We recently visited with friends and sat inside . However there is a wonderful terrace which would be delightful in good weather . Service was excellent and very warm . The food was very good including the crab toast , the chilled cucumber and nettle soup , the beef tartare and for main courses the monkfish tail , (lemon) sole meunière , the onglet and the crab and scallop tortellini . We drank a wonderful Spanish white wine which was suggested by the sommelier . Great ambience and a lot of fun .

Oh dear. Encouraged by a couple of favourable newspaper reviews we went for a midweek evening dinner. First, the waitress behind the bar while we waited for our table was great (although brought still water when we asked for sparkling, but these things happen). From then on… Service once seated was slow, inattentive and uninterested. White wine came when we ordered red wine - funny, in isolation. Then having ordered snacks, starters, mains and sides: one starter arrived on its own with some bread before anything else, then a couple of snacks, then the other starter. This isn’t a small plate restaurant, it’s a restaurant where the kitchen and front of house can’t bring food in the right order or at the same time. Our mains arrived without their side dishes and after a couple of minutes of waiting we flagged a waiter down (there are a lot of them but they’re not doing much serving) who then looked utterly panicked about the missing food. Some salad arrived a few minutes later, a few minutes later some frites, a few minutes after that some green beans. At this point we’d already eaten most of our mains. I say most, but the kitchen wasn’t paying care and attention to seasoning - I like salt on my food, but this was way way way overboard. I left half of my main uneaten, and the sides weren’t finished either. Like eating a salt brick. At no point did anyone check on the meal, apologise for the late arrival of 60% of it or ask at the end how it was. We skipped desert, paid an left. In hindsight it’ll make for a funny story about a terrible restaurant with pretensions - but what makes me mad is that some people will save up to go for a birthday, or anniversary or something special because of the press reviews by identifiable critics. Don’t do it. The couple next to us were celebrating a birthday; both looked broken by the end and nobody seemed to care. If you live next to it then fine, why not, I imagine it’s more fun than microwaving a ready meal and on that basis alone the culinarily challenged of Holland Park will keep it in business. But if you enjoy eating or appreciate good service or live more than a 5 minute walk away then why bother?

Excellent lunch for two, great food and service. We loved the trout pastrami, courgette rice, crab and scallop tortellini and the cauliflower with barley was a great vegetarian option. Good bottle of Albariño was a reasonable price. Cherry and almond tart a delicious way to end the meal. Will be back

A very nice and cozy restaurant. The wine, food, and staff are very nice, and the customer base is very good. I had lunch by myself, but I was glad that they were able to accommodate me even without the main course. When you order a dish, the sourdough that comes with it is warm and the pink spread is very delicious. I fell in love with this shop, which feels like Paris ♡ (The customer service is even better than Paris, lol)

WOW! We had a fabulous 25th Wedding Anniversary at Julie’s Restaurant tonight and we’ve never been to a restaurant so attentive! The staff were wonderful & really helpful. Our meal was great, from Quails Egg snacks to the Crab Toast - fabulous! We then had some Oysters with a Bloody Mary Shot (one of our favourite combinations) - very good. Followed by the Lobster Soufflé, with new potatoes! You only need one shared with two as the Soufflé has a sauce around it (like a thick Lobster Bisque itself! We followed on with the Cherry & Almond Tart and my husband had the chocolate Pave dessert! Wow this dessert had to have 100% Cocoa in it! We met with Tara, the owner who is committed to maintain and continue Julie’s Restaurant’s status, as one of the most iconic venues to be visited, with a relaxed bohemian atmosphere, friendly people, great attentive staff. Definitely a restaurant to be visited! Food - tick, Atmosphere - tick, Value for money - tick. 100% recommend to everyone!

Being local we have eaten at Julie’s in its various incarnations over the years - I can honestly say this is the best yet. Tables nestled on the pretty pavement among the trees, menu original and most importantly delicious, without being contrived. Staff seem to really enjoy working there and it shows in their service which is friendly without being intrusive. Pricing fine for Notting Hill. Thank you for a lovely low key meal.

We were sadly disappointed by Julie’s. The majority of the staff seemed young and inexperienced, the management and owner were not friendly at all and the decent food and drinks didn’t make up for the service and ambience. This used to be an old haunt of ours but I won’t be returning.

