Cafe Joul is truly a remarkable restaurant. This French bistro has everything going for it. This is a small neighborhood place, well known locally for its ambiance and great food. Picture the interior of Balthazar but smaller, charming and romantic. The food is really really good - typical bistro but outstanding in taste and presentation. The owner/chef is always on the ball and really delivers a superb meal. The duck main course is excellent as is the chicken, accompanied by lemon fettucini and grilled leeks. Also, the nightly specials can't be beat. Weekend brunch is also a favorite - the place gets filled up pretty quickly on a Sunday morning! Heidi, the manager, is always available and makes sure that everyone is comfortably taken care of. The small bar exudes charm and can be used to dine at as well. The atmosphere can be quite romantic with dimmed lighting, period furnishings, and walls filled with original artwork. All in all, Cafe Joul is a neighborhood gem, good for a casual meal or for a special night out as well. It is worth a trip from anywhere in the city.

Pros: great ambiance, great value, great bread,too!

Cons: i can't think of any

This is the "perfect "restaurant for anyone wanting a wonderful dining experience. The soup, salads mussels , salmon , steak , vegatables , deserts etc. are all prepared with top quality ingredients. I'm a regular and always take my friends when visiting from Eurpoe. Each customer is treated with respect, warmth and great service. After trying Cafe Joul Im sure you be dining there on a weekly basis.

Pros: thumbs up - great ambience, terrific wine list, excellent service
