Julie's Restaurant & Bar in Kensington and Chelsea

Rude service where they yell at you

Absolutely disrespectful and rude staff who berate customers. The management who i spoke to is just as incompetent and useless. Will NEVER come again and advise all to STAY AWAY!

A beautiful neighbourhood gem of a place!! My partner and I absolutely love it... whether for drinks, a casual lunch or celebration. It has a warm, convivial, elegant buzz and the food is sublime! Perfect for catching up with friends and loved ones. Not to be missed!

We were really looking forward to trying Julie’s – it’s a well-known spot in Notting Hill and we’d heard great things. Sadly, the experience didn’t quite live up to the hype for us. Even though we had a reservation, we were asked to wait outside for over 30 minutes, which was a bit frustrating. It would’ve been nice to be offered a drink or even a small aperitivo while we waited, but nothing was offered. When we were finally seated, we were taken downstairs to the basement area. The space was quite cramped, with loud music, strong food smells, and very little fresh air. It felt a bit overwhelming. One of our friends is pregnant and asked several times if we could move to a table upstairs because the conditions weren’t ideal for her, but unfortunately, no one seemed to take it seriously. We really wanted to enjoy the evening, but between the long wait, the stuffy atmosphere, and the lack of flexibility, we left feeling a bit disappointed. Hopefully others have a better experience, but this one didn’t quite work out for us.

Julie’s is such a cute and vibey spot—perfect for a stylish lunch or dinner in Notting Hill. I absolutely love their lobster Caesar salad, which is always a standout. This time, I went for the steak, and while it was a bit too rare for my liking, the flavor was still great. The fries were a solid 10/10—crispy, golden, and perfectly seasoned. The staff were super friendly and welcoming, which made the whole experience feel relaxed and enjoyable.

As a long time customer of Julies I was super excited to hear this grand dame of the London Restaurant scene had reopened. Sadly the seating - a cramped little table adjacent to the bar - was sub optimal. My asparagus starter untrimmed - the croustade my partner has was perfect, to be fair. The mains clunky and lacking any substance. The service was spot on. But my main observation is the total cleansing of the atmosphere. Sterile. Julies was a bohemian adventure An old banquette, the genius garden room, fire places and odd statuettes. Random and charming. Now. Converted into something akin to an executive hotel lobby with added service staff.

Food is alright but service is consistently appalling. Setting / atmosphere are really great especially in the sun.

Fabulous dinner to celebrate my Fiancée's Birthday at Julie's. The fish of the day (Monkfish) and Lobster Soufflé were both exceptional, as were the beautifully prepared Oysters to start. A special mention to our server Hannah, whose warmth and energy made the evening very special for us both! We very much look forward to returning to Julie's very soon and would like to thank the whole team for their kindness and professionalism!

This restaurant will close not because of the quality of the food experience ( which is dire) but by an FSA intervention for serving undercooked meat: how do you like your chicken, rare or medium rare? What about pink pork? FOH delightful but something really bad going on in kitchen. And before I receive a platitudinous reply saying you can’t see my booking I was a guest of Richard Temple on Thursday 24th April .

