I was introduced to Chez Jules about 18 months ago by a friend who swore it was the best restaurant in town, and I have to agree with him.
Its situated on Ethel Street, Birmingham which is off the pedestrian area of New Street, near to the station. (Its the road with the large Pizza Hut on the corner).
From the outside it does not look like much, purely because its only a doorway with black board outside with the days specials on it. Once through the doorway and up the stairs you enter the restaurant.
There is seating available for both smokers and non smokers, for larger groups there are large bench type tables which can easily cater for an office full, or if you prefer, quite tables for 2 or 4 are available.
From the seating area there is a view into the kitchens so you can see your food being prepared. The bar is well stocked and they offer a wide range of beer and wine ( mainly French ).
The food is high quality french cuisine. Starters range from warm salads with cheese, freshly made soup or moules.
Main courses change on a regular basis, but there is usually a chicken, lamb, beef and fish dish to choose from, along with vegatarian options.
To the passing punter the menu may well appear limited, but with such quality it has never been a problem for me.
The staff are extremely friendly, I have recently taken my 12 month old god daughter in there whilst we ate a meal at lunch time, and they were more then willing to accomodate us.
Probably the best kept secret is there Tuesday night special, which is a 2 course meal with a bottle of wine (per person) for just below £13.
The average price for a starter is around £5, main course under £10, sweets around £3 and wine is normally under £10 a bottle.
