    came here with a friend and ordered the prix fixe for two: escargots, cotes de beouf and creme brulee service was also really good , our waiter was very attentive. host was super sweet greeting us on the way in as well. lovely place to grab dinner or to catch up with friends :) they also have half price Côte de Bœuf on tuesdays !! food was exceptional with good portions. the escargots were cooked in a mushroom cream sauce, served with toasted bread. the steak was seasoned and cooked sooo well. also came with fries, green salad, and a small side of vegetables. we loved the creme brulee.

    Went for a team dinner on a Tuesday party of 11. It was great, our server was so friendly and very accommodating. My coworker wanted a bloody mary and they didn't have the ingredients but went out to buy it so they could make his drink. The main platters for 2 on Tuesday are 50% off. Duck, lamb and prime ribbon (cote de bouef). We had escargot in cream sauce, grilled octopus, steak and salmon tartare and cherry chaud. You know w had a vegetarian and he was able to eat well too. The onion soup and Cesare salad did not disappoint. Neither did the lemon tart and creme Brule. My coworkers who ordered chocolat crepe said it wsnt that great but everything else was well seasoned and delicious. Will definitely go back on a Tuesday!

    Not a big beef eater so although we went on a Tuesday when the steak was half off, I got the chicken. Came with a lot of fries and some veggies. Food was good but I don't think worth the price for the amount of chicken provided. The ambience was nice but dining experience was very dark. We were seated at the back and I couldn't see my dish to tell if I was about to eat a mushroom or a piece of chicken. Service took awhile. Table was also a tight squeeze as each steak came on a full cutting board. Overall dining experience was ok, but wouldn't necessarily go back.

    We decided to try this much raved about place and it certainly held up the the hype. They "walk the talk". Our person was Goergiana, who was not only terrific but extremely helpful with the menu options. Jules has a 1/2 price Tuesday special with regards to main dishes and we opted for the steak platter, done medium. It was perfectly seasoned and the fries were classic Parisian "frites". The cut had just the right amount of fat without being grisolly. Our "appy" was the scallops which were slightly undercooked but with just enough sear on the outsides. This is not a negative, but an observation. We quaffed our thirst with Aperol® Spritz, the perfect summer cocktail. They could have added a titch more soda, Prosecco or Aperol as my partner thought it seemed a bit "shy on the levelling up", but again, the taste was right. We ended the meal with an espresso and Tarte aux Myrtles. This is a blueberry pie with a marzipan base. The crust was classic French buttery and flakey. It was a hit. Good portion and massive taste without being overly sweet. The restaurant per se was not jammed when we arrived as there were a number of empty tables. I'm assuming they were booked like we did. Note to patrons, they book with a credit card and if you fail to attend, you will be dinged $25. I think this is perfectly fair as this is not a "MacDo" as their caption reads - "Ceci n'est pas un macdo". Totally legit and terrific ambiance/vibe. The staff are very friendly and attentive without barging on you when you have a mouthful of food. We will definitely be coming back Peace out - JP

    It's not a feast without some steak & this time we feast Jules Bistro in Leslieville Famous for their half-priced steak platter, I managed to get a table for 2 more than 1 month in advance! My verdict: it's quite overrated (I'm sorry!), for a medium-rare steak it's kinda tough & the peppercorn sauce was somewhat bland, it didn't really hit the star of the show is the definitely the fries, it's giving McDonald's honestly I had high expectations given the hype around Jules Bistro, also the service was kinda meh. Maybe we were somewhat underdressed, compared to everyone else who were there for date night (we were in our corporate fits fyi). Maybe the steak platter will be different at their main location on Queen West, so like this review if I should even bother making my way there

    Was empty on a snowy weeknight. Tasty bang for your buck food! Jules Bistro Leslieville although not as popular as their other location, is definitely most known for their Tuesday special of Cote de Boeuf served with salad and fries. Unfortunately, I was not here on a Tuesday but definitely have had it before and it's delicious! I got the steak frites for myself that came with a 6oz. striploin steak served with fries and salad. Fries were perfectly fried and crisp. Steak was good for its price. You can't go wrong with this meal at $26.95! Dont' skip on the creme brulee to end your meal though! Definitely was a highlight of the meal and was so tasty! Washrooms are in the basement. Service was good. Quiet restaurant on a weeknight, but thinking they probably get busier during weekends and not during a heavy snow fall day!

    Stopped in for their Tuesday special featuring Cote de Boeuf- 24oz AAA grade Ribeye served over fries and salad. Also ordered their escargot and salmon tartare for appetizers before finishing the meal with Crème Brûlée. I personally like their main and dessert. Appetizers were a tad bit underwhelming. Staff are very friendly and efficient. Love the overall vibe here.