UPDATE: Not them replying to me with CHATGPT written apology I seriously cannot…they could have put some effort in showing sincerity but nope. I rarely post reviews but this is just too bad I had to...作为中国人在欧洲大半辈子这是我第一次感觉到种族歧视，比方说如果在巴黎他们只要不是本地人他们谁都歧视但是菜很好吃所以也就没有关系。关键这家服务差菜里吃出白线来而且还很咸？赶紧避雷吧。 First of all, we have dined and travelled from all over the world. This is one experience I will try my best to erase from my memories. I walk around the neighbourhood often and always see this cute corner and this French restaurant. Should have known better when there are only non-French people there. But we decided to give it a try anyways. I don’t even know where to start wow. This left me so much bad taste in my mouth both physically and emotionally I feel the negativity lingering still whilst writing this but I just had to. So the taller and with light hair colour lead waitress who is in charge of the seatings was racist and extremely rude. We were moved many times, the young guy waiter was very nice and offered for us to sit in a better seat and as soon as the other three men came she just moved them there, sitting them down, even though we were also 3 people and came 40mins before they did(yes we were still not served after being moved 3 times). As I tried to get her attention for the 4th times in a very polite tone and she purposely ignored us while chatting up and laughing to the other men on the other tables, her gaze was deliberately ignorant as I was speaking right under her physically, continued to chatting up with the other men asking about her origin, being half Irish and French. Finally I raised the question that we were being offered to sit there, she just gazed passed me and spoke to the guy waiter that offered us the table “why did you give them the table?! I am the person who is in charge of seatings, aghhhh, that is why you should have spoken to me before this always happenes”. At that point we felt so bad for the male waiter we just let it be. She let the three men sit in that corner seat that we were offered and continued to chat to them while not replying to us at all. We tried to get their attention because we were starving at that point and we waited for ages to order another 40 min or more for the food to come. Without asking -They served everything at once on the tiny French tables when everyone else’s food arrived in order and before us (including the men that sat down after us and took our spot). Bear in mind we were a very quiet and well-dressed group that had a middle-aged lady who is our friend’s mom in our group and we did not make any scene or spoke loudly /rudely. Ironically, I lived in Paris and in Europe half of my life time so we were joking how this place is real parisian because of its waitressing attitude problem—except that the food does not match up to the French standards sadly. If the food was amazing -fine we will wallow up the attitude like how we do it in Paris and just watch the waitress being racist and flirt with the other guests and patronise her colleague. Every dish was over salted with too much cream and butter and even the roasted carrot ..? Also horrid we were so tired and hungry but we also found a white string in the clams we ordered-not gross at least it was not hair at that point we were just shook and tired and starved but like why is there a long white string there…?!! My friend’s mom was innocently asking if it was supposed to be there for the clams I felt so guilty for taking her there. 😭 This place just has a cute location and it’s a real shame because it could have been a real jam due to the location. I guess people still go cuz of the illusion it creates and the location itself because there are only these many places to eat in that corner so it kinda monopolised it. I just had to put this out there because damn. We ordered way too many dishes. Giving a 3 star for the atmosphere for the location but the vibe was also not giving. C’est vrm dommage :(

Lovely restaurant with good food and amazing cocktails. Everyone was warm and welcoming. Despite a busy evening, everything was well run and efficient.

We love Julie's. Great food, creative and satisfying, lovely place with good atmosphere and in summer a wonderful terrace. Not many places in London can compete.

Superb dinner for a party in the room upstairs. All three courses excellent. Very friendly and efficient staff. Great venue.

Julie’s is back, and it’s better than ever. This is not a nostalgic rehash but a bold reinvention that honors its iconic past while forging a vibrant future. The food is exceptional, the ambiance intoxicating, and the service impeccable. Whether you’re chasing a taste of West London’s bohemian legacy or simply seeking a memorable meal, Julie’s delivers with effortless charm and undeniable brilliance.

El restaurante de Julie en el oeste de Londres ha sido un descubrimiento muy apreciado. Es un restaurante muy atmosférico y el ambiente es muy especial. El frente del equipo de la casa es tan acogedor y en la pelota en todo con total cuidado y clase. Los cócteles son perfectos y el menú/extraordinariamente delicioso.

Rarely I come across the meal that brings the flavours of grandmother’s food with style of a smart London neighbourhood together. And does it with joy, warmth and ease. You feel welcome the moment you open the door and being looked after with care yet leisurely all evening. Thank you, it was memorable.

I had a fantastic dinner with two business colleagues at Julie's on Tuesday night. Even on a Tuesday, the atmosphere was lively and convivial. The service was just the right mix of attentive and friendly, but also unobtrusive. This is a place I would go for a business dinner as well as a fun gathering with friends and family. The food was outstanding - complex flavors and beautifully presented. Julie's has found the sweet spot of being sophisticated and interesting without a hint of pretension. Also, the prices are quite reasonable for the high level of quality. I will be back again soon!

Gorgeous location, a hidden gem but unfortunately ruined by random, wanna be people who travel from far, making the place more like a pretentious Mayfair pickup place.

Julie’s in Holland Park is an absolute gem—fantastic food, top-notch cocktails, and a warm, stylish vibe that makes it feel like a special occasion every time. The staff are lovely. But here’s the thing: it’s very dog-friendly. Like, your neighbour’s dog might be sniffing your crouch while you’re trying to eat dog-friendly. On my last visit, one dog was yapping away while another got a little too curious during dinner. If you’re a dog lover, you’ll probably love it. If you’re not, it might take the shine off an otherwise perfect evening. Still, it’s one of my favourite spots in London—just a bit annoying to share it with dogs

The food is amazing, and the service is impeccable. Must visit.

Absolutely delicious food, fine dining at its best and fabulous service. Thanks for being dog friendly and for accommodating a table change to help my mother who has mobility issues.

