Julie's Restaurant and Bar
"Hidden away in Clarendon Cross, one of the most picturesque corners of West London, is Julie’s, a Holland Park favourite, neighbourhood classic and hang-out for the Hollywood set. First opened in 1969 by celebrated interior designer Julie Hodges, the distinctive, decadent style and discreet setting of Julie's restaurant was an instant hit with famous actors, fashion icons, artists and royalty and became a stalwart of the London dining scene. After a brief closure and now under new ownership, Julie's is primed to re-announce itself to the once again burgeoning West London hospitality scene and reaffirm its position as a destination restaurant for a new generation of discerning clientele. A cultural landmark cherished by many!"

Cute place that just reopened after 2 years. Food was extremely pricey but it’s expected from the hype/fame it gets. It’s very tasty tho. Drinks are surprisingly not too expensive. Tables are so close together we literally know the couple next to us was on their first date because we can hear what they talk about. Outdoor seating seems nice but I can’t imagine the trouble that I have to go through to secure a table.
Excellent spot for a lunch for two. Lovely atmosphere and great service. The food was also nicely executed from starters to mains with seasonal products. Will definitely go back soon.
Excellent lunch for two, great food and service. We loved the trout pastrami, courgette rice, crab and scallop tortellini and the cauliflower with barley was a great vegetarian option. Good bottle of Albariño was a reasonable price. Cherry and almond tart a delicious way to end the meal. Will be back Vegetarian options: Cauliflower with barley
Firstly, the restaurant is beautiful, and the decor is phenomenal. The ground floor has a strong fish smell, but fortunately, we were seated downstairs where there was no fish smell and it was quieter. With a group of eight, the downstairs area was perfect. We sampled a large portion of the menu, and overall, everything was good. Only one dish was subpar, but nothing was outstanding either. The meat was good, the fries were great, and the mashed potatoes were nice. The spider crab was decent, and sharing one between two people is a smart choice. The bacon butter is incredible. The lobster Caesar was okay, as was the beef tartare and crab tortellini. The duck à l'orange was dry and tasteless. The highlights of the meal were the lobster soufflé and the bacon butter, which essentially came with the bread basket. The staff was friendly, and the wine selection was excellent. However, the service needs improvement. We had three different bottles of wine, but our glasses were never refilled without having to call a waiter, which was difficult since we were seated in a booth. Overall, I do recommend Julie's, and I'm confident their service will improve over time.
As we entered the restaurant, we were immediately struck by the beautiful decor—seriously, I half-expected to see a fashion show break out! One of the managers greeted us warmly and swiftly whisked us to our table, making us feel like VIPs right away. The banquette was chic and comfortable, perfect for lounging and pretending we were in a trendy magazine. However, while the table had a lovely colour, I couldn’t help but feel it might have been designed for hobbits; its size and proximity to other patrons were a bit cozy, shall we say? It was clear that the restaurant's design was executed with professionalism, although a few mirrors could use a little more attention for that shine. The service was prompt, attentive, and yet not invasive. We appreciated the little touches, such as complimentary water, bread, and other nibbles, which made us feel like royalty, minus the crown and the responsibilities. For starters, we ordered the duck liver schnitzel topped with an egg and chives, resting on confit like a celebrity on a red carpet. It was an incredible bundle of flavour, texture, and juices. The sommelier was very helpful in providing recommendations and accurately gauging what I was looking for. His wine pairing was spot on and complemented my steak beautifully. For the main course, I went for the sirloin with peppercorn sauce, which was cooked to perfection with quality ingredients and seasoning that could make even a salt shaker jealous. The peppercorn sauce had a delightful kick that we absolutely loved. Our waiter, Marc D., expertly deboned the sole, leaving no bones behind yet keeping it presentable—he deserved a round of applause for that one! The Ratte potatoes were generously buttered—some might say a bit too much, but I found it just right. They were nearly perfectly cooked, although I would