sensible. A typical meal costs about 70,000–200,000 UZS (~$5.8–17) per person at the Central Bank rate of roughly 12,000 UZS per US dollar, with tea usually inexpensive and drinks extra. Reservations are rarely needed outside peak summer evenings. University Boulevard is a pedestrian street leading toward the Registan. Payment is by cash in Uzbek som or by card at most sit-down venues, and a service charge of about 10 percent is sometimes added to the bill, so a glance at the receipt avoids double tipping. Lunch tends to be calmer than the evening rush, and the Samarkand summer heat from June to August makes shaded or air-conditioned seating worth asking for.