Had a wonderful evening at one of London’s finest restaurants. The atmosphere is both elegant and relaxed, with a subtle sense of celebration in the air. Beautiful, stylish people all around, and the staff is absolutely exceptional — attentive, professional, and effortlessly charming. The beef tartare was a highlight — prepared tableside, turning it into a little culinary performance. The sirloin steak was perfection: juicy, flavorful, and cooked to absolute precision. The lobster soufflé was good, though the sauce was a bit rich — I would’ve preferred something a touch lighter to let the lobster shine. I’ll definitely be coming back — this is the kind of place that draws you in again and again.

All great except the tables outside are very close together and are smoking tables. We had to move inside as a couple of guys were 5cm away on the next table both smoking which was drifting over us .. The majority of their tables are now outside. If you're OK with fag smoke or sitting inside then it's a great venue.

Staff is incredibly rude, food is average and overpriced. There are so many better restaurants in London. Spare yourself from dealing with the horrible staff.

This was literally the worst experience I’ve had in a long time. The manager was so incredibly rude I’m still in shock over it. The food is decent and the atmosphere is nice, it’s just such a shame that the customer service is so bad. There was a French manager on call that was incredibly rude to the point that my friends and I were speechless. I’d give this place a 1/10 and the 1 is literally just for the fact that they have a nice outdoor terrace.

Recently came here to celebrate our friend getting married. Atmosphere is great and such a beautiful setting. Food and service however; as we were a large group, we had a choice of fish, beef or a veggie option. Many of us had the fish, for which a few noticed it was almost translucent, even grey and seemed quite raw. We compared to another within the party’s fish and hers was white. We asked for the fish to be cooked through a bit more. We were told that that’s how the fish should look and that they were all cooked at the same time. We still asked for the fish to be cooked further. The waiter walked away and we could see that he pulled a face in the reflection of the mirror. Considering the price of the food, our treatment from this particular waiter throughout the night wasn’t great. However, shout out to Nii the bouncer outside who was lovely.

Superb French restaurant. Lovely atmosphere, food and friendly staff. The food was on a par with those I have eaten in Paris and Marseille. Prices are very reasonable and there are no unpleasant surprises with regard to the bill. Thoroughly recommended if you are visiting London.

Solid but not amazing food, friendly but somewhat forgetful service, ambiance was charming but over-lit with smoke wafting in from the terrace

We visited this restaurant just before Christmas and had a truly wonderful evening with an array of delicious dishes and impeccable service from the staff. It was a night to remember. Thank you!

Food is bland compared with so many other restaurants in West London. Steak tartar (£38) was tasteless, monkfish very average. Service was either non existent or determined that we should leave in order to give the table to the next customers. For over £100 a head it really wasn’t worth it, there are so many better places

Food and service were distinctly below average, which is unacceptable given the prices being charged. One of our starters was forgotten (we only ordered three), and there was a very long wait between the starters and the main courses. I asked for my lemon sole to be off the bone when I ordered it, it arrived on the bone, and I was asked if I would like it off the bone! I then had to wait for it to be de-boned while my partner’s meal was going cold. There was no apology. There was very little meat on the fish and it was very oily. The steak was mostly fat and very tough. There were only two waitresses for the downstairs area, and they were trying their best but they were flustered and struggling. When it came to getting our coats, there was no one at reception to help, and the coat check area was a complete chaotic mess, with people helping themselves to coats. We complained and asked for the manager, but he seemed too busy on his laptop to come over and address our concerns, which was very rude and unprofessional, so we left. We will not be returning.

Julie’s is our absolute favorite spot! We call it our date night place, and every visit is just as special as the last. The romantic ambiance, beautiful decor, and incredibly kind staff make it such a warm and welcoming experience. The food is absolutely flawless—there’s nothing on the menu we don’t love! Plus, they’re dog-friendly and always treat our cockapoo like a princess, which means the world to us. We’re looking forward to enjoying aperitivo on the terrace this spring and summer.

My new favourite French restaurant I travelled all the way from South London to eat there and I'll be travelling there again very soon

Very nice and welcoming with a good menu and a price consistent with the offer

Great food and atmosphere but shocking service. Took 30 mins to take order with even longer for food to arrive. Served one desert with the next one 30 mins later.

I enjoyed a wonderful Sunday lunch dining experience for my birthday. I felt truly special as a customer and our family dog felt very comfortable in the restaurant too. Excellent food from chef Owen, and an all round fantastic celebration. I can highly recommend this restaurant for food, ambience and service.

A lovely neighbourhood restaurant. We will be back

Fantastic dinner at Julie‘s, great food and ambiance!

I remember Julie's 1.0 in 1970’s so it was lovely to return to Julie's 2.0 which ticks almost every box - friendly welcome, attractive ambiance & lighting, nice booth seating upstairs, delicious food from a thoughtful menu & smooth unobtrusive service, aside spilling the wine. This is a sophisticated neighbourhood restaurant - but a 14.5% service charge is surprising when leading chefs like Jason Atherton are trying to see these reduced.

