The best spot in town for the neighbourhood French bistro vibe with great service and excellent food. We’ve been coming here for years and highly recommend.

Came here on a Tuesday based on good reviews and was completely disappointed by the food.
We ordered the Cote de Boeuf and it was salty beyond belief. Inedible amounts of salt coated the outside of the steak. Simply unacceptable. After bringing this up to the staff we were not offered any sort of compensation.
We reserved over a month ahead of time and have been looking forward to this meal. Unfortunately, the food quality we experienced today was abysmal and we will not be returning in the future.

1. Once you enter the restaurant, they inform you that there is a 2-hour time limit. 2. Small portion sizes for the price. 3. The taste is just average. 4. The waitress blatantly stares at how much you are tipping.

We had a wonderful dinner at Jules! The steak frites, escargot, and cocktails were lovely. We sat at the bar and Ellie was so attentive and kind. She’s an amazing bartender and made the best cocktails!

Amazing food with amazing service! Ellie is absolutely amazing with the drinks - she nailed every single one!!
Food was okay. Service was my worst nightmare in Toronto. I am working in the same industry and that attitude was NO. I don't know how hard or busy your night was, but that doesn't mean you can ruin my night. Do not teach me or the other guests that main course is coming after the appetizer or ANYTHING. If you never come to check my table, never look at the empty dishes, never ask us how was the food, and never see how fast we were finishing that small dishes, you can only say sorry for late.

I visited this restaurant tonight with a booking for a table of four. Last minute, a friend decided to join us, and we requested an extra chair. Our server’s behavior was shockingly unprofessional. He kept us standing for 10 minutes, visibly irritated, which made everyone at the table uncomfortable,one of my guests even considered leaving.
Once we were seated, the server repeatedly rushed us, questioning why we hadn’t ordered food, even though we had already ordered drinks and were waiting for our friend to arrive. Despite assuring him we were fine with the two-hour table limit, he continued to pressure us. When our food arrived, appetizers were brought out at the same time as the mains, and no one checked on our table throughout the meal. We were missing cutlery, and one guest’s wine arrived significantly late.
The most unacceptable part of the experience occurred when we tipped 10%, reflecting the poor service we received. The server rudely confronted us, demanding to know why we didn’t tip more and even stating that we were no longer welcome to return if we didn’t tip 18%. This behavior was disrespectful, unprofessional, and completely unacceptable.
To the management: I hope you take this feedback seriously, as this kind of treatment will drive customers away. If the owner sees this, I strongly urge you to review the behavior of this staff member (Transaction #406342). A welcoming and respectful attitude is key to a positive dining experience, this experience was anything but.

I like the vibe of this place. Food is good, prices reasonable, however, one of the steaks, ordered medium rare, arrived well done. What’s a problem is the virtually non-existent service, no checking in if the food is okay, no offer of another drink, no offer or coffee or dessert, hard to get attention of staff to ask for bill. Bit underwhelming.

Jules Bistro offers a unique dining experience that's equal parts culinary delight and theatrical performance. The steak frites is a solid 8/10, a classic French dish executed with skill. However, the real showstopper is the enigmatic owner, Eric. With his charming demeanor and engaging personality, he can captivate a room.
Unfortunately, the management team's treatment of staff can sometimes overshadow the positive aspects of the restaurant. While it's unclear if this is a regular occurrence, the night we dined, the tension between management and staff was palpable.
If you're looking for a quiet, intimate dinner, this might not be the ideal spot. But if you enjoy a bit of drama and a good meal, Jules Bistro is worth a visit. Just be prepared for an unexpected performance.

One of the best steaks I’ve had. I got the cote de boeuf on Tuesday and it was 50% off. What an amazing deal, I loved their steak it was juicy and their fries were like Mc Donald’s ones. Nothing wrong with the food but I do not like how the seats were sooooo tight together. I feel like if they sacrificed one table and just spaced out everything it would be perfect.
