Jules - Casual French Bistro | Gastown, Vancouver, BC
We recently had dinner at a lovely little French bistro. Jules is another wonderful addition to Gastown, which is an area that is on its way to being one of Vancouver's hottest spots. Development is booming and I'm glad to see care being taken to retain the character of existing old buildings.The dining room at Jules is comfortable and airy with its high ceilings and many windows. I can hardly wait to also sit on their patio in summer. We all wound up ordering some form of beef for our entrées, so I can't comment on the rest of the menu yet, but everyone was very pleased with their dish. The sauces were delicious and the frites were hot and crunchy. Our waitress was helpful, offered wine suggestions, and the service, overall, was great.
If you opt for the fixed menu, you will receive fantastic value for only $21.00. Marcelo enjoyed a fresh bistro salad, AAA rib-eye steak with frites, and a chocolate terrine dessert. We are already anticipating our next visit and will make sure to try Jules out for lunch too.

I had beef tenderloin with a Morel Creme Sauce that was really really fantastic. The meat melted in my mouth and the sauce went very well. As for the Pomme Frite, I have had better. Maybe I am a bit of a French fry snob! Over all though it was a good meal.
I did think the service was good, they seemed very helpful and generally concerned that we were taken care of.
So all in all I will go back and give it another try.
p.s. The bread they serve with the meal was also really good!
