First time today at lunch time and won’t be the last. Good bistro style food, service was very friendly and professional and a nice cosy place. We loved it!
Our first time dinner with family, nice place and pro staff, good food and service, will definitely go again 👍👍
Fantastic French Fine Cusine! The food is delicious, service is excellent and professional, the vibe is nice and comfortable.
Excellent gnocchi with mushrooms, filet mignon and maple sugar pie are among the excellent choices in this cozy restau. Friendly staff and good wine by the glass.
Fine dining restaurant with Michelin star quality food. Came here a few weeks ago for a birthday dinner. Place is run by French management and make excellent food. The staff is very professional, and treat their guests with best care. They dealt with pregnancy diet restrictions with expert knowledge. This would be a great place for anniversaries, birthdays or other special events. Expect to pay close to 200 for two guests for a full meal. That said, the food was excellent.
What a pleasant surprise to come across this hidden gem in the heart of Vieux La Prairie. The food was presented beautifully and tasted delicious. It was homey but one notch above average due to the art of plating. Service was fast and the bread was toasted. I would come back next time I'm in the area.
Very good menu. They know about the ingredients and their wine.
Well received upon entry. Waitress however was of a "certain age" and apparently tired of her job. Also very rude to my Extremely well mannered and unfailingly polite husband. The appetizers were excellent. (Squash soup and smoked duck) Main course was horrific. The fillet mignon was overcooked and smelled terrible. I did not eat it, and nothing about this was noticed. Vegetables were mushy. Substitutions were made without notification. Bathroom was not clean. Price was ridiculously... RIDICULOUSLY high for what was received. Total of $300 for a medium price bottle of wine, the house sparkling rose, and a ceasar for an aperitif. And soup or salad and entree. No dessert no coffee.
Ive been going there for years, always satisfied!!!
Great service. Food was good too
Very good address, very efficient and friendly service.
Great place for special occasions For the price we have a very good quality of dishes
Parking: Jai mangé un magret de canard qui était vraiment délicieux(cuisson excellente). Je vous le recommande et vous ne le regretterez pas! Food
Went there with coworkers, it was really nice. The food was delicious.
We were pampered from the moment we arrived, delicious meal, refined taste, warm and friendly atmosphere. Childrens menu offered to families. Mocktail for children. All this, at reasonable prices. Impeccable and fast service. Vegetarian options: Yes Parking: Easy parking behind the church
Best boudin that I have ever had.
The service is impeccable, the menu a festival for the eyes and taste buds. A warm place to share an excellent meal!
Very good table.
Charming little restaurant, I tried their famous boudin, and indeed, its the best Ive eaten, super soft and light. Beautiful, generous wine list. Big surprise, there are different promotions every day. My colleagues were also delighted with the duck and the burger. The only downside is the quantity of mosquitoes at the end of the evening on the terrace. $50 per person including wine.
Restaurant that continues to improve over the years. When the service, cuisine and atmosphere are there, what more could you ask for? Bravo for your efforts to always give the best and for your exemplary teamwork at the service level. The customers are happy and this can be seen in the atmosphere of the restaurant. A recipe for success that transcends the quality of the dishes served to you. Well done!
Relaxed place Parking: 100 approximately, less than 5 minutes on foot
Thank you for the delicious and beautiful bites served at our wedding on Saturday. We are happy to have been able to share a bite of our favorite restaurant with our guests!
Excellent restaurant, the risotto is very good as well as the guédille.
Small, friendly restaurant located in old Laprairie. Asparagus cream, good but not WOW; mesclun salad, pears, prosciutto endives, good but very little pears; smoked cheddar filet mignon, cooked perfectly and tender; semi-cooked, not too sweet and very successful; glass of St-Emilion Les Promesses wine, excellent recommendation. Attentive service with a smile. Parking: Plenty of street parking.
Weve been going there for dinner a good ten times, each time the service is exemplary, the food is delicious, both the starters and the main meal and the same goes for the deserts. The bill is still a little expensive but the experience is still worth it.
