Had a birthday dinner at Jules Bistro and honestly, the reviews online didn't lie. Everything we ordered was spot on. I had the octopus, which was cooked perfectly, and he got the steak frites.. super tender and full of flavour. We also started with the French onion soup and it was easily the best I've ever had. Our server really made the experience even better, he was super knowledgeable about the menu and checked in just the right amount without being overbearing. Overall, such a great vibe for a birthday dinner. Would 100% recommend and definitely going back. read more

Came here for the Tuesday half-off côte de boeuf deal and it was such a great deal! (it's typically $98, but on Tuesdays it is $49) We started with cocktails and the la vie en rose was so good. It was light, refreshing, and honestly kind of reminded me of Fruitopia (which might be exactly why I loved it). The negroni was well made, just not my usual go-to since I lean more toward fruity drinks. The côte de boeuf was really solid, especially for the price, and the fries were super crispy. The portion is big and is meant to serve two people. I also loved that they automatically serve it with both ketchup and mayo, small detail, but appreciated! They did forget our order at first so we were waiting a while, but once we checked in with our server, everything came out shortly after. Overall, a great spot for a date night, would definitely come back! Just a warning that their Tuesday reservations book up fast so make sure to book it in advance. read more

A wonderful place with an environment that matches the customer service. Came for our anniversary and were trying it out for the first time. Luckily our date was on a Tuesday and they have half price for the Côte de Boeuf with fries and a salad. The wine pairing was lovely. We ordered it Chicago style and it was done perfectly. The mushroom sauce was the star with our starter of the escargot but the dinner stole the show. Fries were slim but crispy and sustainable. The option of peppercorn sauce as a side for the steak was a lovely attachment to the meal. We also got a side drink of a Negroni, which was strong, and my drink 'La Vie en Rose' that tasted light and bright on a hot day. They even brought out our dessert with a candle and little thank yous for our celebration. Amazing. Would recommend 100% read more

I went here for my friend's birthday, and it was such a great vibe! The place was super clean and had a unique open kitchen at the back. The service was also very good, especially thanks to our waiter, Zimo. And let's not forget the food--it was amazing! The steak was really good. read more

Onion soup was vegetarian but still pretty good. It was lighter than usual & the toast was soaked through. There was quite a bit of cheese & onion. Côté de boeuf was simply cooked but good with good meat quality & cooked to specifications. Fries were pretty good - almost like McDonald's fries. Salad was decent. It being 50% off on Tuesdays was great value read more

Went to Jules bistro for a special surprise date dinner. At first service was very good. We had people check up on us. After placing the order, it was hard to get somebody's attention to help refill our water. Or we have to ask for some sauce. The escargot honestly wasn't not very good. The mushrooms overpowered the taste and it just felt like we were eating some sort of stir fried mushroom sauce. 5/10 The next side was the tuna tartare which was very good, but the baguette was a very, very, very hard. We both had a really big laugh on how hard it was. If it was served with some softer bread or not as toasted it would've been a 10 out of 10 side but with the baguettes served as at once I would say it's a 7/10. Maybe bring your own bread And for our main dish, we had a big steak with a Caesar salad and chimichurri sauce. I am pretty picky with my steaks. We asked for our steaks to be medium, rare more on the rare side. We prefer it not to be overcooked. The edges of our steak were really good. They were spot on on the medium rare. In the center, though it was rare borderline raw. Unfortunately, we weren't able to get anybody's attention and we were starving. So I had the less cooked pieces while my significant other had the more cooked ones. The chimichurri did not taste super fresh unfortunately heavy on the garlic and the oil very light herb taste. The fries were very nice. Do you wish we had got a little bit more to be proportionate with the steak. For special night out, I do recommend this place not for the sides, but just for the steak. It is a little hard to get some waiters or waitresses attention. But I think the food is worth it. read more

FIRST OFF 7/10 for FOOD. Rounded up to 4 stars due to service being nice and the deal is good. 50% off Original price is $120 so $60 is special price. Cote De Boeuf on tuesdays is definitely a steal! The platter is good enough to share between 2 people, comes with french fries and spring salad. Upgrade to caesar for $5. Felt like the appetizers and mains were lacking, for apps we got the bone marrow on special and beef tartare. Both didn't taste flavourful and not super refreshing. Kind of was easy to get a reservation as long as you get a week before or you can walk in, saw a few seats at the bar could possibly walk in? The interior is a bit dark with a french interior. Open concept kitchen and bar. Restroom was clean and downstairs! Not sure if I would go back, only would go back for if my friends would really wanna go, as I had better steak elsewhere. But the deal is super good for what it is. Steak was lacking salt and flavour. read more