Food was average at best for such a hyped up French Bistro. Wine and wine connoisseur was excellent. Our waitress was just awful and extremely rude. She was just rushing the service. Clearing table and dishes when we said we were still eating. One of the desserts was “cheese selection” and upon asking what selection of cheeses there were I was told, “something from Shropshire or some other shire” then she said Chef says “selection”. Finally upon asking again I was told exactly what cheeses I was about to get for my £20. Overall average food, terrible service. I wouldn’t read other newspaper reviews which were clearly bought for publicity.

We went for Sunday Lunch and was disappointed to find a "brunch menu" only available and not a full menu choice. First impressions from outside on a beautiful sunny afternoon were WOW. But when we went inside and were offered a table we were surprised how close the tables were together. You could not get into the back seat without moving the table to one side, and you certainly could not have a private conversation. We said we were not happy with the table and after a short wait did manage to get a different table with a bit more of a gap. The food was ok wouldn't rave about it. The service was very poor to the point that we had to continually ask where our food was and could we have our wine glasses topped up from the bottle that was placed away from our table. The little area where we were seated next to the entrance and stairs was a constant runway. All the tables next to us complained about the service and we collectively mentioned it to the Manager. I even asked for the service charge to be removed from our bill, which the manager totally understood. A great shame as we had traveled a long way and were looking forward to a leisurely lunch. Not sure I would make the journey again.

We were excited to go for Sunday lunch to the newly refurbished Julie’s. They only offer brunch on Sundays with a fairly limited menu. We had 2 fettuccine, an omelette and quails eggs on sourdough. The fettuccine was very stodgy pasta, definitely not Al dente and the other dishes were underwhelming. It was very busy and the staff looked frazzled. We waited nearly an hour to be served. We were seated by the staircase where the waiting staff were constantly bringing up the food from the kitchen to the tables. A very strange set up. Disappointing.

This is the place to be now. Julie's has always been an icon but I never liked the updated decor of the old venue.

Firstly, the restaurant is beautiful, and the decor is phenomenal. The ground floor has a strong fish smell, but fortunately, we were seated downstairs where there was no fish smell and it was quieter. With a group of eight, the downstairs area was perfect. We sampled a large portion of the menu, and overall, everything was good. Only one dish was subpar, but nothing was outstanding either. The meat was good, the fries were great, and the mashed potatoes were nice. The spider crab was decent, and sharing one between two people is a smart choice. The bacon butter is incredible. The lobster Caesar was okay, as was the beef tartare and crab tortellini. The duck à l'orange was dry and tasteless. The highlights of the meal were the lobster soufflé and the bacon butter, which essentially came with the bread basket. The staff was friendly, and the wine selection was excellent. However, the service needs improvement. We had three different bottles of wine, but our glasses were never refilled without having to call a waiter, which was difficult since we were seated in a booth. Overall, I do recommend Julie's, and I'm confident their service will improve over time.

Cute place that just reopened after 2 years. Food was extremely pricey but it’s expected from the hype/fame it gets. It’s very tasty tho. Drinks are surprisingly not too expensive. Tables are so close together we literally know the couple next to us was on their first date because we can hear what they talk about. Outdoor seating seems nice but I can’t imagine the trouble that I have to go through to secure a table.

We visited for dinner on a Saturday evening. We received a warm welcome and I was impressed to see the kids being offered colouring books, which is a rarity at the types of restaurants we frequent. The venue has been nicely set up and we were seated in a booth on the ground floor (there is also a basement level as well as terrace seating). Myself and my wife ordered the spider crab toast, pea panisse, prawn carpaccio, beef tartare, asparagus, scallop tortellini, lobster soufflé, the onglet, and sides of carrots and fries. For dessert we tried the chocolate pave and the creme caramel. The kids were offered a tomato linguine and they also shared some of our food, finishing with ice cream for dessert. The food was generally solid, favourites were the crab toast, beef tartare and the scallop tortellini. Both desserts were winners as well. Service was charming and there seemed to be a lot of staff around which helped things to move along efficiently. The bill for our family of 4 came to £311, of which £72 was spent on drinks. Overall, I wouldn’t say the food was outstanding but it was quite enjoyable throughout and it’s a nice buzzy venue with good service. They get extra points for their fascinating back story, their desserts, kid friendliness and not cheap but not exorbitant pricing (definitely could be worse in this neighbourhood!), which pushes them to a 5 star overall rating.

