  “Came upon this gem of a place whilst visiting the area for work - myself and my husband were served by the delightful Jo and enjoyed the Tuesday night menu - escargots - French onion soup followed by perfectly cooked steak and beef bourguignon - what a treat ! Thank you”

  “We had a truly excellent meal at Chez Jules. The meats were tender and the seasonal vegetables a genuine delight. The portions were just the right size to leave us well fed without being over full. The staff were helpful and efficient and the food was served at a pace where you felt neither rushed nor neglected but had time to savour your meals and drinks. Chez Jules is a popular venue and gets very full; I would definitely recommend booking in advance.”

  “Chez Jules is my favourite restaurant in Chester. We’ve visited many times over the years and still offers excellent food and service. The restaurant serves a French style menu.We had booked a late lunch to catch up with friends. The restaurant decor is bistrot style with French posters and murals on the walls. Additional seating is available upstairs where they take advantage of the high vaulted ceiling, beautifully decorated. It was busy when we arrived, with people finishing their lunch. We chose the prix fixe menu ( served 12-6pm). Starters included pate, soup, chicken liver parfait or Waldorf salad. We chose the mackerel pate and chicken parfait. Both dishes were rich with flavour. For the mains we opted for sea bass with risotto and chicken breast. All mains are served with a pan of fresh seasonal veg and dauphinois potatoes. The ingredients were high quality and perfectly cooked. Everyone content with their choice of food. We chose crème brûlée, a chestnut mousse and cherry and white chocolate cheesecake for desert. All were beautifully presented, sweet and delicious. A range of wines, beers and spirits are available. The staff are professional and attentive. A must visit when in Chester, as Chez Jules never disappoints. Booking is advisable, don’t miss this one!”

  “We’d been really looking forward to our visit to Chez Jules, but unfortunately it was a little disappointing. The starters were nice enough pleasant, but nothing particularly memorable. For mains, my partner had the beef bourguignon which was quite overcooked and chewy. I ordered the onion tart which sounded great in theory, but the onion inside was still quite raw and not really cooked through. The vegetables served with the mains were actually very tasty though. It might have been because we were one of the last bookings of the evening, or perhaps the kitchen was just having an off day. The restaurant clearly gets lots of great reviews, so we were a bit surprised by the quality of the food on this visit. That said, the staff were really lovely and very polite. When we mentioned the issue with the beef bourguignon they offered to replace it, but it was quite late and we didn’t want to cause a fuss. The manager also kindly removed the price of my partner’s dessert from the bill, which we appreciated. Overall the service was great, but the food itself was a bit underwhelming on this occasion.”

  “We visited Tuesday night for the e we one deal, 2 courses and a bottle of wine each. The place was very busy so book ahead. The building is amazing just like the food. The staff were very professional but helpful with the menu. Most people had wine bottles on their tables and empty plates. Our meals were great, even nibbled a snail but not again for me but I tried it.”

  “Excellent food but not a great deal of choice for our taste.We had chicken breast ,friends had beef bourginone ,would have been good to see coq au vin instead of the more ordinary chicken . There were steaks available . We weren't struck on the choice of starter either but others may like the menu. Staff were very friendly .”

  “A wonderful restaurant, the food was hot and tasty. They catered wonderfully for out party of 9. They knew it was my birthday and greeted me with a glass of champagne. Plenty of fresh vegetables for the table. The service was on point. I would definitely go again.”
