Julie's
Experience Timeless Elegance and Modern French Cuisine at Julie's
Julie's, located on the elegant Portland Road in Holland Park, is a beautifully restored modern French brasserie with a rich history dating back to 1969. Originally launched by designer Julie Hodgess and now led by owner Tara MacBain, the restaurant has long attracted artists, creatives, and celebrities with its atmospheric interiors and refined charm. The space, redesigned by Rosanna Bossom and Sophie Harvey, is a visual feast of bespoke chandeliers, deep banquettes, vintage walnut tables, and a volcanic stone-topped bar. Julie’s offers an immersive dining experience across several inviting spaces including an alfresco terrace, ground floor dining room, basement lounge, and a stylish private room — ideal for special occasions and intimate gatherings. Chef Patron Owen Kenworthy oversees a menu that champions modern French cuisine, from delicate seafood towers to comforting classics, all served in a setting that radiates romantic ambiance and historic glamour. With live piano music adding to the evening buzz, Julie’s is a neighbourhood favourite that balances elegance with warmth. Open for lunch and dinner daily, with brunch available on weekends and a fab Sunday lunch, it remains a West London institution — a celebrity hotspot with timeless appeal and impeccable taste.
