This restaurant is a literal gem. The food, staff and service are always top tier every single time I visit. Their Cote De Boeuf is always exceptional each time I order and their dirty martinis ALWAYS hits the spot. If you're looking to have a nice, intimate dinner with friends or a loved one, this is the place to go.

We spent a celebratory Sunday evening here with friends and really appreciated the quiet atmosphere which made it easy to enjoy each other’s company. We’ve heard it’s not always this calm, so we may have lucked out! Service was friendly and attentive, and everyone thoroughly enjoyed their meals. Portions are generous, so I’d suggest sharing starters. The octopus was perfectly cooked, and our friends raved about their escargot with bone marrow. I’d definitely recommend this spot, but just come hungry, as lighter options are not always available. They do have loads of specials outside of the menu. A perfect Sunday dinner.

Such a cute little restaurant, I love the vibe and their little decorations. Staff are very friendly, atmosphere is amazing, food is fantastic! Definitely a must come back to! We ordered the 24oz steak, they placed the fries in the bottom, they absorbed the fat from the steak and so yummy and still crispy! The steak itself was cooked perfectly to medium rare as how we ordered, tender and juicy, fat to the right perfect amount, such an enjoyable experience!

Jules Bistro is an absolute gem for anyone who loves authentic French cuisine in a cozy, welcoming setting. From the moment you walk in, you're greeted with warm hospitality and the kind of ambiance that makes you feel like you've been transported to a Parisian café, relaxed, charming, and full of character.

The menu is packed with French classics done right. The steak frites is perfectly cooked and full of flavor, the moules mariniere are fresh and aromatic, and the onion soup is rich, cheesy, and deeply satisfying. Don’t skip the crème brûlée, it’s the perfect finish to an already incredible meal.

Service is friendly, attentive, and never rushed. Whether you're out for a romantic dinner, catching up with friends, or just treating yourself to a quiet solo meal, Jules Bistro delivers a consistently great experience. This is the kind of place that makes you want to come back again and again. A true Toronto favorite.

Cute and cozy French bistro on Queen St East. We ordered their Côte de Boeuf for 2 which came with fries and salad. Since we came on a Tuesday night, we were able to get it for half the price. We also ordered extra side fries and for dessert we ordered Crème Brûlée and their Tartes du Jour (the blueberry one). Everything we ordered was tasty and well presented. They serve skinny fries here and the extra side fries that we ordered were definitely less soggy and warmer than the ones served with the Côte de Boeuf. Service here is on point. The staff are both friendly and attentive. The restaurant itself is fairly small so make reservations in advance to secure a spot. It got busy towards the end of our meal and due to the lack of seating space inside, we felt a bit rushed towards the end to settle the bill and free up our table. Aside from this, we overall had a nice experience.

I had the pleasure of dining at Jules Bistro on Queen Street East yesterday for a birthday dinner, and it was an experience worth sharing. From the moment we sat down, the cozy ambiance and warm service set the tone for an unforgettable evening.

We started with the escargot and grilled octopus appetizers, and both dishes were exceptional. The escargot sauce, rich with mushrooms, was an absolute standout—creamy, flavorful, and perfectly balanced. Each bite was a delight. The grilled octopus was equally impressive, tender and expertly cooked, paired beautifully with mashed potatoes that were smooth, buttery, and packed with flavor.

For our main course, we shared the lamb for two, which we requested to be cooked medium, and it arrived exactly as we had asked—juicy, tender, and full of flavor. The accompanying fries were incredibly addictive—crispy, crunchy, and soaked in just enough of the lamb juices to elevate every bite.

To finish, we enjoyed the crème brûlée and a sugar crêpe for dessert. The crème brûlée was perfectly caramelized on top, with a smooth and creamy custard underneath that melted in every spoonful. The sugar crêpe was light, delicate, and simply delicious—a perfect sweet ending to our meal.

Overall, it was a truly enjoyable dining experience. Jules Bistro delivered on flavor and atmosphere, and I would highly recommend it for a special night out. We’ll definitely be back!

Good restaurant to go to have great conversation. Love ambiance’s like Jules Bistro! You are not overwhelmed by useless music you can actually have meaningful conversation with the ones you go with.
The food was good and did what it had to do, the price is more than reasonable if you take the set menu, I wish we had more restaurant like this one in the city, I recommend!

It is always super busy so make your reservations before going!

The ambience was really nice. Servers were extremely friendly and provided some great recommendations starting with the appetizers to the main course and desserts, including the wine. The onion soup could have been a bit more cheesier as my friends suggested. They enjoyed the medium rare steak. The chicken was delicious along with the desserts (creme brûlée and the chocolate). Definitely recommend for a French bistro!

I ordered the onion soup, the steak frites and a crème brûlée via Uber Eats. These are three items I typically wouldn’t order for delivery but they came perfectly packaged, still warm and my steak was medium rare! Delicious! They’re real pros over at Jules!