Excellent to start again
Very friendly restaurant. The cuisine is refined. The service is impeccable. Recommended for taste buds
Great food and wine. Plus Old LaPrairie is also wonderful.
Restaurant Julien deserves a glowing rating. The culinary experience is exceptional, combining refined flavors and impeccable service. The warm ambiance and attention to detail make this place a top-notch dining destination.
Super
Perfect for a business dinner. Very nice experience, I will definitely return.
Good friendly service,charming place...went for lunch,menu is a bit slim,but all we ate was very good,especially de risotto....wish the dessert was a bit less sweet
I like this restaurant and nice atmosphere
We went for lunch to this place with a toddler. Very cute place with European feel. Food was tasty, staff is very friendly. Baby ate all of his carbonara and enjoyed complementary sweet treat! Pure enjoyment after long drive.
Very much liked background music
We went to Chez Julien for dinner on March 24, 2023. Everything was excellent. Having the soup of the day as a starter can sometimes seem banal, but not at Juliens, they are always excellent. Mine was mashed sweet potatoes served with a cloud of maple cream. Gorgeous. We had the special of the day, sweetbreads on a bed of macaroni carbonara served with a hint of candied tomatoes. Generous and absolutely divine dish that the restaurant should put on the menu without delay. (Otherwise we sulk.... LOL). The service is impeccable. The atmosphere is warm, and you are not pushed to free the table for a second service (well done!). The wine list has some nice surprises at affordable prices. You can generally park a few steps from the restaurant in the surrounding streets. We without hesitation recommend this restaurant, one of the best on the South Shore.
Consistency in excellence!
A sure value. Impeccable service. Innovative dishes.
Beyond my expectations.
We were 6 people with reservations, and each of us ate very well, and what can we say about the excellent service from Samuel!!! We will go back, well done to the whole team!!!
The place to eat in Havre-Saint-Pierre!
REALLY very good! Filet mignon with sharp smoked cheddar! Excellent as well as the cauliflower poutine Im going to go back!!!!
Nice place but parking is limited. Parking: Few places available on the street.
A must in La Prairie. My favorite restaurant for special occasions.
Excellent food and service. Calm and pleasant atmosphere The blood sausage is excellent if you like blood sausage for sure :)
A place to discover. The black pudding and the sugar tart are excellent
Excellent
Good original food, good service, good atmosphere and charming decor
The food was ok but a bit tasteless, nice presentation but nothing to justify the high price.
We found out about the place thanks to a Tuango offer. This included a 4-course dinner for two people. Everything was delicious! Beautiful presentations and we had excellent service.
Delicious and surprisingly affordable considering the quality of the food
A great dinner indeed. Lovely restaurant and good service while enjoying a tasty and nicely presented dinner. We loved the evening and dinner here.
During a somewhat last minute evening, we went to old La Prairie thinking of going to a particular restaurant. But when we arrived, there were no more places so we started looking for a new spot... We came across the restaurant Chez Julien, we literally had no expectations. Oh boy we ate well!!! The rack of lamb and kofta was delicious, the filet mignons were cooked to perfection. I can only recommend this restaurant! The service and wines were excellent too. In the end, the chances that I will return to Chez Julien, even if it was not our initial choice, are very high! Thanks again!
I took the pudding. Honestly, it melted in your mouth, it was so delicious. Small menu choice, but what is there is on point.
Very good service, very good food
Everything was perfect! The dishes were excellent! My new go-to restaurant. I recommend it 1000%.
Good service, lovely ambiance and the food was simply exquisite! It was finger-licking delicious. Its worth the price, Ill go back as soon as Im in the area.
Food was excellent. Loved the location and service.
Delicious, great service. I recommend 100%. To do again for us soon.
Lovely place. Impeccable service with a smile and free in between.
Incredible flavors!
The food was delicious! The dishes very well balanced. We loved it!
Excellent meal in a relaxed atmosphere. Very good service too. We will come back to treat ourselves!
Menu excellent.