We really enjoyed our first visit to Julie’s last summer and were looking forward to going again. Sadly we came away with mixed feelings. The +s are the room which is lovely and good service. For us the ambience was marred by a couple of children who could be heard across the restaurant and the table next to us bringing a dog in which ended up sitting next to them and being fed from their meal. I do appreciate there are different views about animals in restaurants. The food was average to good - we had a lobster salad, the sole and a brunch dish of eggs. There is a good wine list though prices jump - we settled on a Valpolicella which was decent if expensive - though at the lower end of the price list. Service is 14.5%.

This was our first time at this establishment. We had a lovely meal service was great the food was fantastic. The staff are very accommodating, lovely local gem. Highly Recommend

Very very lovely restaurant. Meticulously prepared food. Seasonal menu. Expensive but worth it. The steak I had was beyond good! Not sure why it was so tasty. Maybe aged beef? The chef cooked it exactly right. Staff was great and checked in as needed but not too much. Atmosphere was nice. Decorated well and the crowd was nice and not too noisy.

It was with mixed feelings that I booked a table at Julie’s having read the reviews of previous diners. Pleasantly impressed by the service we received. The recommended wine was delicious and modestly priced. Happy to report that there was no hard sell by the sommelier. The service was attentive despite being extremely busy. Dessert was slightly delayed and was taken off the bill without a quibble. The food was of a high standard. I would have given it 5* but I was disappointed with the roasted sprouts. I was expecting them to be crispy and I couldn’t taste the cheese topping. I found the rhubarb a little al dente struggled to taste the almond. However, on balance it was a very enjoyable evening and I will definitely return.

Loved the atmosphere, service and the food was remarkable. Rushing to be back!

Cenamos en Julies recientemente y fue una noche fantástica en este restaurante. No se encuentra en el centro de Londres, pero definitivamente vale la pena el viaje. El personal es muy amable y profesional y te sientes bienvenido desde el principio. La comida era deliciosa y el menú es una mezcla de platos franceses clásicos, en su mayoría presentados de una manera moderna. También el interior del restaurante es muy cómodo y en la parte baja también hay más zonas privadas disponibles. En general recomendaría la parte baja del restaurante ya que esta es la zona más tranquila y relajada en comparación con el nivel superior bastante ruidoso. Siempre que volvamos a Londres, volveremos seguro.

Reservé Julie’s para mi cumpleaños aproximadamente un mes antes. Di los detalles de mi tarjeta en línea, confirmé mi reserva y pagué por una niñera. 2 días antes recibo un email de “reserva cancelada” a las 10 am a pesar de no haber cancelado mi reserva. Llamé a casa de Julie casi inmediatamente para rectificar el error. Su respuesta fue acusarme de cancelarlo yo mismo, y me dijeron que no había mesas disponibles para esa noche! Claramente estaban sobrecargados y cancelaron mi mesa. Después de rogar por mi parte, finalmente me prometieron que un gerente me llamaría para “ver qué pueden hacer”, llegó a la hora del almuerzo, y no recibí ninguna llamada, así que volví a llamar. Me prometieron que un gerente me llamaría en media hora. De nuevo sin llamada. A las 3 de la tarde volví a llamar, esta vez me dejaron en espera durante unos 5 minutos y luego colgué. Lo intenté por última vez aproximadamente una hora después, y me dijeron una vez más que un gerente me llamaría. Obviamente no recibí ninguna llamada. Comportamiento grosero y repugnante. La gente no es sucia. ¡Nada de respeto por la gente ni por su tiempo! Curiosamente, estaba almorzando con amigos contándoles lo que había pasado, y ambos me dijeron por separado que recientemente habían comido basura allí con un servicio terrible. ¡Sin duda una bendición disfrazada que mi reserva haya sido cancelada!

