About Us

In 1997, Jason Ellison opened the doors of Chez Jules, bringing the authentic flavours of French cuisine to the heart of Chester. While our team has grown over the years, our core values and passion for great food and hospitality have remained unchanged. We are dedicated to offering an unforgettable dining experience, combining exquisite French dishes with exceptional wines, all at great value. Every visit to Chez Jules is filled with warmth and genuine hospitality, delivered by a team that truly cares.

Our History

Chez Jules has something of a fiery history – since 1911 when the Earl of Chester’s Fire Brigade moved into this building, for what was at the time, Chester’s purpose-built fire station, then to become a law court in 1971 and finally an amazing restaurant from 1997 to date.
