1 month ago Pei Chow did he rate it?The food is really good in terms of the portion, seasoning and of course, the price! Unfortunately the most of menu are meats, I wish they can offer more varieties for seafood and vegetarian. Otherwise there’s only one salad option for vegetarian. Their signature dish is the beef soup. I can see everyone orders the soup. It’s quite unique because it’s light soup, emphasising the beef broth instead of using the butter or flour to make it thick My salmon is average but I like the face that they serve with a lot of sauerkraut The signature desert is a bit weird though. Doesn’t taste like sponge cake, very solid. But I love my chocolate cream a lot, very thick and creamy like melting from a whole chocolate brick. The restaurant is beautiful but the downside is the tiny space between each table, not comfortable and also the service is quite busy, didn’t really show any friendliness but I appreciate they are very efficient and professional I’ll definitely come back but I hope I would have more options for non-meat
2 months ago Hanieh Ashrafkoochakwhat can I say about this place?It was really nice place, not amazing but good food. I was expecting a bit more meat on there special but that make sense because of the price. So i had to order another dish to get full. Its the place youre gonna eat food like your grandma food and it feels so local but its not something extra ordinary. Its really normal and local please. Overall was good, the servers were really active and nice even with the crowd, i didnt wait long for anything.
2 months ago James W Singerhow did he rate it?Tuesday, 23 December 2025 at 17H Leeks with hazelnut vinaigrette: 3,90 € Salmon sauerkraut, beurre blanc: 14 € Dessert Julien, rum and raisin: 4,90 € Food: 3/5 Good. The leeks were quite tough and fibrous. I found them difficult to cut with the provided cutlery. The salmon and sauerkraut were delicious. I was delightfully surprised by the taste combination. I found the dessert Julian to be quite dry, and any hint of rum or raisin flavors were too smothered in chocolate. Service: 4/5 Very Good. The servers were polite and professional. However, I did not appreciate that I was assumptively given an English menu. Yes, I have a strong English accent when I speak French, but I read and speak French fluently. I prefer to be asked, rather than just given. I would have preferred a French menu. Ambience: 5/5 Excellent. The beautifully restored and elaborate Art Nouveau interior design is worth a visit. The woodwork has scrolling vines that bloom into délicate flowers. It truly captures the dining essence of 1890s Paris. An architectural gem! Cleanliness: 5/5 Excellent. The tables and floors were clean and presentable. Value: 4/5 Very Good. I was satisfied by the quantity of food, but the quality could improve. I know many people would disagree because of the low pricing but I have eaten better for a similar price in the tourist Latin Quarter or in working neighborhood of Ménilmontant. I was satisfied but not delighted. Overall: 4.2/5 Very Good. This is a respectable boullion establishment that everyone should try at least once. Perhaps I was just unlucky with my starter and dessert? I am open to returning again if I selected something different. However, for now, I sadly cannot say this is a new favorite restaurant to add to my slowly growing list. I was so hopeful. Maybe next time.
5 months ago Liana Petrosyandescribed this experience as follows:A Timeless Parisian Experience at Bouillon Julien If you're looking for a truly Parisian dining experience, Bouillon Julien is an absolute gem. The interior is nothing short of breathtaking — ornate mirrors, intricate plasterwork, stained glass ceilings, and elegant murals create an atmosphere that feels both historic and romantic. It's like dining inside a work of art. The food was exactly what you'd hope for in a classic French bistro — authentic, comforting, and delicious. I ordered the escargots, which were perfectly cooked and served with a fragrant garlic and herb butter. Rich, flavorful, and so satisfying. I also had the French onion soup, which was incredibly tasty — deeply caramelized onions, a rich broth, and that perfect cheesy crouton topping. Simple dishes, done exactly right. On top of all this, the prices were very reasonable, especially considering the location, quality, and ambience. It's the kind of place where you can enjoy traditional French cuisine without breaking the bank. Whether you're a tourist looking for an iconic Parisian meal or a local wanting a reliable spot for comfort food, Bouillon Julien delivers on every level. Can’t recommend it enough.
2 months ago Donna Carrexplained best how he liked it:Ate here on my final night in Paris. I learned about this spot on Pinterest, and decided to take a gamble on it. I definitely recommend making a reservation, as the line to get in was massive, and it was lovely to be able to bypass it. The decor is absolutely stunning! Pictures do not do it justice. The food is very affordable, so this is a wonderful option for luxe vibes on a tight budget.