Habíamos estado deseando visitar Julie’s en Notting Hill durante nuestro viaje a Londres, pero desafortunadamente, la experiencia estuvo lejos de lo que esperábamos. La comida estaba bien (aunque algo pequeña y platos caros) – nada de qué quejarse en ese sentido – pero el servicio era absolutamente terrible y arruinó completamente nuestra noche. Desde el momento en que llegamos, estaba claro que el personal estaba desorganizado. Esperamos para siempre para todo - menús, agua, vino y comida. Incluso llamar la atención del personal se sentía como una batalla cuesta arriba. No nos sentimos vistos ni atendidos, y el personal parecía ajeno y poco profesional. Para terminar la comida, decidimos pedir el postre, específicamente el pastel de mousse de chocolate. Después de esperar diez minutos, el personal regresó para informarnos que, por desgracia, se habían quedado sin pastel de mousse de chocolate. Decepcionados pero comprensivos, pedimos algo, comimos eso, y los.. se prepararon para irse. Sin embargo, para nuestro asombro, mientras nos poníamos nuestros abrigos, vimos al personal pasar junto a nosotros con no menos de 18 pasteles de mousse de chocolate (3 bandejas) para otras mesas! Esto se sintió como una bofetada. Para aumentar la frustración, se agregó un cargo por servicio a nuestra factura. Teniendo en cuenta lo pobre que era el servicio, casi esperábamos algún tipo de compensación, por lo que esto fue irónico y divertido. Habíamos viajado desde Noruega y estábamos muy emocionados de visitar Julie’s, pero la experiencia fue profundamente decepcionante. No puedo recomendar este restaurante en su estado actual, y espero sinceramente que aborden sus problemas de servicio antes de decepcionar a más huéspedes.

Fish described by the waiter as ‘DOVER SOLE’ was actually a VERY SMALL lemon sole. Beef on Sunday lunch was very very tough. Broccoli was sent back three times before we could cut it. Banquette tables very squashed. Luckily we were all thin. Oh! How we miss the old Julie’s. Will not be going back!

Paid for the bad service and food. Unfortunately all I had was bad experience . Wrong order delivers. Undercooked steak seen by chef and writer . Delivered nearly raw instead of medium which is a big diferencialo . Could not eat. At the price which restaurant charge it simply poor service. Would not recommend.

My favourite restaurant in London. Beautiful courtyard and interiors. Amazing food and the nicest nicest staff. Menu is always changing and always has a great selection. I would highly highly recommend.

I treated my friend here for her birthday in Sept 24 and it did not disappoint! The food was exceptional, as well as very attentive friendly staff. This was a perfect birthday lunch out and I definitely be returning for dinner.

Superb food, excellent service. The desserts are to-die-for We will surely be going again, if we can book a table

Went very recently with a group of friends and had the rudest encounter we've ever experienced anywhere - came on to check reviews and notice this is sadly not uncommon so felt the need to add that it happened to us also and was uncalled for and shocking. We all live locally, my family have been to Julie's in the good old days on numerous occasions and I was beyond excited to try it again. Incredible shame as the waitresses we experienced were beyond lovely, and clearly they were shocked at the treatment we received also. We would have been good repeat customers but will never go again and never recommend it to anyone. London's full of amazing places with amazing management - this seriously needs improvement but sadly won't get it as they couldn't see past themselves to understand customer care.

This was a walk-in / no reservation evening meal out and they were so kind to provide us a table on what is typically a busy Saturday evening. The menu is well thought out, the food was very well prepared, staff had just the right amount of attentiveness but we were made to feel so welcome that we enjoyed every minute. One of the most pleasant evenings out we have had in London and although not cheap, worth every penny. Thanks guys!

Extraordinary food so delicious served by the amazing Sofie who was extremely curteous and helpful .. we loved it and will definitely come back for more

Legendary West London location, with a stunning, seafood-led, menu. They've paid a lot of attention to the whole experience, with some of the best waiting staff in the business. Cosy, classy, a little bit bougie, and all round top notch.

I enjoyed a lovely lunch at this charming spot in Notting Hill. The authentic French cuisine was excellent, and it’s a great location for dining with your four-legged friend. The star dish for me was the moules with Roquefort cheese—absolutely delicious! The atmosphere is warm and inviting, making this a place I’ll definitely be returning to!

Quickly a London favorite, everything on the menu here was perfectly prepared and the service was especially warm, with a festive and intimate atmosphere that maintained all of its charm. The martinis were delicious— steak and duck were tender and savory, the pumpkin soup perfectly flavorful, and even the bread and butter were elevated to excellence. Julie’s is overall a 10/10 for dinner!

Loved our night at Julie’s a couple of weeks ago. The food was deeeelicious with wonderful flavours and great wine pairings, and the team was so welcoming with friendly, attentive service. The charming ambience made the experience even more special. Highly recommend. Thanks so much to everyone in the team - we’ll definitely be back.

Impressive and more than just it’s pretty interior. The food is delicious and skillfully prepared, with a lot of attention to detail. In terms of vibe, it is amazing. With lovely outdoor seating with heaters for winter dining. Service is friendly and helpful. I highly recommend this restaurant!

