Bermuda: Bolero Brasserie (July 2010)
My spouse and I dined at Bolero Brassier for dinner in early July 2010. The
very fact that the entrance to Bolero is tucked down a narrow alleyway, gives
it a sense of secrecy, a place that ‘only the locals know about’. When Bolero
opened in April 2007, the owner’s vision was to operate a neighborhood eatery,
a restaurant full of warmth and charm. They wanted it to be a lively, bustling,
friendly place, and a place where the staff are considered ‘family’. They
wanted a mindset in the staff that they work ‘with’ the owners not just simply
‘for’ them. As in the time-honored concept of a Brasserie, the owners sought to
restore an atmosphere that welcomes people from all walks of life, (at Bolero
you will often see business people in suits dining next to locals wearing more
casual attire) people that are simply out for good food and friendly efficient
service and, overall, an enjoyable dining experience. The dishes on the menu
not only reflect typical Brasserie/Bistro fare but also reflect the chef’s
classical culinary training. More importantly, the food is realistically
priced, good, honest, and unpretentious. The menu is extensive (in true
Brasserie style) and changes four to five times a year; however some dishes
have proved to be very popular both with the regular clientele and ‘newbies’
alike.
