This place is great for happy hour. However when we were there, no AC was on or they don't have it. We almost left because it was so hot. Actually there was a party of 4 that came in and said out loud "oh no AC we are not staying."

Open for five years now in the Kensington area of San Diego, Owner and Chef Ken Irvine says he opened Bleu Boheme because he loves neighborhood restaurants. “When my guests walk through our doors, we want to take them away to a “different place”, he says. “What sets us apart is our stellar service, quality cuisine and a unique ambiance.”
Amazing! The escargot is incredible!
If you are looking for an awesome happy hour an Adams, look no further. Drinks and food are half off. (happy hour is from 5-6) The mussels are great and the ambiance is very French and romantic.
We went here on Halloween for my grandpas 80th birthday. It was OUTSTANDING! From the appetizers to the main course, everything was excellent! It made for a VERY special birthday and we will definitely be back!!
I had a great time at Bleu Bohème! The food and the atmosphere were fantastic.
I ordered the Poulpe Rôti, and the octopus was cooked perfectly. It was the best part of my meal. The Tartare de Saumon was good too, but I thought it would be fresh salmon instead of smoked. The menu did mention smoked salmon, though.
I also tried the Bourbon Vieilli. It's strong, so if you like strong drinks, it's a good choice.
The restaurant has a nice and cozy feel, making it a great place to enjoy a meal.
I'm looking forward to going back to Bleu Bohème and trying more dishes.
Enjoy your meal!

We went for our anniversary and they left a card for us and made my wife feel very special.
Stumbled upon this hidden gem! So much character, drippy candles, romantic atmosphere, food was incredible. Best gnocchi I’ve ever had in my life. Thank you Lisa for sneaking us in, and to Gigi for being an awesome waiter. We will be back!
My husband decided to splurge and took us out for date-night to enjoy dinner at the French restaurant, Bleu Bohème. We both had the Confit de Canard, which was a duck leg confit served over a creamy goat cheese polenta with baby kale and leeks and a delicious olive relish. We enjoyed it with a Singapore Sling to drink and then ended it with some delicious dessert. I had the profiteroles and he had the chocolate mousse. Everything was delicious! The skin of the duck was crispy while the meat was tender and juicy. The mousse was light and airy, yet decadent at the same time. The profiteroles were delicious and the French vanilla ice cream in the middle was so creamy and flavorful. Everything was absolutely perfect! We definitely will be going back some day.
Delicious. They change up their menu just barely every season to keep fresh but they stay nearly the same.the only thing that wasn’t perfect this most recent visit was there wasn’t any chicken dish as an option right now. They used to always have a chicken option and it was always amazing. If it’s possible, their portions got larger.

Went here for my birthday dinner and I was very impressed.
Atmosphere
So romantic. One of the most romantic restaurants I’ve been to in San Diego. The candlelight made my date with my girlfriend even more dazzling.
Staff
Exceptional. They wrote a card for my birthday and had a little scoop of mousse sent to the table, which was perfectly rich and chocolately.
Food
My girlfriend got the mussels with fries and I got the beef bourguignon. The mussels were exquisite and I felt like there were more mussels than typically served at restaurants. The fries were thin and crisp. The beef bourguignon was savory but not overly salty. The beef melts in your mouth. We got a half loaf of sourdough, which was very crispy on the outside and soft on the inside. And so warm. We also got a lobster crepe, which was the best food of the night. I recommend dipping the bread in the sauce. Finally, we got the “wine for a dime” deal.
Recommend?
Yes, if you’re looking for a restaurant to celebrate a special occasion, this is a great choice. I’m sure we’ll go to other French restaurants in San Diego but I’m also sure that Blue Bohéme will be one of the best, if not the best.
I came here for a special dinner with a couple close friends and we enjoyed tons of delicious french food. The ambiance was nice in the restaurant, with candles used in place of lamps or lights. We started with a lovely charcuterie and cheese board, bread, and wine. Entrees were all delicious. The service was top notch and we had a great time. The seafood dishes were favorites among our group, especially the moules frites (mussels and fries). Great spot for a date night.
Love this place, decent size and not super busy like other similarly elegant French restaurants. So one can usually get a table which is great! The parking isn't always great cause Kensington gets busy, but its worth a little walk to get there! The food is awesome, yes, I said awesome and I meant it. Everytime its spot on, portions are great, wine is excellent, staff is nice and prompt. This is a gem, highly recommended! Had crab cakes and mussels this time. The mussels come with a bunch of sauce options, I cant wait to try them all!
It was my wife’s birthday today. I want to thank everyone at Bleu Bohème for the kind and wonderful gesture today. We are being grateful. Thank you so much.
We go here a few times a year on date nights or with friends. BB is nestled in the cute neighborhood of Kensington and surrounded by a bunch of other cool restaurants and shops.
Bleu Bohème is a great experience. This is where the locals eat, the views are wonderful, and the restaurant of beautifully decorated, but in a unique old world way, not that cookie cutter contemporary look many are going for.
