Chez Jules

Have been wanting to try this place for ages and it met all my expectations! A really cute bustling place with a great (albeit noisy) atmosphere and excellent food. The house red wine was great, and we indulged in a few of them! I had the steak frites which was such a reasonable price and was really tasty - especially with the garlic butter. Service wasn’t the fastest but the little things they bring you upon sitting down (bread, meats and olives, and salad) meant the wait didn’t feel long at all. A great place that I would really recommend - just make sure to book in advance!

The staff were incredibly friendly and attentive. The service was super fast. The food itself was incredible. Before you even get to the parts you order they bring salad, salami, olives and bread to the table. From there the soup, frogs legs and snails were amazing to start. The cassoulet and rabbit for mains were fantastic and so full of flavour. You can see why they have won value for money, we did go a la carte however the lunch menu at £12.90 for 3 courses looked amazing and really generous. We went a la carte for 3 people and it was £95. There was probably enough food for 4 as all portions were so generous, the cassoulet especially was packed with meat.

Amazing to find this French restaurant. Warm welcome and great service.The seafood price is lower than the others in the city centre. Green salad, olives, salami and baguette is free of charge and do not set fixed complimentary tips, varieties of wine and food for your choice. I ordered a seafood platter ( supposed for two person ) I really want to eat all those the food and the waitress already reminded me the portion is big. Finally I finished all but I think it’s really big even for 2 people, it includes the mussels (guess it nearly 3 kegs), oysters, smoked salmon and large prawn.I highly recommend and absolutely return when I visit Edinburgh.

Chez Jules is a French restaurant in Edinburgh, located on Hanover Street. I went there for the first time last week, and I was very positively surprised. The menu is more French than in most French restaurants in France! It's really not common to be able to order escargots, cuisses de grenouilles, lapin en sauce or even pain perdu even in France. The prices are reasonable, the atmosphere a bit loud but lively, and it made lots of memories from France come back to me. When my parents or grand-parents used to prepare escargots sometimes, or when my Dad makes us some lapin à la moutarde. I ordered both of these dishes, I was a bit disappointed with the escargots as I would have prefered the herbs of the sauce fresh (I mean by opposition to cooked) and the portion was quite small, I'd give it a 6/10. But the lapin accompagné de grattin dauphinois was a pure delice, I would have put more lapin than that or replaced the diced bacon by more lapin, but I'd still give it a 10/10. I was looking forward to tasting the pain perdu for dessert, but it was late and the stove already off which gives me another good reason to go back in this little gem of a restaurant :) Thank you @leilarasulkhan for suggesting the place! #FrenchFood #FrenchCuisine #Edinburgh #Scotland