My friends and I came here on Tuesday for their 50% off special on the cote de beouf (normally $120). It's perfect to share between two people as the portions are massive! The steak was well cooked but lacked a bit of seasoning but we asked for some salt and that helped with the flavouring! You also have the option to upgrade your salad to a Caesar for $5 which we did not one of the orders. We also got their bone marrow (special) app and beef tartare. Both were delicious but nothing extraordinary. Our server was extremely nice and friendly attentive to us which helped me have a higher rating for the restaurant. The restaurant had a decent amount of seating both regular and bar seats! Overall I would definitely come back again for the special as it's an amazing deal! read more

Took my partner here on a surprise date because we heard about the Tuesday special (half-price Côte de Bœuf platter). The interior was very pretty. I particularly loved their wall menu. While the service in the beginning was very accommodating and prompt, towards the middle to the end, it was quite hard to call them over. Even just to ask for water and a takeout sauce, it took quite sometime. In terms of the food, we ordered the half-price Côte de Bœuf platter with a Caesar salad , tuna tartare and escargot. For the steak we requested rare, but found it to be a little too rare as many parts were tough and chewy. But, I will say they seasoned well. The waitress encouraged us to get the chimichuri, insisting that it was delicious, but unfortunately, it did not meet our expectations. We were anticipating fresh, but it tasted solely like oil. As for the tuna and escargot, both were ok, but we did find the bread that it came with, to be more than hard. It actually hurt to bite through. Overall, this experience felt like it fell short, especially since there was so much hype. read more

Absolutely loved my experience at Jules Bistro! This place is a cute little spot for a intimate dinner or drinks - located right on queen st w near trinity bellwoods, it's easy to get to and not super crazy packed on the street like king west (barf) We booked the bar and honestly.. there is nothing quite like steak frites at a bar! Our bartender, Ellie was sweet, kind and attentive. Not to mention she nailed every single drink we ordered. The dirty martinis were absolutely divine, and you know it's made with high quality liquour because my head isn't pounding this morning. The spicy marg was also great! Their bar area is so cute with all the fixings. The escargot came with a really creamy mushroom sauce - unusual but I vibed with it and it was really delicious! I had the steak frites as well which came in a huge portion! They perfected the rareness of the steak and everything was 10/10. I think this place is amazing - and I'll def be back! read more

Jules Bistro is simply outstanding. The steak is always cooked to perfection and full of flavor, easily the best in Toronto.

Jules Bistro - Còte de Boeuf - French Near Me - Toronto, Ontario

Came here on a Tuesday around 8:30 pm for the half price Côte de Bœuf special, and it was packed, clearly a popular Tuesday spot. They've been running the special for a while now, and it's easy to see why. We started with the escargot, which was really well done and a great way to begin the meal. The steak special is a 24-oz ribeye meant for sharing, priced at $60 per person for 2 people. We substituted for the Caesar salad which was a great idea. Steak and Caesar combo is elite. It's a good bang for your buck for the amount of food you get. The steak was cooked properly, I'm used to a bit more seasoning, so we asked for salt and pepper, which made it perfect. The fries were solid, and I liked that they served them with both mayo and ketchup. We had 2 glasses of Bordeaux, which paired nicely with the meal, and finished with dessert. There were three options for the tarts (apple pie, blueberry, and chocolate), and we chose the blueberry tart, it was phenomenal and easily a highlight of the night. The couple next to us said the chocolate one is also delicious if you're a fan of chocolate. Service was attentive and genuinely friendly throughout, even with how busy it was. By the end of the meal, we were comfortably full and very satisfied. A great option for a casual date night or a lively Tuesday dinner. read more

Came here for the Tuesday special where the steak frites for two is about $50 (Half Price). We will start with the tables. Service was good but we were seated at a table where there were small drips of water leaking directly above the table. We noticed it when we got our soup and requested to move. That was fine but another couple got seated at the same table with the problem. Instead of avoiding it they allowed them and eventually they noticed and had water dripping over their food. For the food. The French onion soup was good we enjoyed it. Great flavour and cheesy with the toasted bread. The steak was overly salty and all we tasted was salt. That unfortunately ruined the steak for us. Getting a seat here took us to book a month in advance as well. They didn't do any walk in for last minute cancellations. read more