I was looking forward to my visit to Julie's, I had high expectations since its re-opening as a local round the corner. The tables were crammed together and there wasn't much space. There shouldn't have been a table where I was sat, as it was right next to the till and the staff had to squeeze past behind me when they wanted to move. For most of the evening the waiters were pushing past my shoulder and chair, at one point a chair was lifted over my head to get past. They were bickering between each other too around the till and we couldn't relax. The starters were good but when the mains arrived the plates couldn't even fit on the table. We had already asked to move a couple times as there were many free tables but were told that it wasn't possible and we didn't want to sit outside either (it was cold). The staff didn't seem to care about how we were doing until we asked to move for the 3rd time as they had to move candles, condiments and other items off the table just to get the mains on, which still didn't fit as our plate were half off the table. We got moved at that point. The food was good however, I enjoyed the big Ribeye steak with the marrow on the side, but when you don't have a good experience what's the point in going out. The restaurant looks good for brunch or drinks outside maybe in summer but I did not have a good experience dining in. They didn't seem too bothered either, waiters nor managers.

Julie's has recently reopened, after closing down. This place is incredible... the food is absolutely superb. The chef that is there now is amazing... I was blown away by the quality of food. The new owner was gracious to come and introduce herself to the patrons. I understand she went to Julie's when she was younger so has taken this on as a passion project.. which is absolutely obvious in the quality of food and decor. It's a real credit to her and a love letter to the history that this institution holds. Only one slight area I would suggest needs work is the service.. it isn't bad.. it was just chaotic. It needs some fine tuning with a solid maitre'd. I will definitely be back.. have already told many contacts to go here! It's a true gem.

Celebrating our parents' 53rd wedding anniversary was truly wonderful. From the moment we stepped through the doors, we were enveloped in a warm and inviting ambiance, where the soulful melodies of live piano music mingled with the tantalizing aromas of expertly crafted dishes, wetting our palates for the culinary journey ahead. The meticulous attention to detail was evident in every aspect, from head Chef Owen’s thoughtfully curated seasonal menu to the impeccable service provided by the highly attentive staff. Tara, Patria, Rachel, Daniel, and all the attentive team ensured that every moment was tailored to our needs, anticipating our desires before we even had a chance to voice them. Their vision and dedication has transformed this beloved, aging establishment into a modern culinary haven, breathing new life into its storied walls. Each dish was a masterpiece, meticulously crafted with the finest ingredients and a harmonious blend of traditional techniques and modern flair.

Julie’s delivered- more than delivered- on every front. We had the most wonderful lunch, we felt so well taken care of by the staff. The atmosphere was joyous, with live piano, amazing interiors and a welcoming vibe and energy all round. The food was impeccable: a mixture of classics and interesting dishes I had never come across, with ingredients that were clearly in season and so carefully sourced. The home-made bread with the daily butter was heart-warmingly delicious. Obviously the lobster dishes etc are expensive, but there are some very reasonably priced dishes if coming in a budget- for example, the best steak tartare I’ve ever had. The drinks were great, I had bubbly and also a tomato martini which was divine. And OH MY GOD the desserts. We had a cherry tart which we paired with chocolate mousse, but also had some of my friend’s unreal cheesecake. Overall perfect experience, Will be returning soon and often.

I was absolutely floored by my experience at Julie’s. It beyond exceeded my expectations. I got to the restaurant early, and a hostess warmly invited me to have a drink outside or at the bar while we waited. I had one of the best cocktails I’ve ever had: a beurre noisette (can’t recommend enough!). We were then sat at our table- the decor was chic and inviting, and the atmosphere was buzzing. We couldn’t decide so ended up getting a few things to share- the highlights for us were: - pea panisse (pictured) - crab “toast” (pictured) - lobster soufflé - steak with bone marrow - beef tartare - cucumber and nettle soups - rhubarb and almond tart The portions are generous and the food IMPECCABLE !!!! I cannot stop thinking about the lobster soufflé. The menu is original, the concept unique, the food incredible. Also the bread is freshly made every day! I’ve already made my next booking - Julie’s has become my must go to and it is adding new life to Notting hill !!!