The food was wonderful but one staff member (I think the sommelier) was quite rude because I was standing at the bar ordering some shots to celebrate our birthday especially at the start of the night. He was visibly irritated by my presence. We wrote in the booking that it was our birthdays (double birthday celebration) and there wasn’t even a mention of it at all. Instead we were rushed off our table towards the end and asked to take a table outside (in storm Darragh). Honestly the experience before this one for my friend was worlds apart and amazing and the reason why we returned as a group especially to celebrate our birthdays. Would not return or personally recommend. Three stars is generous considering the price (the star was held up by the lobster soufflé).

The food is excellent. The Venue is cosy and classy. We had Sunday Brunch for our daughter’s 22nd birthday. I had Snails then Sole (amazing); my wife had Tuna Tartare then Lobster Soufflé; our daughter had Soup then Poached Eggs. We all enjoyed all the food, great ingredients cooked well. Our waitress (Sophie from Norway) was lovely and we all had a Wonderfull Time.

One of the best evenings in London! Delicious food and great service! Our waitress Sophie from Norway was probably the best ever. Sweet, calm and just lovely in every way, Julie’s should be proud of her 🙏 Thanx & Merry X-Mas

I had lunch there with a friend and my baby. The staff were very friendly and helpful, the food was excellent and the atmosphere was a spot on. I would definitely come back and recommend this place!

Loved it all but didn't have a meal yet so happy to do so then hopefully even better! Thanks

Enjoyed our evening at Julie's. Quirky/vintage deco; tasty, rich and delicious French cuisine; cozy ambience. Our waitress (with an unusual French name) was charming and friendly, but still very professional and knowledgeable about the menu. It was our second visit and we will definitely return. Can't wait to have a meal on the terrasse next spring.

Booked for 6pm, changed my booking to 5:30 without letting me know. Tried to call on the day over 10 times however no one answered the phone.

The venue is lovely. Sadly the food and drinks were disappointing. For example, I ordered an Old Fashioned twice: the first one was pure whiskey and the second was overwhelmed with angostura and brown sugar. Both were very unpleasant. By contrast, the Chablis wine we had was very nice. As to the mains, I had a nice endive salad starter however the tortellini crab that I had as my main was doused in what felt like a soup of butter. I very much want to love Julie’s because it’s such a lovely venue. Unfortunately they simply have let themselves down with the cuisine and drinks.

Brilliant place. Great in all respects.

The pumpkin soup was the best I've had, very buttery and smooth!

Fab night, and really good food. We had a booth for a birthday downstairs which felt really special. The waitress serving us was lovely, and organised a last minute mousse and sparkler for the birthday boy. There was a bit of a mix up with our sides, and they never arrived - which was a shame! But they took off the bill and kindly gave us some wine. To be honest we were enjoying everything else so certainly didnt ruin the evening! Thanks Julie's we will be back

Acabo de leer los comentarios sobre Julie's Restaurant y tengo que decir que desearía haber escrito mi opinión antes. Organizamos un evento abajo para 40 personas y tengo que decir que Tara y su equipo eran absolutamente increíble. No pudieron hacer lo suficiente para asegurarse de que nuestra noche fuera perfecta. La comida, el servicio y el ambiente eran increíbles y sin duda recomendaría Julie's a todos! Gracias.

What a gem. Finally visited Julie’s after meaning to for too long. I enjoyed the delicious martinis (the Sauternes martini was so good I had one too many) a delicious bottle of wine, recommended by the sommelier, stunning food and a very warm and friendly team. The interiors are beautiful, but next time I will pop for brunch and sit outside under the heaters with dog (who, incidentally also received a warm welcome inside, with water provided without having to ask - but check ahead as it’s possible larger dogs might not work so well in the space). I thoroughly enjoyed my visit, it’s one of those special places that you feel instantly comfortable and “at home” and will undoubtedly want revisit again and again.

Hey if you really like to feel like home, With incredible taste and stunning decor and fantastic service !!! Julie’s Restaurant is your next stop! ❤️🔥🔥❤️ Love it guys well done!!

Hemos tenido excelentes noches cenando en casa de Julie; es elegante y cálido y lleno de carácter. Todo lo que desea en un favorito local cuando los huéspedes están en la ciudad. El servicio era excelente, y la comida es para morirse! Son los tortellini y chocolate / trufas de cereza que son particularmente lo que me hace volver. ¡Gracias al equipo de Julie's + nos vemos pronto!

