French food is almost a mythical thing ... you know great cuisine in Paris exists but finding it can prove to be a bit of a task in a city full of beautiful looking little cafes and restaurants which can either yield Ruby Tuesday-quality tourist slop ... or made with love French cooking. When asked where the best restaurants in the city were, our friends started by telling us, 'First of all, you never go anywhere near the Champs de Elise ...' We must have found the exception in Chez Julien because we really liked our meals there. The atmosphere here may have something to do with that. The outdoor seating section looks exactly what you'd expect to see if you were picturing fine continental dining during a more glamorous era, like the 1960's. Red carpet, white tablecloths, jasmine vines and white china with silver servers. On a beautiful day, they say this is one of the most photographed restaurants in Paris. The hostess stand is front and center and unless you have a reservation, there will likely be a 10 - 20 minute wait. Not too bad ... there is a small inside section but mostly outdoor seating. Your fellow diners will likely be wearing jeans and polo shirts during lunch service. They cater to a touristy crowd and most who walk by and see it end up fallibg in love with the ambiance and getting a table on the spur of the moment. It is a little off-putting to dine in a fancy setting along with someone who looks as though they are dressed to shop at Home Depot, but such is society today. The hosts and some waiters wear black tuxedos to someehat make up for it. We had the steak au poirve which was cooked well and served with frites. While the seasoning on the steak was bland ... no salty sear/crust and the little peppercorns it was dipped in lacked any 'bite' the sauce made up for this with its creamy texture and absolute 'French-ness'. The fries were seasoned well and served as a small portion. The house bread was good and mixed drinks were crafted carefully and meticulously although the prices were sky high for drinks and their potency was weak. I'd stick with the wine here which, like most French restaurants, comes in small glasses. Unlike the comparatively fishbowl sized goblets of red wine you find at American restaurants, you will pay dearly to get drunk at a French restaurant ... I guess the expectation is that you should be buying wine by the bottle vs. the glass. A mixed drink here sets you back $20 but its the best tasting drink I've had in a while. The waitstaff is busy, so you won't see them often but they are friendly ... even to tourists wearing outfits less fancy than the typical Parisian would wear while gardening. One interesting note ... the unisex bathrooms are upstairs connected to a sitting room which features zebra skin furniture and a table featuring a collection of vintage French porno magazines and old Playboy magazines from the 1960's. This was our favorite meal in French sitting outside on a sunny weekend day watching the people pass by and with a beautiful view of an old church in the distance. read more

Service was appalling. We were looked down on because we didn't speak French . The waiter was openly hostile . We waited for 70 minutes for our main course . Over priced & the food was nothing special . read more

Ambiance The decor was beautiful and inviting. Each table had a lit candle, and the lights were dimmed as dinner service began, which created a warm atmosphere. The space photographed well and felt thoughtfully designed. The restroom is located upstairs and has only one stall for males and female but it is equipped with high-end items like a Dyson hand dryer and Universelle Buly soap and dispenser. There's also a patio and sitting area, These small touches contributed to a polished, luxurious feel. We arrived earlier than our reservation and asked if we could be seated ahead of time, and the staff kindly accommodated us. Food and Service We ordered the truffle risotto, boeuf Angus for two, which included salad, French fries, and two sauces. The bread service was a pleasant surprise, although it was not listed as complimentary on the menu. No butter was provided, so we had it with the soup that arrived later. The food was good but not mind blowing. I found this restaurant through TikTok, and while the aesthetic lived up to the videos, the overall experience made me realize that if I had checked Yelp reviews beforehand, I likely would have chosen a different spot. The service started well but declined significantly throughout the evening. Our server changed midway with no transition or introduction. The new server which the manager also mentioned it was his first day, and unfortunately that was reflected in the experience. Questions went unanswered, water was never refilled, empty plates remained on the table, and there was no follow-up on our orders. Multiple people approached the table, many appearing to be bus staff, leaving us unsure who was actually responsible for our service. There was also confusion about the order. A soup was served that we did not request. Since some restaurants offer small starters, I assumed it might be complimentary. Later, we learned it was added to the bill, and I was told that because I ate it, I needed to pay for it. While I understand paying for something consumed, the lack of communication made the situation confusing. The risotto was another concern. We asked about it early on, but received no follow-up. It appeared to be added late and quickly prepared without confirming with us, arriving hot but undercooked. If someone had followed up, we would have cancelled it, especially since the boeuf Angus for two was already filling. When we brought up the concerns with the manager, we were told we needed to communicate better. While communication matters, the absence of attentive service, lack of proper server handoff, and minimal follow-up made it difficult as guests to know whom to speak to. The responsibility should not fall entirely on the customer. Overall The ambiance was stunning, but the service challenges and the mediocre food overshadowed what could have been a lovely evening. read more