I had a Marseilles Mule. I didn't think it was anything special and told the server. I followed that up with a Moscow Mule which was marginally better but ideally should be served in a copper mug. We enjoyed the last six oysters for an appetizer. Also had the salmon tartare ( main size) as an appetizer too. It was good. It's Tuesday night and that means it's 1/2 off Côte de Beouf. It's a AAA 24 oz. rib-eye. I thought it was cooked to perfection as I had stated I wanted it medium rare. In fact I thought it was the best prepared rib-eye I've ever had. I only seasoned the steak with the peppercorn sauce that accompanied it.. I try to be mindful most times of consuming low/no salt if possible. I noticed other diners overwhelmingly were enjoying this same dish. It was served with French fries and salad. Was the steak worth paying full price of $118 on any other night outside of Tuesday? Probably not but it was a good piece of meat. They did pre-slice it for you which I'm not a fan of but was presented well. This came with a bone. Despite certain criticisms I wholeheartedly recommend this establishment for Tuesday night! The ambiance was cozy. The service was welcoming. read more

We came here for the Tuesday special but we left kind of disappointed. The server was really good and our server was mostly ok. He did mess up on a cocktail that I ordered and gave me wine instead. The food itself was meh. The steak was overly salty, where we had to chuck it down with water. It also had a lot of fatty pieces. Their French onion soup was really good. Would recommend that. One of the most disappointing things was the vent was dripping water down while we were dinning in. They switched our table upon request. We thought they weren't going to seat anyone to that table anymore after notifying them, but nope, they continue to seat people there, and that couple also requested to be moved. That's tells a lot for a restaurant. If they know something wasn't going well but will continue to seat propel there, is crazy. The atmosphere in the restaurant was cute. It felt cozy, but it does get pretty loud. read more

Came here on a Saturday evening for their famous steak frites, and it did not disappoint. Went to the Trinity Bellwoods location with a reservation. Was greeted with friendly service,a very cozy and relaxing atmosphere, and ordered the following: Steak Frites - Sliced 6 oz. Sirloin Steak served with fries and salad. The meat was tender and juicy, and was cooked and flavoured well. It also had ketchup/garlic aioli dip on the side. Its a must order Saute de Poulet - Sliced Chicken Breast in a bacon, mushroom cream sauce. It was delicious and their homemade cream sauce perfectly goes well with the chicken breast. Highly recommend too if you are looking for something outside of steak. French Onion Soup - also tried their freshly made French onion soup. Rich with broiled onions covered with croutons and cheese on top. Highly recommend this place and already made reservations for their Tuesday special to try their côte de boeuf platter at 50% off (normal price is $98). Can't wait to come back! read more

We came here without a reservation and we're lucky enough to be seated at the bar in the far right corner right. We were handed menus and waters right away and then left for a good 15 minutes before we asked for service. Did me know the owner was sitting right across from us at the bar and wasn't very attentive or conversational. I give this place a two star rating because the steak was delicious. Everything else could've been improved. We were there was a miniature rendering that someone had created of the restaurant and next to it was an album that we asked if we were able to flip through. Both of our surprises recognize an individual who grew up with as one of the photos and when we asked the owner, he shrugged his shoulders and said yes, I know about individual and walked away. We found his attitude to be so dismissive because we thought it would've been a great opportunity to strike a conversation with patron at the bar. Even With the half-price option, I would not return.. read more

I've only ever exclusively come here on a Tuesday for their 50% off côte de beouf and honestly it's so worth it. The platter comes with a AAA grade ribeye steak, these crispy fries (with a ketchup/garlic aioli dip) and salad! The platter is quite filling in my option and is definitely meant for two. That being said, the combination of flavours makes this meal so delicious that sometimes I'm tempted to have it all for myself. I've tried a few of the desserts here (the tiramisu and tarts du jour) and I always seem to be disappointed with them. Maybe because the platter is a hard act to follow? The desserts aren't bad by any means, just a bit bland for my taste. I think next time I'll just stick to the côte de boeuf. While you maybe think this would make an ideal date spot, I will say that the place is super cozy, almost too cozy for my liking. It can get cramped on Tuesdays but I mean, with that kind of deal, it kind of makes sense. If you decide to go, make sure to plan it in advance. They are almost always fully booked on Tuesdays and often times you have to reserve weeks in advance to get a spot. read more