Alright, buckle up because Julie's in W11, London, is not just your average restaurant – it's a whole experience! Under new ownership, this place has transformed into a culinary paradise that'll have you coming back for more. Let's start with the food – French-inspired cuisine that'll make you feel like you've been transported straight to Paris. It's all about those rich, indulgent flavors that leave you wanting more. And here's a little secret: their raw bar is top-notch. I'm talking about the freshest seafood you've ever tasted, served up in style. Oysters, shrimp, you name it – they've got it, and it's all oh-so-delicious. Now, for my veggie friends out there, you're in luck because Julie's has got an amazing vegetarian menu too. I'm talking about dishes that'll make even the most die-hard meat lover drool with envy. It's all about fresh, seasonal ingredients prepared with love and care. But wait, there's more! The cocktails? Fantastic. The wine selection? Stellar. The outdoor space? A dream come true. And don't even get me started on the cozy downstairs area – it's like being wrapped in a warm hug. Oh, and did I mention the owners? They're the cherry on top of this already delicious cake. Always there with a smile, ready to make sure your experience is nothing short of amazing. So, whether you're in the mood for a fancy date night, a catch-up with friends, or just some good old-fashioned indulgence, Julie's is the place to be. Trust me, you won't be disappointed. It's like a little slice of culinary heaven right in the heart of London.

Quite possibly the only place you’ll ever need to go to in London, from now on until, well… forever, really. For brunch, for lunch, for dinner. For a date, catchup with friends, or a party night, Julie’s does it all. And with such style! Julie’s has been an absolute institution since the 1970s and was at the very top of London hotspots for decades, counting the likes of Mick Jagger, Princess Margaret and Princess Diana as regulars. Annie Lennox came by often, Kate Moss celebrated her 17th birthday at the restaurant, and Tina Turner danced on the table in a corner known affectionately as the “G-spot”. It remained a venerable neighbourhood favourite all the way through the decades, and now the amazing Cordon Bleu-trained new owner Tara has taken the helm together with an amazing team. She is reimagining the iconic restaurant while bringing back the effortless elegance of the original, and keeping the neighbourhood spirit at the same time. And the results speak for themselves. Absolutely every single detail is carefully thought out. The decor is gorgeous and the atmosphere incredible, and each and every dish and item of food, elegantly presented in French brasserie style, and created by an awesome team under the auspices of Chef patron Own and the well-known front of house manager Emma, is simply delicious. On weekends, there is even a live pianist playing all the best tunes from Elton John to Billy Joel. A place I’m sure to return to, again and again.

I hosted a lovely dinner party at Julie's on Wednesday night. We were downstairs - it was a perfect mix of charm and history, and it was an absolute blast! It's opulent interior has a seductive fusion of sultry reds, alluring deep pinks and plush velvet. The food is equally impressive - the sole meunière and Lobster souffle were to die for! And the sommelier was an absolute legend! This place is pure magic and I can't wait to go back! Thank you to Chef Owen, Tara and the whole team for such an amazing night :)

I was so impressed by the service. The interiors are stunning and the menu and wine list are to die for. This reboot of a Holland Park establishment is a MUST visit for anyone who enjoys delicious French brasserie cuisine with a fun and cheerful ambiance! Don’t sleep on the cocktails which were some of the best I’ve tasted in a long time!

PHENOMENAL! The food, service and vibe are all absolutely amazing. I really loved the cucumber soup, steak tartare, and lobster souffle'. A wonderful place for a nice and fun dining experience, and the cocktail bar downstairs is fabulous. On brunch in the weekends there's even a wonderfully charming pianist who plays upbeat tunes, which creates a wonderful atmosphere. I highly recommend the seafood tower!

Booked Julie's for a dinner with 2 colleagues from Germany who were staying at the Hilton by Shepard's Bush. They had eaten there the night before but Julie's was a welcome change. While the room we ate in was a little bit cold, the service and food were well received and warmed us up. Starters ordered included the Scallops and cured salmon, both delicious and served with fresh warm sourdough. Mains included Wild Cod and Duck breasts served with sides of Julie's yummy Tripple Cook Chips and green beans Desert highlight was the Baked Alaska, which my 2 German colleagues had never tasted but they are now converted!

We really liked this place & hope to get back often. Food was outstanding, vibe was really pleasant & relaxed, especially the service which set a friendly, soothing tone. I think we all have fish, accompanied by an excellent Chablis. Highly recommended.