Came here per friend's recommendation and so yummy! Very attentive service and a chic vibe. We got the lunch of the day combo (white fish tartare, risotto and sorbet) and the beef tartare (comes with fries and a salad). The glass of pinot noir was a bit pricey (compared to other cafes) at €12. Total came out to a little under $90 after conversion - great quality and so yummy! read more

We stumbled on this place because we were so hungry. Unfortunately it did not live up to expectations. We both got a croque monsieur which was overpriced! It did taste fine but not for the price.

Curious about the bad reviews here, as everything was really nice and the service was great! We went in at a little bit of a weird time, and just got drinks and appetizers. We got pommes frites (of course), and a delicious burratta/egg dish. This was so good, we actually got it twice! The drinks there were also delicious. This place is in a very cool area, and not super touristy. The staff spoke pretty good English and it was very clean inside. Definitely recommend. read more

The food, the ambiance, the service were phenomenal. It's just a quintisential Parisian experience by the river! Especially if you do it during the opening ceremony of the Olympics !!! Even a simple salad bursts with freshness really brightens and wake up the greens when done the way it is here. The escargot had an intense depth of flavor with garlic and herbs, married with the butter on bread! The meal was just perfect, and it's SERIOUSLY all because of the bubbly gorgeous half American half French server Salomé !!! I basically came in that day to Paris and was a little overwhelmed. I asked for her recommendations and she just took over and asked me a couple of questions and suggested what my meal should be. She even suggested one of the best wines to compliment my meal !!! Incredible person and personality! I hope she reads this, cause I cant thank her enough. I will be recommending this place to all my friends and family in Paris and those traveling to Paris. read more

Horrible place!! As a tourist they put us in a completely different location where there was no music. They were not serving us well and the food was okay. read more

I got food poisoning here! Avoid! I had the chopped veal tartare with truffled pearls, french fries & salad. Not sure which ingredient caused the problem. I didn't eat anywhere else all afternoon and evening, and woke up overnight throwing up and with major digestive issues. Emailed the restaurant to let them know about the issue, and they called the next day denying they were the problem. Extremely bad experience. Don't eat here. read more

Chez Julien canceled my reservation without warning and when I called for an explanation they were rude in the most cliche French way. Do not go here. There are a million other good places. No need to be treated rudely. With so few stars, perhaps I dodged a bullet! read more

Cozy spot near the seine. We stopped for some espresso and a snack, got the frites with truffles but it was not good truffles, it was more just hearty mushrooms in my opinion, didn't have that truffle flavor. That being said, they were delicious! read more

This is my first google review- would never care to complain about a place but this restaurant was one of the worst i've ever experienced in terms of quality, food, and service. I feel compelled to say something to help others avoid our mistake. We excitedly came to this spot after multiple friends recommended it. We began with apps which were great and anticipated our meal to be equally delicious. For our main course we ordered the truffle risotto & the steak for 2. I served myself a portion of the risotto and dug right in. Out of no where I feel a sharp pain in my back tooth- quickly i realized i had something sharp in my mouth...... it was a BLACK SCREW- literally should be in a tool box. I quickly spit it out and tried getting our waiters attention. After 10 minutes pass someone finally looks in our direction. He was extremely apologetic & kind. We would've expected the manager to come over to apologize and smooth things over. Instead we get two free desserts which ended up being frozen solid and truly inedible. We still ended paying around 200 euros for a meal with a screw. Horrible meal, horrible service- could not recommend less. Truly do not waste your time or money. There are tons of hidden gems in the area- this is an easy skip. read more

Actually want to give it 4 1/2 stars. We made reservations for this past Wednesday for four. Three of us had the lamb chops which we all got pink as good lamb should be cooked on the rarer side. It was pretty damned delicious! It was served with creamy mashed potatoes that were absolutely perfect. My husband had the Chateaubriand with truffles which was served with a pepper sauce and fries. He loved every bite. The portions were generous. We got three chops each. And the Chateaubriand was a nice thick cut. The setting is quite lovely. We were seated on the enclosed terrace. Service was good. The wine was good but very pricey. Overall a great experience. Only complaint is the prices were a little steep even for Paris. But even so we would definitely come back. read more

Absolutely amazing! The food was absolutely fantastic, service was great and the ambiance at the restaurant was great!