have appreciated an extra minute. The carrots were well-cooked, and the sole was so tender it practically crumbled under the weight of our adoration. The strong citrus flavours complemented the dish perfectly, creating a flavour profile that could charm even the pickiest of palates. For dessert, we tried the crème brûlée, which sparked some debate about its colour—it could have used a little more love. The texture could have been creamier; it was a bit too solid for my liking, though the flavour was on point. Even for someone who typically doesn’t enjoy chocolate mousse, I found the Roche perfectly light in both texture and flavour, with just the right amount of dark chocolate—not so much that I felt like I was biting into a cocoa bean! The lovely touch of salt and drizzle on top was a nice addition. The shape of the Roche was also perfect, and the pistachio cuboid paired beautifully with the mousse, balancing the dryness and stickiness of the pistachio—it was like a match made in dessert heaven! Finally, we had the pear and almond tart. Unfortunately, it seemed to have suffered from a bit of a mid-life crisis in terms of presentation, with the tart’s point appearing to have collapsed. The cut was angled, which was a detail that did not go unnoticed. However, the flavour of the pear was delicious. The base was a bit hard, and while the almond filling was good, it was somewhat dry. I felt that incorporating roasted and blitzed almonds into the crème fraîche instead of justin crème fraîche could have enhanced the tart significantly, adding a complementary almond flavour without altering the texture—think of it as a makeover for the tart! Overall, it was a delightful dining experience, complete with a few minor critiques. I would certainly recommend this restaurant for its ambiance, service, and innovative dishes. Just remember to bring your stretchy pants—you’ll need them!
Best brunch in london. Attentive service, owner kindly greeted us, delicious food, cozy terrace with heaters and blankets, live piano on Sunday afternoon. Nice for a couple or group of 4-6 friends & family. Dog friendly Recommend the quail egg toast, cabbage, seafood tower as a starter, & sausage. For drinks - pear pastis and bloody mary :
With the warmer weather coming to London, do consider Julie’s for brunch during the day. The outdoor seating is ideally placed to provide quiet in the hustle and bustle of the City. If you’re dining with friends, do consider the seafood tower as you won’t find anything this good in the neighbourhood. The desserts are also sublime.Food: 5/5
Can't recommend this place enough. From the decor, friendly service, to the food - standouts are to butter changes daily and for us was with leek and bacon - amazing, then the oysters, beef tartar best I've had and lobster souffle. Also very welcoming of my three year old! Gave her colouring pencils which she loved.
I was so impressed by the service. The interiors are stunning and the menu and wine list are to die for. This reboot of a Holland Park establishment is a MUST visit for anyone who enjoys delicious French brasserie cuisine with a fun and cheerful ambiance! Don’t sleep on the cocktails which were some of the best I’ve tasted in a long time!
Quite possibly the only place you’ll ever need to go to in London, from now on until, well… forever, really. For brunch, for lunch, for dinner. For a date, catchup with friends, or a party night, Julie’s does it all. And with such style! Julie’s has been an absolute institution since the 1970s and was at the very top of London hotspots for decades, counting the likes of Mick Jagger, Princess Margaret and Princess Diana as regulars. Annie Lennox came by often, Kate Moss celebrated her 17th birthday at the restaurant, and Tina Turner danced on the table in a corner known affectionately as the “G-spot”. It remained a venerable neighbourhood favourite all the way through the decades, and now the amazing Cordon Bleu-trained new owner Tara has taken the helm together with an amazing team. She is reimagining the iconic restaurant while bringing back the effortless elegance of the original, and keeping the neighbourhood spirit at the same time. And the results speak for themselves. Absolutely every single detail is carefully thought out. The decor is gorgeous and the atmosphere incredible, and each and every dish and item of food, elegantly presented in French brasserie style, and created by an awesome team under the auspices of Chef patron Own and the well-known front of house manager Emma, is simply delicious. On weekends, there is even a live pianist playing all the best tunes from Elton John to Billy Joel. A place I’m sure to return to, again and again.