One of the excellent restaurants that survived the pandemic
Always good. This was again the case today for the sharing of the day, the duck breast and the beef tartare. Beautiful terrace in the shade of the trees.
Its always a great pleasure to go to this restaurant, the dishes are excellent, the trout and fried squid starter is a must to taste, the bison dish for two people is divine, and the lamb chops are amazing! a delight to the palate. I highly recommend it. Well done!
Very good and good service.
Super
Ordered one cauliflower poutine appetizer, 2 mocktails, carbonara, risotto, boudin +scallops and a mi fondant dessert. Everything was delicious, very tasty and balanced flavours. Service was impeccable and very accommodating to my 3 yr old. Hidden gem on the south shore!
A tad pricy but totally worth it. All the food we ordered was delicious. The portions are not huge, but the food is so rich that you wouldn t want more than what was served. The decaf coffee was not good (the only part of the meal I wouldn t order again.)
We had a great summer experience at this place. Glass of white and very good dish on the terrace in old La Prairie, its difficult to do better. Simply charming.
We ate very well with good, attentive service. I recommend Chez Julien!
Excellent, courteous service and an exceptional menu!!!! Wonderful evening. A bit of a lounge atmosphere...Very pleasant. Everything was exquisite. THANKS
Located on a beautiful site, the waitress was very friendly and had a nice appearance. But the prices are expensive, small fries for $9, yes it is good but nothing more. PS; It was a quick stop when I was on a bike route so maybe the rest of the menu would be worth it. If you want a little semi-romantic outing with a walk and you like the architecture of yesteryear then try the place.
Thank you to CHEF PAT for our excellent dishes and congratulations to your team for the very good service! for the wine selection The best restaurant in La Prairie
The service and food are impeccable.
I used their catering service for an event of 170 people and we loved it. You have confidence with Jean-Claude who takes care of everything. Thank you once again!
Everything was good until the last crumb!!! From the entrance to the desert! OMG the lamb and sugar tart sharing plate!!!! And what about the cocktails! For some, this restaurant would perhaps be expensive, but I find it completely reasonable for everything that me and my partner took! I recommend! If youre on the south shore, go there!
Creative, tasty, unique, gourmet dishes. Everything has that little extra WOW touch. Had been 3 years we had not gone but at first bite we knew why we loved that place We will be back soon! The resto that keeps on impressing. Great everything tonight (Nov 4 2022)
Top service and sophisticated cuisine. I really liked the cocktails, starters and desserts. We had an excellent evening. I recommend.
Very good restaurant
Wow! When you say it tastes like heaven, well that s Julien s. The Mac n cheese simply WOW and what about the Peking duck. It melts in the mouth. Cauliflower poutine is the best poutine I have ever eaten. The portions are generous. Friendly staff, quick service. Cleanliness #1. Its worth the detour.
We ordered takeaway on Friday and it was really ordinary. The Ours burger had no taste, the fries were frozen and not homemade, the cauliflower poutine was really mediocre and Arrancini bacon and cheese curds left something to be desired.. Bad experience.
Very pleased with my first experience. The menu, short but varied, offers a modern and chic table. I loved the green salad with strawberry vinaigrette and the black sea bass on risotto verde. The trout tartare lacked a little taste on the other hand. Otherwise, the signature Mule cocktail was excellent. The service is courteous and very fast. I highly recommend!
A delight for the palate!
Everything is excellent, as well as the superb location.
Too expensive for kind of menu
Wow!!! Refined cuisine, excellent, unpretentious service. Everything was DELICIOUS!
We went at the end of the evening, me and a friend, to have a drink and dessert. The cocktails were fabulous and the desserts really delicious. I cant wait to go back for a full meal. They have a charming little terrace with a view of the old La Prairie church which is all lit up. Beautiful magical atmosphere.
