Chez Jules is a Northgate Street French bistro for prix fixe lunches, dinners, wine, groups, birthdays, pre-Storyhouse meals and classic seasonal cooking.

What it's like

Chez Jules has been doing the French-bistro job in Chester since the late 1990s, which is a lifetime in restaurant years. It knows its lane: warm room, changing menus, wine, set-menu value and enough bustle to feel alive.

Busy French bistro, Chester staple

It is established rather than fashionable. That is not a criticism. Sometimes the useful answer is the place that has survived because people keep going back.

Worth knowing

Chez Jules is not Chester’s shiny new toy, and that is exactly why it still works. Book it, use the set menu well, expect bistro noise and let it be warm rather than flawless.
