Jules Casual French Bistro - Vancouver, British Columbia

This restaurant is a staple in Gastown, and am sad they are closing down. Been coming here for their happy hour for almost a decade. Tonight we had dinner here - French onion soup, escargot, salad, duck confit, mussels. All dishes were great. This restaurant will be missed.

We loved this restaurant, and we have been coming for lunch, dinner, and happy hours since the day it opened more than a decade. Each of every dishes here is made with quality ingredients and love. The staff are always friendly and helpful. The ambitious reminds me of eating ... at my favorite Cafe in Paris. We are so sad to learn that it will be closed for business for good, on 31st December, 2023. It will be a loss of our neighborhood. Read more

Got the 3 course meal. French onion soup was good, very delicious. Steak and Frites - ordered medium rare, steak was probably the most chewy steak I’ve had in any restaurant period. Was chewing for a good two minutes and was contemplating if I should swallow or not, in the end I ... couldn’t swallow the bite. This wasn’t just me, my friends also had the same issue. Some bites were good, taste was fine, but some bites were super chewy. Steak also arrived lukewarm, would much prefer to eat a hot steak than a lukewarm steak. The fries are just fries nothing special. The salad was very basic, not expecting much, but it was very mildly garnished or sauced. The desert was good, no complaints. For the price, it was overall fine, but I’d expect the steak to be better. Read more

Since we couldn’t go back to France this year, we decided to try a little bit of France here. This restaurant did not disappoint. Although not exact duplicates due to availability of French-produced ingredients (we miss Normandy butter!), it was still very good. Escargot was very good, foie gras was ... good, lobster bisque was excellent, steak frites with peppercorn sauce was cooked perfectly. Service was excellent and the room was charming. We’ve been to restaurants where dishes were Instagram-worthy but lacking in taste, this restaurant focused on taste. We will be back! Read more

Great food and atmosphere. Every dish is well executed, the duck confit had a crispy skin and moist fall off the bone meat. We also shared the escargot and calamari, the escargot definitely stood out better.