I love steak frites! The best thing about Jules is that they have a special on Tuesday where the côte de bouef is 50% off. The normal price is $98 so imagine all the value you get on a Tuesday! If you're planning to come on a Tuesday, you need to book in advance... and by advance I mean like a month LOL. It's VERY popular. If you look on the online booking portal, it's usually booked weeks in advance. The restaurant is also very cramped. Though it's kind of expected considering how popular it is. You'll probably find yourself hearing other conversations so definitely not the place to gossip. The servers are very attentive though! Now to the food. The steak is amazing. The portions are big enough to feed 2 people, and even 3. I think the steak is very well cooked and nicely seasoned as well. Though, my partner did mention she feels as if the steak does need more salt. The frites are very thin and crispy, just how I like it. We did have some crème brûlée for desert, though it was a bit bland to me. Nothing to rave about. Overall, it's amazing value if you come on a Tuesday. read more

Its "The 6" time, and I'd like to share w/ you the places we ate at, and visited while we were in Toronto. Jules is a French bistro located West of the Entertainment District where we stayed. After a late arriving flight, taking a train fr YYZ to DT Toronto, a taxi to the hotel, and an Uber to Jules, we wanted a real meal. We arrived @ 9:40ish thinking they closed at midnight. Luckily for us they said we could order. I ordered the salmon frites, while she had the steak frites (no picture). This dish hit the spot for me. The salmon was fresh, nicely seasoned and moist. Likewise, the frites were GBD and plentiful. The salad on the side was a nice surprise to add some roughage. I had a bite of the steak and it too was nicely seasoned, and a good cut of meat. I thought the pricing was very reasonable. Regarding the ambiance, its very quaint & loud in here. As you enter, there is a short bar to your right. The tables are towards the rear, and they have space for larger groups. Quentin was our primary guy, and he was so friendly and helpful. The fellow at the bar was also super nice, as was the remainder of the staff. I told my travel companion that I wanted to have our first meal at Jules, bc I looked at the menu and read the reviews. They exceeded expectations, and made us feel so comfortable. read more

Always love Jules Bistro, the cote de beouf is amazing! I always upgrade to Caesar salad (it's around $3) and it's half price on Tuesdays (around $60). Can easily feed 2 no problem, especially with the mountain of fries. Service is great and quick, but reservations for Tuesdays need to be made around 2-3 weeks in advance. Totally worth it though as they're always great!! read more

Finally got to come here again after two years. My partner and I really enjoyed the food the first time we went so we've been wanting to go. We went to a different location before and this one had a cute French bistro feeling to it. It wasn't too busy on a Monday night and there were only a few tables (I believe they also have a back patio). We grabbed the cote de beouf and some drinks as well. The steak came with salad and fries. It was cooked perfectly and seasoned well (although I did find some parts to be slightly salty). Was surprised how the fries stayed crispy despite being under the steak. They gave us such a huge piece that we didn't have room for dessert. Would definitely come back here again. read more

If I could give more than 5 stars I would... Because we were coming here for the Tuesday half price cote de boeuf, we had to make the reservation a few weeks in advance. The location is bit out of the way from downtown core but the trek is totally worth it! We got the cote de boeuf cooked medium rare with mushroom truffle sauce, it was well seasoned and tender and the fries were super fresh and crispy. The waitress also recommended the mussels special which was really delicious as well. We will definitely be coming back again! read more

Jules Bistro is a French restaurant with two locations in the city. We went to their Trinity Bellwoods location for their Tuesday night special which is 50% off Côte de Boeuf. We got lucky that we were able to snag a last-minute reservation for 4 the day of, especially after this deal went viral on social media. The ambiance is very cozy though the tables were quite close together so it was a bit cramped walking through the tables. What we got: - Côte de Boeuf Platter (24 oz. AAA Grade Ribeye, Salad, Fries) - Peppercorn Sauce Final Thoughts: Our party of 4 split two orders of the Côte de Boeuf platter and it was great! Came with a side of fries, a small salad, mayo/ketchup for dipping, and the steak was cooked to medium-rare. I think it was good, but I probably wouldn't pay full price for this dish. Depending on your appetite this may not be enough food either. Each platter was split between two girls who also ordered drinks, but we left with room for dessert after. The peppercorn sauce was an extra $5 and it was good to try but for the price I could do without. Great date night spot for something special, but doesn't make my list of go-to places. read more

