Jules Bistro 評價 相片

The food was exceptional, service friendly and professional. Could really recommend the spring chicken, oxtail and the thin apple tart with vanilla ice cream was exquisite! Would recommend it for a romantic and fair priced dinner.

I enjoy French dishes but find it difficult to locate a good and home feel French restaurant in Hong Kong.  In most cases, the price for French food in Hong Kong is either over priced or there is something wrong with the quality.  Just happened that I had a meeting at Happy Valley, I passed by Jules Bistro and had a quick look of its decoration inside.   Its simple setting and small premises gave me a warm feeling.I decided to give it a try on the next day .    I ordered onion soup and wild boar with red wine sauce as recommended by the waitress, a friednly lady but I forgot to ask her name.  The dishes were very simple and very basic; and I was not disappointed. It reminded me the country style and home feel at the outer skirt of Lyon. I don't know why I had such a feeling but it was the way it went.  I would not say the dishes are cheap but given of the food quality, it is reasonable. I could not take wine for health reason but I think it will be much enjoyable for having the dishes pairing with some good wine. The restaurant serves basic dessert but I could not go further andhad to skip it.   The espresso is not of my taste.  My last comment: I will be back.

呢間法式小館，午飯時間竟然得幾枱客，可能因為冇 set lunch 價位又比較高，兼且可能小本經營餐牌選擇唔多。

叫咗燒雞同烤豬扒。

上主菜前有麵包食，麵包普通但牛油又香又滑又軟，為咗食牛油食咗兩籃麵包!上主菜時肉同配菜同薯仔全部放喺一個餐盆入面，好有家庭feel! 蒜蓉烤蕃茄同炒豆不俗，烤薯片有好香忌廉味，炸薯條似係自家製，食落好實淨，似原隻薯仔切條再炸!烤雞入味，豬扒似係七八成熟，厚身但唔硬有肉汁，唔錯!甜品叫咗朱古力焦糖批，唔太甜又有朱古力同焦糖香。

有質素嘅法式小館，希望生意好啲，頂得住貴租啦...

由佢裝修至開業，就咁睇店門面，原以為係間普通酒吧，點知原來係間法國餐廳，所以特唻一試。

試咗是日廚師推介嘅其中兩款：1) Smoke salmon 沙甸魚 salad：同一般西餐沙律差唔多，碟份量足，配以兩大片煙三文魚及少量沙甸魚，蕃茄，洋蔥，白蘿蔔片，菜等等，味道唔錯！雖然冇點餐湯，但都提供麵包同牛油，麵包雖普通但質素唔差。

2) French zuchini：Tomato risotto配牛肉同瓜，好香好好味，飯內食到少少芝士味少少黑椒味，牛肉鬆軟有肉汁，唔會好乾好"鞋"，個瓜連皮食都好ok，皮軟瓜肉卻爽口。

飲品試咗：1) Cappuccino：質地較稀，但味道尚可，特別在配一細少傳統french cake，好味！2) Homemade lemonade：就如一般lemonade，味道ok，冇乜特別。

