Dessert favorites

Chef Alaun has some amazing desserts being featured at Julia’s.  Let’s take a peek.

First off, the Fromage du Jour, paired with a sweet jam and a warm baguette.

This choice is perfectly French and lovely for those that desire something a little different and not overly sweet.

Cheese types rotate frequently, but rest assured, Chef has amazing taste and a notable creative flair, so you will end your meal on a delicious note.

Next up is our Orange Polenta Cake

This wonderful cake uses poached kumquats and has a side of brown butter ice cream.  Cue the mouth watering my friends.  This one is a must try.

For our chocolate lovers, you can’t go wrong with the Chocolate Pot de Créme.

It is accented with an almond crumble and lavender chantilly.  Perfection.

Make plans to join us for Lunch or Dinner soon.  With spring on the horizon, it is the perfect time to get out and celebrate.

Cheers!

Vegetable love

At Julia’s, we love using what is fresh, in-season and delicious.

The vegetables spanning our Lunch & Dinner menus are a front-runner to showcasing what is amazing around the Bay Area.

Chef Alaun’s creative mastery uses them to highlight all of his courses, but they really shine greatly in our Starters and Main Courses.

Hello beautiful beets.

Not only are they gorgeous, they are firm and delicious.  Suspend any disbelief that you don’t care for beets, and sink your teeth into these.

These are beets to be savored and accented just as our Team does, with cara cara oranges for an unexpected pop of color and toasted almonds for a bit of texture and dimension.

Another gorgeous option for vegetables is the radishes & cucumber salad.

There is a freshness here like no other and crispness to the vegetables that is perfectly satisfying.

Not only it is colorful, it is full of flavor.  It is love at first bite.

Rounding things up, we love asparagus.

With this beautifully done steak, this vegetable pairs perfectly.

With a mild crispness to each bite, you can truly taste the freshness here.

Hello, perfection.

Our diners love the way vegetables are used throughout our dishes.