I don’t usually leave restaurant reviews, but after my experience at Julie’s, I feel like I have to. Honestly, it was a ridiculously overpriced disaster. I was excited to visit after hearing about its recent reopening, but I left totally disappointed. Almost every dish we ordered tasted like burnt oil. The duck liver schnitzel was basically just a tasteless lump of fat in more fat, the onglet à l’échalote was like chewing on rubber, and poor plaice meunière was drowning in more burnt oil. After that, we didn’t even dare try dessert. The waiters were friendly but pretty clumsy, spilling things on our table. Looking back, I can't believe I didn’t ask to have the “discretionary” service charge taken off the bill. The decor is nice, and the wine was alright, but honestly, the food quality was worse than what you'd get at your local greasy spoon. Save yourself the trouble and avoid this place.

Love this new version. The staff are incredible and the food is great. Anyone who says it’s pricey hasn’t got a clue - it’s very reasonable. The decor is fantastic - much nicer than the darker drab past version. It’s very French bistro. We had a birthday party here and was fabulous. Actually ate here 3 times this week!! Nuff said. Eat your heart out. Can’t wait to go back. Try the mushroom omelette and the amazing tortelloni (if it’s on the menu!).

Its rare to find a restaurant with such soul. The food is delicious and the service wonderfully friendly. Very reasonably priced too. 5 stars.

Food was amazing and service was perfect, definitely recommend.

Precioso lugar en el barrio, buena comida, buen servicio... hora del postre y el té... ¿todo bien? Justo entonces, la anfitriona se nos acercó y nos pidió que nos moviéramos para que pudieran usar nuestra mesa para cambiar un entorno de cuatro personas a una mesa de seis personas. Y para hacer las cosas más incómodas, dos individuos están de pie y esperando allí para sentarse. Era como “cómo vas a decir que no.” Arruinamos la noche y no nos ofrecieron disculpas ni compensación a cambio de las molestias. Hemos viajado por todo el mundo, hemos comido en todo tipo de restaurantes de calidad y nunca hemos tenido esto. Maleducado y tosco.

Lovely neighborhood spot, okay food, okay service…time for dessert and tea — all good right? Just then, we get approached by the hostess and are asked to move so they could use our table to change a four person setting to a six person table?! And to make matters more awkward, two individuals are standing and waiting there to be seated. It was like “how are you going to say no.” Ruined the evening and we were offered no apology nor compensation in return for the inconvenience. We’ve travelled all over the world, eaten in all kinds of quality restaurants and have never had this happen. Rude and uncouth.

Pretty shocked at how the waiter spoke and reacted to my friend. It was incredibly rude. Not acceptable and will not be returning or recommending to anyone.

Wonderful experience. Great food, great service, great ambience. Everything was 5 stars. We had a truly excellent time!

Let me start with the good stuff . The decor is very nice and the outside area is really lovely. The food was ok to nice , wine was nice . Now about the problems. We had to wait for our table , more than we should and our order was delayed too . Also the food didn't come in the order we asked for.The sommelier was talking very loudly and abruptly to a poor waitress who was running around in a panic. It was also very very loud , which made us feel soon like we wanted to get out of there . I believe most of the problems described would be solved if the restaurant didn't try to serve too many customers . It is better to have a bit smaller clientele which will return , rather than having a lot of unpleased guests . Maybe we will give it another go , after some time .

My experience at Julie’s was one of the worst I have ever encountered while being in a restaurant. We experienced disgusting and unforgivable misogyny from our waiter who treated us with utmost contempt. Please avoid this place at all costs.

La peor experiencia en restaurantes de mi vida. El camarero fue tan grosero y agresivo que me hizo llorar. Evita este lugar a toda costa.

Wonderful to have Julie's Restaurant back. Food and service was extraordinary. Seating outside during summer was a welcome surprise. Love this restaurant!

Delicious food, great service and a generally wonderful atmosphere. Little gem, highly recommended.

Irgendwie werden sie ihrem eigenen Anspruch abgeleitet von der Website nicht gerecht. Das Essen war okay, abgesehen von dem in der Karte annoncierten Gurken Apfel Salat, der dann ein Gurken Zucchini Salat war und trotz unseres Einwands weder zurück genommen noch entschädigt worden war. Der gegrillte Kohl war sehr rustikal geschnitten. Feine französische Küche, die sie für sich beanspruchen, sieht anders aus. Der Service, anfänglich ambitioniert, ließ schnell nach und war nicht untereinander abgestimmt. Der Wein kam eine Minute nach den Aperitifen. Nach dem Hauptgang wurde uns die Dessertkarte vorgelegt und dann erschien eine Dreiviertelstunde Stunde niemand mehr. Da wir sehr abgeschieden saßen, war eine Bemerkbarmachung schwer möglich. Wir haben dann auch auf das Dessert verzichtet. Vielleicht hatten sie es auch einfach nicht nötig, sich zu bemühen denn es wurden 14,5% Service Charge berechnet, entschieden zu viel. Unter dem Strich: es gibt in London viele gute Restaurants, so man hier nicht wieder einkehren muss.

