Vancouver Good

Jules Bistro is an elegant, laid back bistro preparing simple and tasty French fare. A great restaurant to stop into for lunch, dinner, or an afternoon snack. For me it’s one of those reliable restaurants where you know you’ll have good service and food at a reasonable price.

The menu offers traditional French bistro fare: French onion soup, croque-monsieur, mussels and frites, steak frites, escargots, and more. They used to have frogs legs too, but they don’t seem to be on the menu anymore. Everything is freshly prepared and delicious. The most expensive menu item is $25 and the restaurant also features a daily three-course fixed menu for $25.

My last visit was a ladies lunch a few weeks ago – I devoured a beautiful seafood quiche with a buttery crust and tender filling with a light green salad and plenty of salty, crispy frites. Mmmm.

I also love the room – it’s quite charming, spacious, black & white with a European feel.

Gastown is packed with great food options these days, but Jules remains a favourite for me. No gimmicks – just good food and a nice setting (and a patio too!)
