Chez Jules brings back the best loved feature of French cuisine, its simplicity, right into the heart of Birmingham, in a vibrant and buzzing bistro. The atmosphere exudes warmth and cheer, probably due to the generous use of red in the walls, the softly glowing lamps, the burnished wooden floors or the cosy furniture. Its central location makes it a popular choice for those looking for lunch with friends or colleagues and since it's reasonably large, seating 150 people comfortably, it's also perfect for festive occasions such as birthday celebrations or office parties.

The menu features old favourites alongside new counterparts with equanimity, so think of starters such as smoked salmon and trout roulade with celeriac salad or pan fried king prawns on a bed of saffron pasta and seafood bisque. For the main course, there might be roast rump of lamb served with Madeira and shallot jus finishing with mousse au chocolat for dessert.