Ok let me just start off with the non-existent service that occurred, not only to myself, but the whole rapidly growing space and the one lone woman who hadn't seen service is ages. Ok let's start there, they were accommodating to my dogs joining me, but less hospitable than other restaurants, seeing them more of a task than a joy, bad vibes you know? (In paris they largely love dogs and they're allowed everywhere with some very rare exceptions). So see this woman to the left of me like she's, French, and she's patiently waiting, but yet I can sense a bit of wtf. So time goes by, too much time.... No service comes for forever until I got up and needed to speak to the manager. The manager slowly came over after what the hostess seemed to almost taking personal calls during work. He says "is everything alright", to which I responded, "absolutely not" and basically how I explained how our section hadn't been helped and than I pointed to all the people, as the original woman who was sitting there grinning ear to ear lol. I was highly disappointed at this point, I don't really care about me in these situations, I know how to get good service on my own, thanks Dad!! But for the other people I pulled out one of my oldest lines to get a restaurant in shape or at least service, "Michelin, sent me here, now what can we do about this situation?" Or Gazat in the states either worked depending on importance lol. There's no way to verify it either and as Shakespeare once said, "we all are actors and the world is a stage", so I feel no guilt driving this restaurant just because it's what should have happened. The sections issues disappeared after my comment of course. The food was at best average but very expensive for average, the steak was in blue which is bloody when I wanted it medium rare and I found the truffles added absolutely nothing but price to the dish which was already subpar compared to the competition around it. French Ok, permettez-moi de commencer par le service inexistant qui s'est produit, non seulement pour moi, mais pour tout l'espace en croissance rapide et la seule femme qui n'avait pas vu le service depuis des lustres. Ok commençons par là, ils étaient accommodants pour que mes chiens me rejoignent, mais moins hospitaliers que d'autres restaurants, les voyant plus une tâche qu'une joie, de mauvaises vibrations vous savez? (A Paris, ils aiment beaucoup les chiens et ils sont autorisés partout avec de très rares exceptions). Alors voyez cette femme à ma gauche comme si elle était française, et elle attend patiemment, mais pourtant je peux sentir un peu de wtf. Alors le temps passe, trop de temps.... Aucun service ne vient pour toujours jusqu'à ce que je me lève et que j'aie besoin de parler au responsable. Le directeur est lentement venu après ce que l'hôtesse semblait presque prendre des appels personnels pendant le travail. Il dit "tout va bien", ce à quoi j'ai répondu, "absolument pas" et en gros comment j'ai expliqué comment notre section n'avait pas été aidée et que j'ai pointé du doigt tout le monde, comme la femme d'origine qui était assise là en souriant à l'oreille oreille lol. J'ai été très déçu à ce stade, je ne me soucie pas vraiment de moi dans ces situations, je sais comment obtenir un bon service par moi-même, merci papa !! Mais pour les autres, j'ai sorti une de mes plus anciennes lignes pour remettre un restaurant en forme ou au moins un service, "Michelin, m'a envoyé ici, maintenant que pouvons-nous faire face à cette situation?" Ou Gazat dans les états soit fonctionnait selon l'importance lol. Il n'y a aucun moyen de le vérifier non plus et comme Shakespeare l'a dit un jour, "nous sommes tous des acteurs et le monde est une scène", donc je ne ressens aucune culpabilité à conduire ce restaurant simplement parce que c'est ce qui aurait dû arriver. Les problèmes de sections ont disparu après mon commentaire bien sûr. La nourriture était au mieux moyenne mais très chère pour la moyenne, le steak était en bleu ce qui est sanglant quand je le voulais moyennement rare et j'ai trouvé que les truffes n'ajoutaient absolument rien d'autre que le prix du plat qui était déjà inférieur à la concurrence qui l'entourait. read more

