Chez Jules (New Town)

• It was no issue we were seated by the waitress and settled in
• We were served with a large dish of dauphoinise which I really liked
• I came here on Friday evening with a friend and we had booked a table for 6pm
• The restaurant was fairly quiet at this time which was nice but did feel a bit strange
• The wine i ordered came in a little glass tumbler as opposed to a wine glass which i was aware they did but it did still seem weird drinking wine that way
• Dessert we had a lemon sorbet and a creme brulee which was very good as well
• The restaurant started to get very busy fairly quickly and became pretty noisy so we were quite happy once we finished eating to move on somewhere else
• I gave the review a 3.5 because the evening was good enough but it wasn't spectacular the food was good but the atmosphere was a bit of a non starter
• Chez Jules is reckoned by some as a bit of a find
• Choosing the half lobster which was just great served up with french fries
• Wasn't impressed with the haphazard traditional plating
• Our steaks were cooked perfectly
• I have to say the cream was the only part I liked
• As the orange sauce was just too rich for my tastes
• As the experience is overwhelmingly continental
• Their lunch menu is extraordinarily priced
• Decoration were legit good
• Everything was very tasty but I didn't like the desert
• One of them was Chez Jules
• There are pillars and blackboards on which menus and specials are scrawled in colourful chalk
• The lighting is dimmed in the evenings
• Viv started with the grilled goats cheese which was served on toast with balsamic and sesame dressing
• I went for the sauteed homemade duck confit leg with fresh thyme and garlic
• The steak tartare was finely chopped and you could taste the luscious flavour of the meat
• Lightly spiced with Worchester sauce
• Slow braised French rabbit leg with Dijon mustard
• Smoked bacon with gratin dauphinois
• The crisp bread that it was served on nicely soaked up all that lovely sauce
• We both enjoyed our meal there the food was simple and satisfying
• Lunch time is super good value with their menu du jour
• The food is delicious and the service was pretty fast and efficient for being so busy
• Four of us shared/devoured the macaroni cheese as a starter then I plumped for the very reasonably priced rump steak (perfectly cooked and with its own dish of dauphinoise potatoes too)
• Caramel and peanuts to end and all washed down with decent red wine
• The atmosphere is very relaxed and youthful
• 9.95 including some of the best steak and chips I've ever had
• I was sat at a table with a rather rickety bench which added a bit of excitement to my lunch
• Our first adventure of Food Club was a roaring success
• Some Snails were unshelled and a duck leg was devoured
• Salmon was leaping from the plate in joy while a plate of meat was served like a feast
• Apple and Black pudding was proudly gobbled
• More beers flowed as the main course was served "
• Pink tender steak served with a memorable half lobster
• Were on the side with a selection of awe inspiring sauces
• How about King Scallops with crispy bacon or perhaps a luscious chicken primed for consumption
• The overwhelming choice was for banoffee toffee pie
• The meal ended with the customary payment of the bill and a photo with the lovely staff
• The staff are so easy going even though the place is jampacked and it creates a brilliant atmosphere
• So I thought it was about time that I check them out
• As soon as we were settled at our table
• Lettuce and salami was brought to our able which was a lovely touch
• We all ended up ordering steak and I was pleased to find the service was really quick as I was one hungry lady
• The rump steak was delicious and cooked exactly how I wanted it to be
• I ended up getting some fries on the side which were pretty lovely too
• I ended up going for the crepe which was incredibly tasty but I did find it odd that I was given a spoon for it
• The spoon was perfect for the ice cream (which was quite possible the tastiest ice cream) but made eating my crepe a little on the tricky side
• I look at French restaurant with a rather overly critical eye
• If you like seafood this is totally your bag
• Oh and it's a sharing dish so if you decided to bring another uncultured brute with you then this totally the time to get Frenchified
• I've heard there are other things on the menu but I'm a heathen of habit so I've had this twice
• I love the green salad that comes with the bread and butter
• Because even the house wine from these countries are already pretty darn good
• Went there on a business dinner and it was a very nice experience
• Only bad thing is that we were a bit crammed
• Most likely because our group of 16 was a bit too big
• A piece of France in Scotland with some great traditional and contemporary cuisine
• The set meal that they offer is great value
• Good place to enjoy time with friends and family
• Had been warned that service is very French