Never been disappointed with this place! The food is sublime! The lamb pasta, seafood pasta, duck, even the blood sausage, etc... including the desserts are delectable! The cocktails like the strawberry kir des champs is a pure delight!And they encourage the Quebec wines from the St-Jacques estate and I must say that the rosé is delicious!The decor has been brought up to date and it remains chic and clean!And we are in the heart of old La Prairie opposite the magnificent church !And without the famous virus we can see and listen to the Thursdays of old La Prairie !There is also a beautiful terrace on the side !The staff is very courteous! (P.S.:The only small problem! Its the bathroom and I know they cant do anything about that but its small! She works for me and most people but Im sure it causes trouble for some people!)
Excellent place. I highly recommend Chez Julien for those who appreciate good food, family restaurant style, very good attentive service.
Really excellent, the beef tartare was exceptional. Very nice terrace.
Outstanding service, great food and excellent value for money. Spotlessly clean. Beautiful terrace.
Superb terrace with the feeling of Vieux-LaPrairie, located in front of the sumptuous church which lights up during dusk, with a beautiful romantic illuminated path adjoining the terrace; varied music ranging from Harmonium to Nancy Sinatra, etc. And much more!
First experience and I will definitely return. Excellent bistro. Limited menu, but very interesting. And the sugar tart...
Wow excellent gastro restaurant nice fish or meat menu.. Beautiful environment in old La Prairie..
A real happiness. I had the black pudding, it was sublime. A must, Bravo!!!
Excellent, period.
Amazing, amazing place for a good French dinner in the Rive Sud. All dishes are perfect, highly recommend you go at night and sit in the terrace :) simply perfect
Succulent!!! Excellent and attentive service!! Ive been there a few times and always delighted!! I highly suggest!!!!
Wonderful meal and impeccable service.
We found Chez Julien while searching for a caterer for our wedding. We took their lunch boxes, which in addition to having a competitive price, were all three* DELICIOUS! The guests are still talking to us about it, the boxes are completely emptied and otherwise taken to take home! The quantities were perfect, every item was seasoned well - from salads to tartares to chips. The boxes are made of cardboard and laminated inside to prevent any damage, a much more chic look than we expected for lunch boxes - pleasantly surprised! They were well identified and we even had a surplus of homemade chips to give to everyone. Delivery was made at the agreed time. They showed great flexibility in the previous weeks with the event which was uncertain at the time of celebrating for the number of people and the confirmation of meals, we really appreciated it. They always responded very quickly to our emails and calls when necessary, impeccable service on all points! We 100% recommend their catering service and look forward to going to the real restaurant! *St-Jacques - Beef tartare, Émilie Gamelin - vegetarian beet tartare box and St-Henri maple caramelized pork.
The food is delicious I had a great time I highly recommend it
You have to go there..great service and great food.
Almost perfect meal, disappointed dessert
Great ambience, amazing food (though the steak wasnt medium like ordered), but the more important a first class empathetic, courteous service. Definitely a gem to visit in La Prairie
We had a great time. Fast and attentive service. The dishes are quite classic but well executed. Value for money a little high compared to several restaurants in Montreal.
Thank you for making our group so welcome!
Good service! Good dishes,
Very warm, very good service and very relaxing and very good beautiful presentation everything was good
It was just Wow! Great ambiance, good service and delicious food
Food is excellent during the day or evening. Meat, fish and pasta are all delicious served in large portions (I usually eat a lot) Also, the servers and owners know me even though I go to this restaurant 2-3 times a year. Warm and pleasant service, perfect for couples or small groups. In addition, they have always welcomed me respectfully since I was young and I am an adult today.
Nice cozy bistro, very friendly waitress Had Lunch Menu, very tasty.
Excellent meal, great discovery!
Not really up to par... Julien has lost some feathers, its no longer like before... Very disappointed
Great ambiance, service and portion. Food was excellent.
Excellent from start to finish, both the food and the impeccable service.
Very good restaurant, very good staff
Truly impressive. Expensive but without regret or disappointment. Refined dishes, beautiful view of old La Prairie. Numerous promotions in progress. Never disappointed.