MOUSE IN THE HOUSE OF JULIEN Wife and I traveled to Paris in October 2023. We tried for a walk in reservation on a Saturday night but there was no availability, we thought that was a good sign. We made a reservation for the following night and were seated in the veranda. The Le Francais cocktail was excellent, the escargot was the best part of the night. We also had the crab dish - there were crab shells in the dish and the dish had no flavor. We ordered the roasted chicken for two. It's shown to you before it's cut and then brought out with potatoes. As we were eating the bland and dry chicken, a mouse crawled along the window sill in the veranda next to our table and jumped on me. It was our fourth day in Paris and we had yet to see any mice or rats at any restaurant or alleyway. I told the server what had happened and she laughed saying that happens all the time. I couldn't eat anything after that, I lost my appetite and my night was ruined. I was expecting some courtesy and some compensation when the check arrived. NOTHING. I had to tell the server that we deserved some compensation for our troubles and for the fact that we left the majority of our chicken because of our disgust. The Maître d'hôtel walked over and said the mice were normal. I didn't care. We only had our cocktails comped. This is an embarrassing way to treat customers. There are hundreds of restaurants. Stay away as the mice and dry chicken are not worth it at Chez Julien. read more

Food was fantastic, although the en pointe steak was medium well at best. We must've looked American. Would return!

Our service was amazing! The food was fresh and delicious! Reservations are recommended. 5/5 stars!

Fabulous food and perfect service in a classic old building old fashioned in the Marais. We loved the Carré d'agneau (rack of lamb), the Chateau Briand and the Mushroom Ravioli with truffles. They specialize in truffles. Excellent wine list too. Lovely people. Don't miss this gem. The cheese platter we ordered for dessert was classic ! Five stars for sure!!! read more

This was by far my favorite restaurant in Paris! The food was incredible and the customer service was out of this world. I am so impressed and grateful for such hardworking people who had waited on us. They were extremely kind and made sure we were well taken care of - every minute. The vibe was romantic and peaceful. The whole style of the restaurant was classy yet simple. Highly recommend this restaurant if you're ready to spend a couple of big bucks! read more

One of the best places I ate at in France. The only con is that it is more expensive than most restaurants. But the food was soooo good. Service was normal and nothing great or horrible. Nothing we ordered tasted bad. See the pictures of all the great stuff. Pretty area and great to sit and enjoy a nice dinner. The truffle mashed were so good too that came with Dover sole.

I am going to have to agree with Katie G's warning! DON'T pay attention to the negative reviews! As someone who loves great restaurants and great food, I can say that Chez Julien was the BEST! We went on a Friday night (we had a reservation for 8pm) and got seated at a wonderful little corner table (although there really aren't any bad tables). We were treated with a very warm and cozy welcome! Our appetizers were delicious! And the main courses were amazing, as well! We asked for a wine recommendation from the directeur that turned out to be perfect! SO, here is why I stand by my 5 Stars: We loved this place so much, we asked if there was a table available for the next night (a long shot since it was a Saturday). I was sure the answer would be "no" but instead it was "we are fully booked but I will find a table for you". Right at that moment, I cancelled our reservation for the following evening at the restaurant we were to dine at. We arrived Saturday night at 8pm and had a lovely table reserved for us. And, the restaurant was, in fact, fully booked (every table taken). The meal was just as wonderful (including the foie gras, which was not made with Vaseline as stated by Lelia K). ;) Now, to address the bad service and attitude that is mentioned in some of the previous reviews: NOT TRUE! The maitre d' was again, so welcoming and attentive and the waiter and waitress were so nice. I HIGHLY recommend Chez Julien. It's location is extremely charming, the restaurant and atmosphere is so beautiful and cozy at the same time. The service was wonderful! (and p.s. - the music was great! I want the playlist!) Chez Julien is my new MUST visit restaurant in Paris. read more

Fois gras made with Vaseline is not a typical favourite of mine, but according to the maitre'd it is the best in Paris. I only fine dine, so maybe it's better than what the tramp found in the bins over Paris? I should have asked to clarify. Chez Julien is certainly not what it used to be. 2011 and 2012 we returned there every day for their famous pink salmon. In 2014 it's more cold and over cooked than delectable. Other tables stared at their plates in bewilderment, "but it's just not, what I would say, edible!" One star for the sunshine. Minus stars for paying bill yet starving. Minus stars for bad coffee. read more

Chez Julien - The beautiful menu, one of the only attributes to Chez Julien. - French Near Me - Paris, 75

