Reviews for Chez Jules in Québec, QC
Quite disappointing. Arrived on a Monday, around 6:30 without a reservation. The restaurant is almost empty. Understandable that... I cannot have a prime table, was placed at the bar while the entire restaurant around me remained 5% full. * See photos for the17 empty two-top tables?* Waited for another 30 to have my order taken while there was someone working the bar. Overall,confused why the staff is unable to provide a table for me. Quite confused by the workflow of the employees, looks like it takes2-3 people to assess a wine glass as a team to confirm that a glass is clean each time they pull a glass off the shelf. Cheeseboard arrived with a cheese missing and the rubarb ?jam? on my charcuterie board was splattered on my board and looked like atoddler threw up on it. Even sitting at the bar, the server came over TWICE in the 2 hours I sat there nursing my wine andcharcuterie board with toddler throw up while waiting for my next reservation down the street to make up for this atrocity. AsI was wrapping up the meal waiting for the check, the hostess sat next to me at the bar, perhaps it was the humidity but hersmell overpowered my space, and not it a pleasant way. She starred at me as I was eating my last few bites, it was entirelyuncomfortable. I reviewed the check and was charged for the wrong wine? The bartender was confused when I pointed out theerror, but it was fixed in the end. Overall, bad service, lackluster food, poor ambiance, and overcharged. I do not recommend. Read more
Overall nice place, but it seems a little overrated. If you are looking for an OK restaurant to have a drink and a quick dinner.... Then it?s a good place (although a little too expensive), but if you want to find a place to wow you, then no. I had a lot ofAmericanized Chinese food in US. This feels like Americanized French food I guess. Read more
What a restaurant! We came here after searching on google maps and they did not disappoint. Our server was incredibly nice and... knowledgeable in terms of the food and wine pairing. If you are a fan of ducks, I highly recommend any duck dish here. Theysometimes will have items that are not on the menu. 10/10 recommend this place. Read more
Chez Jules was an experience that I?ll never forget. The customer service was so exceptional that I think it is one of the best... restaurants? experience I?ve had thus far; and I don?t say that often. The food was tremendously great too, I highly recommendthis for anyone visiting Quebec City!!! Read more
Absolute great experience. Restaurant is very chic and servers are very professional and polite and friendly. Food is what you... can find at a bistro upscale. We got the steak frites, chicken pasta, beef tartar, and escargo (shown in photos). And absolutelygreat restaurant for a date or a couple. A close to fine dining experience but prices are reasonable. Would recommend. Read more
I came here for dinner recently. The server was quite nice in going over the menu and special. In terms of food, I had a glass... of Rose from Provence, the Burgundy Escargots, Frog Legs, and Sorbets. The wine was quite a bit more acidic and fruity, lesssweet, and slightly more dry than other roses I?ve had. The escargot was buttery, slightly oily, and had good spices that gave anice aroma and was refreshing. It also felt a bit mushroomy. The frog legs were quite meaty, crispy, and had a clean taste thatfelt like a mix between chicken and fish. It also came with a lot of fries that were decent. The sorbet consisted of strawberry,mango, and pear. It was especially good for after fried frog legs Read more
The food was not bad but for the price given I would have expected more. For the entrée, I tried the soup of the day, the beef... tartar and the tomatoes and mozzarella. The soup was so watery for a cream it was really disappointing. The meat of the beeftartar was really hard to chew and it was served at a room temperature wich was really weird. The tomatoes and mozzarellaentrée was alright but nothing special about it. All the main dishes were good, it saved the night. The beef cheek was savouryand the mashed potates really creamy. On the same note, the raviolis were amazing and well executed. If you wanna try out thisplace, you should book in advance since the restaurant is located in a very touristy area. Read more
Really enjoyed our meals, a nice spot that got most of the French signature dishes for a reasonable price. The service was also... really nice. We ordered the escargot, frog legs, and duck. Read more
