A truly authentic French Bisto nestled in the LES. Every night is live jazz playing adding to the classic ambiance of the place. The food is amazing & meticulously prepared to perfection. Bon Apetit!
Live jazz every night after 7pm. Everything on the menu is delicious for both dinner and brunch. The service is always great. This is one of my "go-tos" in the EV.
HolidayJune 2, 2018Dinner - jazz institution. Hankering for solid French bistro grub? Jules is consistently good. Could do with a renovation to freshen the place up. Adult crowd.
Maybe the last place in NYC where you can grab a drink and listen to solid jazz any night of the week - sans cover. Other suggestions welcome. Make sure to try the mushroom risotto.
Raphael LangenscheidtAugust 6, 2015Absolute personal favorite. There's always an open table somewhere, the Jazz provides the right mood, and the food does the rest. Go for the moules frites and the escargots.
Jazz every night and for brunch on weekend, mussels, skate fish, housemade pâté
Mary MalaneyAugust 12, 2013Get the bottomless mimosa brunch special. They're great at refilling your glasses as soon as they're empty, making it totally worth it. Great music, too!
Anna LukashikSeptember 18, 2011My favorite brunch place in east village. Keep coming on weekend. I love belinni as starter and then anything in the menu is really delicious. French toast is so great!
Renaud PenantMay 13, 2018I host, as a drummer, a Jazz Party at Jules every Sunday with great musicians, stop by and join the party . . . we play from 7:30pm to 10:30pm, See you soon!
Sacha SJuly 21, 2017Great and fun place for music and food. The mussels are very good. Try the snails as a starter.
Jane JohnsenFebruary 16, 2014Cozy and Parisian inspired, makes for a great brunch spot. Live jazz music until 3pm. Unlimited mimosas for $12.
Anson PopeSeptember 2, 2013Great food and wonderful drinks. Live jazz can make it hard for a quiet conversation, but everything else makes up for that.
MarisaDecember 14, 2014My first time at Jules, loved it. Great vibe, the cod appetizer and the escargot were perfect.
paolo benvenutoApril 12, 2010So good! the jazz was fun, but not overbearing, and the food was delish (I love when menus are small - makes it so much easier to decide, and you know they will do it well). Try and Eggs Antionette wi
John HarrisonDecember 16, 2013A nice cafe style restaurant wih a decent selection of libations. Live music was part of the atmosphere on a Sunday afternoon.
Esther LeibelDecember 25, 2010Good place to dine with friends. The potato gratin that came with the filet mignon was amazing. All the rest was okay, although the onion sauce overpowered the meat. Great live music!
William JohnsonNovember 18, 2011Just beer wine and sake licence but well executed. Nice cozy place. If you're calling for a table, make sure you request one upfront, where performances are, not in the back.
Susan FellnerOctober 17, 2016Escargot is terrific. Also good steak frites. Good low priced wine by the bottle.
RCMay 17, 2015Great vibe and live jazz! Food is fine. Risotto that comes with hanger steak is a standout.- Sarina MeonesDecember 30, 2016Excellent live jazz group. Food iffy. Reasonable and muscles are good. Wine pricy.
BappersOctober 31, 2016Food and music were excellent but service was a bit shaky. 3 different waiters came by almost every 5 minutes to check whether we were ok but then forgot to put our order in or mixed things up
Rob HApril 28, 2012Great spot for jazz and totally acceptable French fare. Escargots are a favorite, along with hanger steak.
Devyn SanchezDecember 25, 2016Jazz music 2 thumbs up. I've had dreams over the truffle Mac and cheese.
Grex HochmuthOctober 27, 2012French Bistro Brunch with live jazz all-year. In fact, live jazz all the time. Need I say more?
Sys EMarch 10, 2012Happy hour 5 to 730 cocktails $5 and imported beer $3.50 - in a cosy little club atmosphere with jazz playing, you can't go wrong!
Pandelis Phillip RMarch 16, 2013The best Saturday Branch with Live Jazz and Breakfast until 4pm!!!! Unbelivable a real must!!
M. R.June 16, 2011Fun vibe, great beer, and the food is quite good. Service, on the other hand, can be hit and miss, especially when busy. Your mileage may vary.
Dine out the front on a warm night and listen to the jazz. Great atmosphere.- Live Jazz each night and delicious French food at a moderate price. Definitely worth the visit.
Jordan McLennanSeptember 21, 2013Order a "raspberry beer" (framboise lambic). Your life will change.
- jamie klispieApril 6, 2011Surprisingly great brunch! Order the Canadian bacon-you won't be disappointed! Great bloody marys too.

"Quaint and cozy French restaurant in the West Village. Romantic atmosphere. A table for two can mean side-by-side seating. Amazing food and a standout were the crab cakes..."