As we entered the restaurant, we were immediately struck by the beautiful decor—seriously, I half-expected to see a fashion show break out! One of the managers greeted us warmly and swiftly whisked us to our table, making us feel like VIPs right away. The banquette was chic and comfortable, perfect for lounging and pretending we were in a trendy magazine. However, while the table had a lovely colour, I couldn’t help but feel it might have been designed for hobbits; its size and proximity to other patrons were a bit cozy, shall we say? It was clear that the restaurant's design was executed with professionalism, although a few mirrors could use a little more attention for that shine. The service was prompt, attentive, and yet not invasive. We appreciated the little touches, such as complimentary water, bread, and other nibbles, which made us feel like royalty, minus the crown and the responsibilities. For starters, we ordered the duck liver schnitzel topped with an egg and chives, resting on confit like a celebrity on a red carpet. It was an incredible bundle of flavour, texture, and juices. The sommelier was very helpful in providing recommendations and accurately gauging what I was looking for. His wine pairing was spot on and complemented my steak beautifully. For the main course, I went for the sirloin with peppercorn sauce, which was cooked to perfection with quality ingredients and seasoning that could make even a salt shaker jealous. The peppercorn sauce had a delightful kick that we absolutely loved. Our waiter, Marc D., expertly deboned the sole, leaving no bones behind yet keeping it presentable—he deserved a round of applause for that one! The Ratte potatoes were generously buttered—some might say a bit too much, but I found it just right. They were nearly perfectly cooked, although I would have appreciated an extra minute. The carrots were well-cooked, and the sole was so tender it practically crumbled under the weight of our adoration. The strong citrus flavours complemented the dish perfectly, creating a flavour profile that could charm even the pickiest of palates. For dessert, we tried the crème brûlée, which sparked some debate about its colour—it could have used a little more love. The texture could have been creamier; it was a bit too solid for my liking, though the flavour was on point. Even for someone who typically doesn’t enjoy chocolate mousse, I found the Roche perfectly light in both texture and flavour, with just the right amount of dark chocolate—not so much that I felt like I was biting into a cocoa bean! The lovely touch of salt and drizzle on top was a nice addition. The shape of the Roche was also perfect, and the pistachio cuboid paired beautifully with the mousse, balancing the dryness and stickiness of the pistachio—it was like a match made in dessert heaven! Finally, we had the pear and almond tart. Unfortunately, it seemed to have suffered from a bit of a mid-life crisis in terms of presentation, with the tart’s point appearing to have collapsed. The cut was angled, which was a detail that did not go unnoticed. However, the flavour of the pear was delicious. The base was a bit hard, and while the almond filling was good, it was somewhat dry. I felt that incorporating roasted and blitzed almonds into the crème fraîche (instead of justin crème fraîche) could have enhanced the tart significantly, adding a complementary almond flavour without altering the texture—think of it as a makeover for the tart! Overall, it was a delightful dining experience, complete with a few minor critiques. I would certainly recommend this restaurant for its ambiance, service, and innovative dishes. Just remember to bring your stretchy pants—you’ll need them!

Great place, very well located. Great staff and food. Loved it.

Great food and very friendly staff. Lovely dinner. Thank you.

So excited about celebrating our 25th wedding anniversary at the restaurant (under new ownership) where we had our first date and got engaged. Disappointed, despite the stern notices about not being late, to not get a table for 25/30 minutes and then upstairs when we had specifically asked for downstairs. Food OK, if a bit pricey, and service excellent and a nice atmosphere, but it just felt like the place was overbooked in order to cram as many punters in as possible. The team tried to make it up with complimentary drinks etc, but our special place was somewhat tarnished and I can't see us coming back.

Julie's how much do I love thee. Better than ever!

Worst experience I’ve had in London with over 100 restaurants I’ve never had such a bad service spilling drinks, didn’t care. Food zero

Gorgeous setting, quite possibly the best restaurant terrace in London. The food is very reasonably priced for the quality - I had a very memorable Onglet Steak for under £25. The service is slick and charming too. If neighbourhood restaurants are your thing, this should be at the top of your wish list.

Great snacks. I was well received by the staff except for one, the lady in the black dress. I'm not sure if she is the waitress or hostess but she was rude. She laughed at me when I asked for mineral water and ignored me.

Great food at a great price. They have a good thing going on here, recommend it. In fact I'm going to try and eat there again this week.

Amazing food and excellent service.

Absolutely superb and authentic French restaurant which I have been visiting for over 30 years. Highly recommended.
