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!

Valentine’s Day

Cocktail fun

For our diners that love a great cocktail before Dinner or happen to be looking to celebrate a special moment, we have some great cocktails to share about.

Hello, Mint Julep.

At Julia’s, we love to marry the fresh ingredients that Chef Alaun is using in the restaurant and bring them into our drinks.  The mint is beautiful and in season.

Next up is the Kir Royal.

Ours uses Jean Philippe Brut Sparkling Wine and Creme de Cassis.  Not only is this one pretty, but a nice sparkling wine is guaranteed to make you smile.

Last up is a current favorite of many, a Fresh Margarita.

Ours brings together Herradura Tequila, agave, fresh lime and salt.

Join us for Lounge Hours, Tuesday thru Saturday from 4:30pm – 8pm and treat yourself to one of these cocktails or see many of the offerings we have available.

Cheers!

New cocktails

We have some delicious new cocktails to share about with you.

Hello, Citron Martini. With summer coming to an end, we are delighted to head into fall soon and welcome all the greatness of citrus.

Ours is prepared with vanilla vodka, limoncello, freshly squeezed lemon and simple syrup.

Next up is a Fresh Margarita.

Our take on this classic drink is tequila, agave, fresh lime and salt.

Wrapping things up on our current favorites is a Negroni.

 Ours is made with gin, campari and sweet vermouth.

Come on in and see the other refreshing options that we have on the cocktail menu, served Tuesday – Saturday from 4:30pm – 8pm.

Summertime desserts

We are enjoying the long days of summer, the warm breezes and delicious food.

With Chef Alaun’s creativity, diners seem to always save a little room for dessert.

A current favorite on the dessert menu is the Tarte aux Framboises.

It is all quite divine with crème pâtissière and mascarpone chantilly.

Rounding things up and true to French form, is a delicious cheese plate.

This plate, accented with Roquefort blue cheese, fig jam, candied walnuts and crostini is the perfect ending to your meal.

Come and join us at Julia’s for Lunch or Dinner.  The options for all courses are tempting and delicious.

Cheers!

Bastille Day

We all knew Chef Alaun would have amazing things up his sleeve for Bastille Day.

If you are not familiar with this French holiday, it commemorates the beginning of the French Revolution with the Storming of the Bastille on July 14, 1789.

We will have a menu that consists of your choice of a starter, main course and dessert, along with wines by the glass or flight.

Pricing is $45/person and for BCC Members, your discount applies.

Tax, gratuity and beverages are additional.

Contact our Team at 510.280.1547 or julias@berkeleycityclub.com to secure a table, as limited reservations are available.

Cheers!
