best little bistro When we hear the word “jewels” our ears tend to perk up. In this case, it turned out to be “Jules,” but we were sure glad we were listening. Just opened by a pair of Frenchmen who know their Gaelic classics is the lovely Jules bistro in the Dominion Hotel. (Having just built Fuel and Gastropod, one of the owners knows his design, too.) We loved the pretty chandeliers, black lacquered ceiling, traditional tiled floor and exposed brick. What we loved even more was the steak frites ($15) and half roast chicken with thyme jus and pommes purée ($15) at dinner. Starters like Salade Niçoise, Tartare de Saumon and Terrine de Campagne are all less than $8, and the prix-fixe salad, steak frites and crème caramel is just $21. We think you’ll agree that this one is indeed a jewel. Jules Casual French Bistro, 216 Abbott St., 604-669-0033, www.julesbistro.ca |