Issa vibe, is what the kids say. The ambiance at this place is perfect. Cozy. Cosmopolitan. Alive. Sexy. I don't know if it was the nostalgia of being on Queen West after so long or the perfect lighting, or the sophisticated cacophony, or the in-crowd vibe, but Jules Bistro was a hive of coolness tonight. It wasn't even because I was there...that usually deducts points on the cool scale, it was just the moment, intersected with a well appointed space and human energy. And the food, pray tell? Scallop appetizer: Beautiful. Steak frites: The frites were next level. Think McDonald's but if it didn't make you regret it after ten minutes. Maybe they do them in duck fat or something but they were crisp without being greasy, savoury without being too salty, and addictive without being obscene. The 6oz sirloin was cooked nicely but had gristle that was too hard to handle. Maybe not rendered fully or something...it detracted from what was an otherwise decent steak. At $30, it was priced fairly...any more and I would have been annoyed with the proportion that was inedible because of the gristle. My dining companions had the pickerel special, which they enjoyed and looked delicious. It was pricey at $44 but they didn't complain. Overall, the food and the service were good but took a back seat to the ambiance. I'll be back to soak it all in. A la prochaine, cher Jules read more

Classic spot with good service and good food. A regular spot for a consistent date night

their steak and frites special is so worth it for sure. it's really good for the price and worth coming back for

This is probably my favourite restaurant in Toronto that I've been to in a while. I came here for dinner with my bf and we got oysters and escargot for appetizers. It was both our first time trying escargot. I was a bit hesitant as I wasn't sure I would like the texture but it was prepared very well. The sauce it came in was really good and we liked how it came with mushrooms. For our main we decided to get the rack of lamb to share. The lamb was perfectly cooked and fries reminded us of McDonald's fries but better lol. We both enjoyed our meal and left very satisfied. We look forward to coming back to try their Côte de Boeuf and other appetizers. read more

I've been here twice, and both times for their half off cote de beouf Tuesdays. I wanted to give it one more chance after the first time, but I won't ever go back. The staff are very sweet but the steak isn't worth even the half off price. The cut of meat isn't great and had a ton of tendons running through them and it's not the most tender. The tarte tartin is also pretty terrible, but the crème brûlée was the one really nice thing I've had there. read more

Came here with a couple friends to try out the Tuesday deal of half price cote do boeuf and it was absolutely worth it. Upon walking into the restaurant you notice that it's very lively and everyone's having a good time. It's nicely lit, and there's a lot of seating inside, but there's also some patio seating as well for people that are looking to sit outside. We got a couple appetizers; octopus and mussels, and then the cote du boeuf as our main. The appetizers were pretty good, but the main focus of the meal was definitely the steak. It was cooked perfectly and seasoned very nicely. Overall everything tasted really delicious and I highly recommend checking out the Tuesday deal. read more

Jules Bistro feels like one of the few authentically french restaurants in Toronto - even all of the servers spoke french which was pretty cool. They have a nice bar to sit at for dinner, so I stopped by with a friend to try the steak frites. It was very solid all around, though would've been perfect with a bit more butter on the steak. But the highlight for me was the creme brûlée which was delicious! read more

Steak was very tough and dry but our server was very kind and gave us great recommendations :)

I have this bistro sitting on my to-try list for the longest time now and finally found the time to try! We got an early dinner reservation after watching a musical and when we arrived, the host took us to our table which was at the back patio. I asked whether it would be possible to be seated inside since it was pretty hot and she was kind enough to find space. We decided on the escagot as appetizer and Cote de boeuf for the main to share. I had never had escargot served in cream sauce before and was a little hesitant. However, I was happy with what was served. The cream sauce wasn't too overpowering and was well seasoned. Cote de boeuf was nicely done as well. Portion wise, it was plenty for 2 girls to share. The ribeye came in medium rare as ordered, and the house salad and fries were awesome pairing. Another plus point for me was the tomato that came with the Cote de Boeuf, it was nicely seasoned but the tomato itself was sweet! read more

Dined here twice and both during COVID times. Food: Nice French inspirations. The French Onion soup is absolutely sinfully delicious. My favourite appetizer used to be the octopus but since COVID, it's gotten too pricey for me at least. The steak frites are a staple and a solid choice for a main. Atmosphere: cozy and LOUD space, always very noisy so if you're looking for quiet, dine at the bar or front. Service: Great, no complaints. Dinner for 2 with no drinks is about $100. I do miss the Spadina location with the special chef seating... RIP Overall, SOLID 4 stars and still highly recommend a try. Sending my love Jules! read more