整體食物質素中上，店員服務親切良好，廚師亦很好招呼，會親自行出唻問客人滿唔滿意，店內環境舒適，好適合優閒慢慢嘆一嘆。

可惜食物選擇唔多，可能係貴精唔貴多嘅原因吧，哈哈~另外，餐廳除咗堂食外，亦有售賣其他charcuteries同cheese，唔錯嘅選擇！

When friends come to my flat in Happy Valley for the first time, they usually ask me what's good to eat here. I always reply, not much. There are ok places but nothing worth recommending to anyone to make that trip in. Until now.Recently, a French bistro opened down the street from where I live. It's painted in antique red with curtains up so you really can't see what's inside. But every time I walk by on my way home, I wonder what the deal was? And oddly, there were always people inside. Day and night, they had customers. This, dear readers, is a rarity in Happy Valley because when the sun goes down, most of the restaurants here grow quiet.From local media, it appeared the chef is Laurent Brouard, former catering chef to Chez Patrick. From their official website, they describe it as a goal to bring good honest food to all just like his grandfather in Paris.I arrived for lunch and was greeted with a bonjour from the waiter. There are only three people working there. Two waiters and the chef. The restaurant is small but every little detail is so French. Just like the bistros in France. Especially the little hidden ones that aren't in the tourist areas. The ones that are owned by a small family who work hard to make you a real French meal. Every detail is there, right down to the French music they played. I felt like I was in the film, Amelie from Montmartre. Especially when the one of the waiters and the chef started to sing in French as they placed napkins and glassware.One end is a deli area.There the chef cooks away, places his finished meals on the counter and says "Service!" They also do take away here.Very serious knife for cutting meat. Love the checkered napkin.They have a regular menu and an decent wine list. However, like most French bistros, they have the daily special (plats du jour) on a black chalkboard that they bring to you and place on a chair for you to decide. Menu is all in English or French. If you are not sure what it is, the staff are eager to explain. They do have one Cantonese speaking waiter.As it was my first time here, I wanted to try the plats du jour of duck breast in truffle sauce and French onion soup. First time here ... gotta start with the classics. They do ask if you want bottled water, but you can request regular tap water.Bread basket. A bread basket was presented to me of sliced baguettes. The bagettes were wonderfully crusty on the outside and soft and chewy on the inside. I didn't use the butter but used it to mop up the sauce. It mopped up wonderfully.French onion soup ($78). I want to start by saying portion size is HUGE. Normally when I go to a French restaurant in Hong Kong, this soup is served in a cup and you're finished pretty quick. This was in a huge soup tureen. It was so large, they had two large slices of baguettes loaded with guyre cheese floating on top with room to spare! There was also A LOT of soft, sweet onions. The broth had a rich beef flavor that was fragrant with a generous dose of thyme. The guyre cheese was strong and decandent. This was possibly the best French onion soup I've ever had in a Hong Kong restaurant. Because THIS is how it's supposed to taste like. Not some weak canned broth with a few onions sprinkled inside and a stupid puff pastry on top.Duck breast with truffle sauce ($238). This was one of the daily specials and I wanted to try. Again portion size was HUGE. Plating wasn't fancy. It was actually homelike. It came with a half a roasted tomato, a good portion of French green beans and mashed potato. The duck breast was so huge, it looked like an 8 oz steak. Mashed potatoes were creamy, fluffy and for the first time in a restaurant in Hong Kong, I tasted actual butter. How rare is that to find in Hong Kong? The green beans were soft and fragrant with a generous scatter of thyme. The roasted tomato gave the dish a bit of tartness.The duck breast was done to a perfect medium rare. It was rich without being oily. The black truffle sauce was not done using the horrible truffle oil that is so popular in restaurants here as a way to pretend they are giving you truffles. Instead, I saw some flecks of truffle in the sauce itself. It was not creamy and not watery. It also wasn't a overly rich sauce. I used my bread to mop up as much as possible.After finishing my meal, I ordered a cafe latte. They gave me sugar which was all individually wrapped, making them look more like candies than cubes of sugar.The latte itself was served with a pretty good caramel macaroon. It wasn't overly sweet and just the right pairing with a very strong French roasted coffee. It didn't need latte art. This wasn't here for pretty looking cups of coffee. This was just an honest, down to earth, cup of coffee. Nothing more. Nothing less.The food may not be fancy. This is not haute cuisine like Alain Ducasse. If you are looking for pureed whatever streaks with foam on one side, you've come to the wrong place. This is simple, honest French food. Food for the people. Food to warm your soul and make you appreciate and love every ingredient in front of you as much as the chef loves it himself. The chef, himself, comes around and asks his customers how everything is. This is what French food is. At least to me when I was in France. It's wonderful I've found it here and so close to me! Will return and recommend to many.Note: there is no 10% service charge. And no lunch or dinner sets. Prices are fairly decent with generous portions. Most main dishes under $200 with appetizers and dessert under $100.