Thank you to Marie Eve Pierre de Luxe for the excellent Mother s Day dinner that you prepared for us! Everything was great! Thanks again and well do it again! Normand it was a great pleasure to see you again but next time Alain would like to see the female agency hehe! Well done and thank you for everything! I LOVEXOXOXO Diane and Alain Riouxoxox ,
Always good
Delicious, great service and fast.
Food is very good and big portion.
Good service, very good, nice place, nice terrace
To bring and it was very good
Delicious
Very good but noisy
My little relax to disconnect with friends and eat good food I recommend you!!!!
Excellent and very good service! I highly recommend it (we drove 1 hour just to eat there and it was well worth it)!
Very nice welcome, excellent service and excellent meal
An experience that deserves 5 stars. Well done! To begin with, the service was impeccable. The waitress gave us the complete menu and was able to answer all our questions to help us make our choices. All the dishes were tasty, delicious, cooked to perfection and well presented. The well-balanced wine list with ample choice for all tastes. Finally, the prices are more than reasonable. Nothing to complain about. We will return.
Excellent. I cant wait to go back.
Excellent
The menu and decor has changed. I hadnt eaten there before. I really liked the trout and octopus poke and the scallops. The cauliflower poutine was good too.
Excellent meal and well received!
Wow great new menu
Excellent restaurant and very good service, the food is really good.
Food very good!
Nice welcome, we were seated on the edge of the window. Beautiful table, but the bench is high compared to the table. We went there on a Friday at 8 p.m., the restaurant was not full, maybe half. The menu is short and simple. Prices are reasonable. We had good service. We chose the fried mushrooms - $11, very good. Fried and grilled squid. We were a little surprised to see that the squid were not all fried, because we didnt read it correctly, but they were very good - $17, and homemade black pudding toast - $18, really excellent. For the wine, we chose the Mio de M.O., 2014, excellent. My wine glass was dirty and they changed it right away. We are served a pic with baguette bread. The food was good and the atmosphere wasnt too loud. Charming little restaurant.
Very nice summer ambience
Good choice and original
Really delicious.
Excellent service, attentive server. The food was also of high quality and delicious. The terrace is pretty.
Excellent dinner this evening at Juliens. Dont miss the mushroom puff pastry; a real delight. Well done to the chef!
This fine dining restaurant will not keep the keto cuisine lover indifferent. The way the menu is designed, you are free to choose your dishes and accompaniments. The staff is attentive and answers all questions about the ingredients used. Great service.
Delicious! Small bites to share. The location in Old La Prairie is fantastic!
Generally a good restaurant, with decent pricing if you go during the week (specials on weekdays). Only constructive criticism I would give is my glass of wine was served too warm and was at its end of life (bottle must have been opened for a while, started turning to vinegar) and the salmon tartar has too much additional spices so the taste of the salmon gets lost. Otherwise, good place, I would go back.
An A1 wine list and succulent dishes... all in a charming decor and served by very courteous staff... Simply perfect!!
IT WAS excellent
We really liked the quality of the dishes chosen and the very good customer service. A very popular meal!
Excellent dishes, attentive service
Excellent meal tried the oysters
excellent menu
Overall, our experience was not up to par with previous customer reviews. We were well received by the staff. Our table was in a secluded corner, which gave our group good privacy, but placed us out of sight of the waitress, whom I had to fetch to order. For our group of ten, a large table was extended with a small, rickety, narrower table, which was annoying. The menu we were given suggested three courses to make a complete meal, which is not indicated on the online menu, and which took us a little while to understand, despite the explanations from the waitress. The service was generally friendly, attentive (except at the end) and quite fast, except for the dish of the day, which was served last, without explanation, which is the opposite of our expectations. I liked the wine. The food was generally decent or good, depending on the dishes, but not up to the prices charged. The crème brûlée was excellent, but the sugar tart praised by the waitress was not one in my opinion: not very sweet, lacking in taste and without a grainy texture, rather gelatinous. After paying, without receiving the simple thank you that politeness requires, we no longer existed for the staff, who were invisible when we left.
Wow, impeccable service and cuisine!
Excellent service and great food