We made the mistake of booking Chez Julien for Christmas Eve for a party of 5. The experience was flawed from beginning to end. The venison entree served to 3 of us was inedible. Walking through the restaurant, it was clear that many people felt the same way. We could hear the adjoining table complaining to the waiter about their service and meals. For this experience we were charged 140 Euros each. Roughly, $770 USD. This sad saga began with looking for a restaurant on OpenTable that was taking reservations on Christmas Eve near Notre-Dame. We booked Chez Julien online on 12/15. Two days prior to our flights to Paris we received a call from the restaurant asking for a deposit since it was a busy occasion and promising to send us an English menu via e-mail. Having not received the menu by the 22nd I began to look at the restaurant website where I discovered a special, limited menu and the surprising 140 Euro price tag per person. At this point, realizing the menu didn't offer anything appealing to a few of our party, we asked if the standard menu was an option. When we were told no, we asked if we could cancel our reservations. The answer was not without forfeiting our 250 Euro deposit. We decided we'd simply go for this special event and enjoy the best that the restaurant had to offer. Upon entering the restaurant, we were told we were going to be seated outside, in an enclosed, heated - no smoking area - but outside. Our table which was tucked into the corner and was sloping to the point we were worried the candle would fall over and start a fire. It was cold. We laughed it off and thought, we'd keep our chin up and have fun. The champagne offered was delicious and most of us really enjoyed our appetizer. We ordered a nice bottle of wine. The service was very unresponsive to our needs. The most attention we got were multiple requests to stand up so they could access a closet behind us to adjust the patio heaters. Our water glasses repeatedly went empty. Our main courses arrived several minutes apart. After encouraging those with meals to eat, the venison dishes finally appeared. We were never asked how we wanted our venison prepared or how the meal it was. The deer was dry and mealy. I could not choke it down. This was followed a lack luster dessert, which for the 5 of us, was oddly, 3 of one item and 2 of another with no chance to choose. My wife and I attempted to express our disappointment with the management and was told no manager was there. "Look, I'm just doing this as a favor for my friend. If you come back tomorrow (Christmas) he'll be here. Would you like another glass of champagne?" At that point we just wanted to get out of there and put the experience behind us. We felt totally swindled. Certainly, the worst (and the most expensive) dining experience we had in our ten days in Paris - our anywhere for that matter. read more

Great spot for summer lunches and dinners, they have a huge outdoor patio under the sun who can makes you feel like you're somewhere else but you still have a view on Paris architecture!

In a week of dining in Paris with careful consultation of Yelp reviews, this was our only unfavorable experience. The food was good but not great and the quality of the food did not correlate with the price. Also the experience was not special and the pricing is high for less than special. I was served a cold cappuccino - it tasted like a cup of coffee was half filled with cold milk. Also everyone in the restaurant had a bread basket except us. It may be true that I don't need anymore bread but it would have been tasty for mopping up the lobster ravioli sauce!! We did not have the experience others reported of waiters explaining the French menu. I used my trusty google translate app. And did the best I could!! All in all with so many good choices in this neighborhood where the restaurant team is happy to see you, I advise not going to this restaurant unless you can read and speak French. read more

Franchement a nightmare . So having lived in France for 6 months and my journey there was ending. My boyfriend and I decided that he would join me in Paris for vacation. This was suppose to be our ultimate dinning experience, the cherry on top and it was oh so disappointing. Service : This petite pute greeted us with stinky face and it all went down from there. I was not comfortable at all. (I speak french and ordered everything in french so there was no language barrier. ) Food: horrible I had the foie gras and it was disgusting . Having had a tone of foie gras for christmas I was craving it so I ordered it. Total disappointment. Then I had the coquilles St.-Jacques totally blend, rubbery and totally repugnant. After spending 400 euros dinning there I felt so strong about suing my travel book author company that recommended this place. WILL NEVER GO BACK . Save yourself the trouble head to Chez Janou although you will still encounter the french attitude at least their food is delicious. PS: 0 star . The 1 star is only for review purposes read more

Five stars for a "best ... I've ever had" achievement: the peach bellini. Made with fresh peaches and quality champagne, it was one of the most refreshing cocktails I've ever had. The ambiance is a bit different than all the crowded sidewalk cafes and bistros in Paris. Many of the tables at Chez Julien are to the side of Pont Louis Philippe in a make-shift garden, which makes the dining experience more intimate and romantic. And the old-school French Playboys in the bathroom lounge were très sexy as well! read more

Q: Who did you go with? A: Fiance and 2 of her friends. Q: Did you dig it? A: Dug it. Q: Why? A: Although the food was decent, the ambiance was great. Q: Anything special? A: The French couple next to us offered the remaining half of their bottle of red! And we struck up a pretty awesome conversation. They taught us some French and we taught them some English. Very cool! Q: So it looks like you would go back, eh? A: Yea but definitely not by myself. Oh and dress nicely! read more

This is the best meal I've had on our trip. From the decor, the upstairs "starry" room, the friendly yet informative staff, beautiful tasty food...everything was spot on.
