I got intrigued when my friend said she found a place I would love because “it’s exactly you!” What did she mean? But she was so convincing, she got me excited.
Bar Julius is a place where you can come pretty much any time of day, for any occasion –from breakfast to dinner, or even a nightcap. Whether you just want to have coffee with a friend or enjoy a fancy birthday dinner, this is your place.
Probably thanks to its very unique, warm yet sophisticated design, once you’re sitting down, you don’t want to leave.
But I started worrying it was all vibe and no taste. Could the menu match this unique atmosphere?
When I read that it was European-inspired, as a typical French-background gal (from Paris), of course I rolled my eyes … What is European food, anyway? Little did I know it was exactly how I would have described it.
I went straight for the beef tartare and the tomato tarte tatin. Starting with the beautiful presentation, both dishes felt like something I had never had before, while still reminding me of a Parisian bistro or the South of France – somewhere on the Mediterranean.
Not to forget the flavourful oysters or the sparkling wine, which could easily compete with a nice Champagne.
While the kitchen takes us on a trip to France, the bartender is busy crafting perfectly balanced cocktails.
A bar with soul? Definitely!