If you want to go to an overpriced restaurant that serves microscopic hors d’ouvres and entrées, then this dreadful restaurant is for you. I literally could have finished my entree in four forkfuls. £34, that would be £8.50 a mouthful 😂 To add to the contemptuous stance towards its guests, I had booked for a specific time four days prior, only to receive a message in the afternoon of the evening reservation, that it had been pushed back later. No explanation, no reason given. But as I said previously, you’ll leave hungry from Julie’s, I did and was starving by the time I arrived home. Avoid like the proverbial Plague.

Made an account to specifically write about this atrocious place. I had gone in expecting the experience of a lifetime but instead I happen to see staff being treated horrendously! There was no welcoming atmosphere or an OUNCE of respect. Completely put me off my food, although there was nothing to enjoy in the first place. I had to send it back as I received it stone cold and when I got it back it was in bits. The place was unclean and the toilets were ghastly. Very angry and upset would not recommend.

All as I remember from years ago. Great food, lovely service and atmosphere. However, I do feel they need to offer the service of ordering a cab, not expect clients that have dined there, particularly if they dont live in London, to then walk back to the main road. At the very least have a number they can give clients. a call

It’s a lovely local restaurant located in a quite community area. The food was pleasant, but the waitressing should be more delicate and professional. Overall, the dinner experience wasn’t the most outstanding, can put a little more effort into the services.

Me and my partner dined at Julie’s for lunch today and it was a pleasure as always, I feel as though I should mention as I can see the couple below has left a review, and I’d like to say I witnessed this first hand they were extremely rude to staff, completely arrogant about the fact they literally waited 10 minutes for food before they asked for the bill I watched the whole thing! It’s so hilarious that people go out of there way to write false reviews to make themselves feel better! Poor Ralph - having to deal with customers like that. We have been coming to Julie’s for years and will continue to go! Thank you ralph and team for a wonderful time as always!

Arrived on time ordered asked for the kids food order to be sent to the kitchen then ordered for us a starter to share, took a while but the risotto and starter arrived at the same time. We ate and then asked them to clear away our food and start the main but leave the kids food. 20Minutes passed and we had a fidgety baby and asked for news of our main. We were told that we needed to wait since they started the main after clearing away our starter. No apology, no let me check, just plain told to wait. We queried this and were told we were rude. Waited a further few minutes then asked for bill and were again told we were being rude. Alll we asked was for our food which apparently is rude to do at a restaurant. Meanwhile our neighbours main arrived - he had sat down after us. In total we were in the restaurant for 1 hour. Food that arrived was good but rude and arrogant service is not going to go down well for a neighbourhood restaurant (and we live literally 2 minutes walk away).

Me and my beautiful wife had our first year anniversary here. We made a note on our booking that it was our anniversary and they went above and beyond to make this a special evening for us, we sat in one of there intimate alcoves downstairs and had first class service from start to finish, we even got a complimentary plate of dessert with a nice note wishing us a happy anniversary. I’d like to personally thank everyone who looked after us. We will be back next year to celebrate! In the meantime we have booked again for this weekend.

Julie’s is the best place to go if you want a romantic lunch / dinner in a fabulous setting, great food and service. This time we opted for their 3 course set lunch menu and it was great. For starter I had burrata with gazpacho and it really teased my tastebuds, my husband had terrine and loved it, for main we opted for Guinea fowl snitzel which was really yummy and for dessert I had meringue with strawberries ( such a delicate taste ) and my husband chocolate mousse with cherries and he loved it. Their white wine was great too. I must say that the place is definitely a must for a romantic lunch or even better dinner in this lovely Notting Hill square which has somehow almost Parisian feeling. I will return for dinner for sure.

I love Julie’s, the staff are so friendly and well organised, the atmosphere on the beautiful terrace is like being in the French Rivera! Not to mention the beautiful decor clearly well designed. They have a very classy wine cellar downstairs. Worth a look! The food is always amazing could never fault it!

Julies has been around for decades and has recently gone through a refurbishment. For those like us who were regulars in the 20th century the physical changes may jar from the memories but the food today was first class and the service very personal and friendly with one exception. During our meal we were helped by some six staff who were attentive, helpful and friendly. We and the majority of the tables were ignored completely by a bearded individual who I think was the maitre'd. He spent time on a limited number of tables even when other tables needed service