    Loved it here! We sat on the patio. All of the food was great. Parts of the duck were a bit tough and dry. Other items we got were good!

    Pretty good, pretty pricey. Stopped by for lunch and got: - Salmon Tartare: Salmon was fresh, though was a bit crumbly and would have liked just a bit more seasoning. - Steak Frites: The fries were amazing - properly stringy, crispy, and just the right amount of salt. The striploin steak was ok but just a bit chewy. - Grilled Octopus: Liked the spicy oil rub, and the octopus was cooked really well. Side potato salad was ok though a tad lumpy. Patio game is strong with good spacing. Service was professional and quick. Overall, it was fine, I guess I was just expecting more for the price. Maybe we should have just gotten the cote de boeuf that everyone's raving about since it ended up costing us almost the same. Oh well.

    Chocolate and Strawberry Crepe
    Cindy H.

    Definitely one of my top picks for favourite restaurants in Toronto! If it wasn't for the fact that the location is so far, I'd be dining here very frequently. We had the Cote de Boeuf which was a 24oz steak platter that serves 2. Honestly... one of the best steaks I've ever had. You will not be disappointed - juicy, tender, and just melts in your mouth. We finished off the meal with the chocolate and strawberry crepe and it just took me back to France. The crepe was so fresh and soft, and they used real melted chocolate (not Nutella)! The staff was super friendly and the ambiance had a cute French vibe. Loved it. Tip: they have a Tuesday Cote de Boeuf half price special!

    Last night my wife and I went to Jules Bistro for the first time. The restaurant had really good ambience and I really liked the open concept kitchen. There was a lot of art through the restaurant and one of the walls was a giant chalkboard with their menu and specials written all over it. It looked like a classic French bistro. It wasn't exactly fancy or fine dining but it had some nice little touches such as the glasses and steak knives they used. My only complaint was that the music was pretty loud and at times my wife and I had to almost yell in order to hear each other. Now to the food - the specials for the day sounded delicious, especially the green bean salad and the spicy grilled octopus but we came there for one thing - the cote de boeuf for two. The cote de boeuf platter included a 24oz AAA ribeye steak, a mountain of crispy shoestring fries, mixed greens salad and a grilled whole tomato, served on a wooden cutting board. The portions were huge and very filling for two people. The steak was quite tender and the salt, pepper and dry rub seasoning complimented it very well. We found some parts of the steak, mainly around the muscles and fat to be chewy and harder to cut through, but that might be because the steak we ordered was rare. Next time we will definitely go with medium rare. The fries were crispy, salty and not too oily, they were excellent. The salad was especially good because the vinaigrette based dressing and all of the greens really helped to contrast the heaviness of the steak and fries. The cotes du rhone we ordered was also very good and reasonably priced. The staff were all very friendly and there were no complaints whatsoever in terms of the service. We will be back to Jules Bistro again soon as there are several menu items we are interested in trying. Four stars.

    Boy was I stuffed after Jules. Came here for a celebratory dinner and it did not disappoint. For a table of 4, we ordered a variety to share family style and it was plentiful. The ambience and service was amazing. Really intimate setting that lets you talk without having to shout over the background noise. I'm loving the east end and what it's becoming. The cote du boeuf is a must get. Shares of course. This will fill you up on its own so come hungry. The fries were cooked to perfection. Crispy on the outside and nice and soft on the inside. The tartar and escargot were amazing appetizers that was really well done. I could have gone without the grilled octopus if I really had to nit pick at something. It was good but in my opinion did not wow me. The crepe and creme Brule was incredible. Definitely must get to put the cherry on top. Overall, great time, great food, and great experience.

    3.5/5 Make sure you go to the right location! I saw a few people go to the wrong location. Smh. We came here on a Tuesday night for their half priced cote du boeuf special (and it seemed like everyone else did too!). The portions are surprisingly large however I thought the meat was super fatty so almost half of it went to waste. The escargot was a bit of a disappointment as well, it was mixed in with a mushroom sauce which made it seem like there was a lot more escargot. I may give this place another shot...but maybe at the other location.

    Cote de boeuf. Upgrade to Caesar salad.

Do not take reservations for small groups. Ordered Spring Rolls, Pad See Ew, and Pad Thai. All dishes were really good. Spring rolls had more mushroom taste, but lightly fried. Pad See Ew had great flavor, not too oily or salty, and had great quality of beef. Chicken pad Thai had balances sweet, sour, and savory notes. Portions were generous, but expect to pay over $25 per plate. Mango Sticky rice good not great, since mango was super ripe to add sweetness. Plenty of coconut "sauce" to flavor the rice.

