The reviews do not lie here people!!! This place is an absolute must if you're in Edinburgh. If you are a foodie or a French food snob this is the place for you.
Lets start with the atmosphere. This place is packed, but if there is a wait, you need to wait. While it might be overwhelming at first, it has a very intimate, yet friendly setting. This is definitely the place where friends get together for a fun dinner without breaking the bank. Not to mention when you are first seated you are brought complimentary bread, olives, and salad! I love when restaurants do things like this because it's a small difference that keeps customers coming back. It really set a nice tone for our experience.
Moving onto food. The mussles are WOW. The white wine butter base is phenomenal. I only ordered the starter portion and it was plenty for just me for dinner. Overall the mussles are a 10/10 for me. The french onion soup is a must. I think the caramelize their onions first because there is a very specific sweetness to it for being such a savoury soup. Overall 10/10. Lastly, we ordered fish for the table. We were not expecting it to come served with the head and having to debone it ourselves. BUT it was an experience that we all enjoyed. It was also the best fish we had in edinburgh. Very fresh, flakey, right amount of seasoning.
If you're in Edinburgh do yourself a favor and head over to Chez Jules.

This is the place to brunch! This is not boujee brunch, but a lovely place to congregate with friends or family for a laid back Saturday morning.
Atmosphere: Loved the hippie dippy vibe. Again very casual and laid back. It's the place I'd want to go if it was a rainy, chilly Saturday morning.
Food: Nothing about this food is fancy by any means, but this is a great place for porridge, hummus toast, or eggs. Again, very cozy and chill. The porridge with the crumble on top is the best way to go in my opinion. It was so good that 2 other people dining with me ordered it as well. We also did an order of the hummus toast with za'atar, pickled shallots, chickpeas, and parsley. It was the most basic food, but so comforting and each bite was delicious.
Reservations: Make one! If you don't you will be so upset that the wait is longggg.
The reviews are no joke, this place is totally worth every star! If you live in Edinburgh or are just visiting this place is a must!
