Restaurant
Jules Bistro
October 9, 2009
Emmanuel Joinville’s remarkable little spot in Gastown hits all the right notes, conjuring hearty, unpretentious French bistro fare. Beef tenderloin in a red wine sauce ($23) is a palate fondler, and the duck confit with white beans and shallot compote ($17) might see you loosening your belt. If your tummy can take it, finish with a vanilla bean crème brûlée ($6). Kronenbourg 1664 on tap and a daily three-course table d’hôte (greens, steak or salmon with frites, and chocolate terrine) for $21 make this room as affordable as it is authentic. Highly recommended.