The confit salmon had a texture between raw and medium-rare, not dry at all, but not as raw as sashimi. The dry-aged steak was incredibly tender and juicy! Every bite was bursting with the aroma of the fat. The six courses cost a total of 115 pence, and the servers didn't neglect the guests despite the lack of a tipping policy.

This was first on our list, located in the Scotiabank Tower on Adelaide. We got a nice corner table, and the atmosphere was warm and inviting, not too loud but not library-like either. The music, mostly UK fare like their cuisine, played an acceptable volume that my friends and I didn't have to raise our voices. We were seated very promptly, and our server took care to attend to my friend's allergy. She even asked to change my friend's cutlery when another server brought the wrong salad. My appetizer was a hot-smoked salmon pâté, which was ok by itself, but eaten with the pickles gave it that taste I wouldn't forget. I chose for my main the Petit Roast Dinner; the cut was excellent, full of flavour and juicy to boot. The gravy for said cut just brought the roast to another level. The sides were delicious as well, especially the crispiness of the potatoes. A clean plate was the end result! Finally to finish the meal, I chose the chocolate banoffee cheesecake - I never pass on any cheesecake when it's offered. And it didn't disappoint! The banana brûlée was an interesting touch, while having toffee sauce drizzled on the cheesecake was a first (and not definitely last) for me! All in all, it was a nice introduction to The Rabbit Hole, and I can't wait to go down there again!

Very helpful and pleasant people. I wanted something small, so opted for their pork tacos. You get 3 small pork tacos for $14.75, which is pretty good in terms of value. They were surprisingly meaty, and tasted decent. They would probably make a good sharing item for the table as they were quite salty. Now, if this were a taqueria, I would not be impressed with the tacos. So if you are expecting "proper" tacos, don't order them. Go to a taqueria, lol. But this is a corporate chain pub in a city, whose main goal is to make a large swathe of people happy. So within this context, I think they did a good job. I would totally be ok to come back and try something else another time. I also had a local hazy IPA which was lovely. Overall, it was a good experience and I would go there again.

    Food: 5/5 Service: 5/5…read moreAmbiance: 4/5 Food: We had our office holiday dinner here and 15 people attended. We did a set menu which had 3 courses. The first course was Labneh with bread, hummus, & beef tartare. Second course was Lamb pide & pear salad. Third course was grilled branzino, middle eastern fried chicken, black truffle rice, and thrice cooked fries. Then there was dessert which was chocolate mousse cake & baklava. Because of my many food allergies the main server for our table was very attentive & specific in asking me what I wanted as modifications. For example I got a wagyu beef pide instead of the lamb. Every dish was really delicious, presented well & quite filling. I couldn't eat all of the food. Though I tried almost everything. Service: The pacing of the dishes was quite masterful. They really paid attention to when the food was going to come out. As I mentioned above the main server was very attentive to my food allergies. I really appreciated that as some restaurants aren't as attentive. The food was served family style so everyone could take what they wanted from the serving dishes. The dishes were served in little bowls along the tables with each bowl serving about 4 people. We had asked for one long table so it was a little snug. But we made it work. Ambiance: For dinner the lighting of the space is really dim. LOL. I would have appreciated just a little bit more light. The restaurant is in an old building so to use the washroom you had to go down two flights of stairs. The dining area is small also. But it's a pretty space. As mentioned above we asked for one long table to seat 15 people. I was expecting square tables but it was a bunch of small round tables pushed together. So the tables were really crowded with food from all the dishes. But the servers made sure to take empty serving dishes away as soon as possible. The music was a little loud for me so I had to yell to be heard. The place was packed though. Everyone at our table enjoyed the food, the service & atmosphere. The restaurant is close to Roy Thompson Hall & the other theatres nearby so it's a convenient location as well. It's too bad this place is only open for dinner. I would have loved to see how they would operate a lunch time service. In any case, Byblos was amazing. I would come back here again to try other dishes! Note: Some of my pics of the main dishes didn't turn out so it's mostly desserts that are pictures

I grabbed a seat at the bar, ordered a drink, and listened to a podcast to wind down. It was exactly what I needed.

The bartender was witty, he advised everyone near us at the bar to whip out our phones, because he was about to put on a show. Check out the video I added!

I ordered the Atlantic salt cod (fried cod balls) and while they were super good, the presentation left me thinking, "I could have totally eaten this in my giant robe in bed."
