We've never been disappointed with JJ's Bistro de Paris. It's our default choice of restaurants when looking for affordable pampering. My husband & I have enjoying this establishment for several years. We've always been impressed with the attentive waitstaff, inventive menu, yummy meals, quiet artistic setting, and the ahhhhhhh feeling while dining. We're not true foodies, but we do have fairly high standards, have traveled quite a bit, and expect good service. We've eaten at both JJ's in Jacksonville and prefer the Bistro de Paris.
A favorite with the excellent service, food and wine. Best dessert selections in Jacksonville. Nice atmosphere for a romantic meal. A little pricy but they do have coupons.
I love this restaurant and go there for lunch and dinner all the time. Always have nice dinner specials with local ingredients which I love. A very nice privately owned restaurant which I would recommend to everyone. Very romantic and great friendly staff!!!! Good job JJ's, we will see you soon!
What a wonderful restaurant. Went the other night with my wife for dinner and they were very busy but still was able to have a wonderful evening with her. I guess they have a new chef and manager and we have been there many times in the past but this was by far the best time we have ever had. Perfect place to go out to dinner, wonderful food and service. I definently will be back!!!!good job chef and manager!!!!
Great food!!. Been a while since we've been in and I'm glad we went back. Apparently under new management, and it showed. Our dinner was outstanding and the desserts were to die for. We will be back!!
Romantic Atmosphere. If you want a place to get away for a bit with friends or even a romantic getaway this is it!! Great little secret. Food is awesome, but a pit pricey. The coffee and desserts are what my husband and I go for once a month for date night. It still costs a little bit but it's worth it!! The desserts are one-of-a-kind and HUGE!!! We go and play cards while enjoying coffee and a different dessert each time. I've been for lunch with girl friends and the food was amazing!! We all tried food from each other's plates and I could not decide which was my favorite dish. You need to experience it once and you will go back again, I promise.
Don't Overlook Take-Out. Most of the reviews center on the (quite good) sit-down experience, but I want to commend it as a take-out option--especially for lunch. For a quick lunch, their gourmet sandwiches are an excellent choice and ready within a very short time after phoning in an order. They even have a couple of dedicated parking spaces for take-out customers (a valuable commodity in this busy little strip on Gate Parkway).
Nice little place. I've been to JJ's several times, and every visit has been pleasant.. The staff is always very courteous and prompt, and the manager/owner regularly visits our table to check on us. They also have great deals for special occassions and wine sales. Vichyssoise, Insalata Caprese, and Mussels Provencal were very tasty.
Loved it. The snapper almondine was great, especially the lemon beurre risotto. My gf had the vegetarian trio. Lots of variety for the picky eater, and everything was delicious. The chocolate cherry torte was awesome. A little pricey, but probably the best food I've eaten in Jax.
I'd go just for the coffee. I find that restaurants skimp on coffee--not at JJ's--the coffee was just as delicious as the desserts. I'll definitely be back for more!
This is a romantic place for a date night. The atmosphere is quiet, service prompt and food fantastic. They also have a wonderful selection of wines. We had the caprese salad, filet, and New York strip. Unfortunately we didn’t have room for dessert so we got macaroons to go. We will be returning.
First of all. This unique dining spot is quaint and delightful. The chef prepares amazing dishes for you to get lost in. Must must go. Friendly staff. Friday evening was slow which made me wonder if the prices could be driving away some clientele. Is the food wonderful yes. It is expensive, also yes. Up to you if you choose to indulge.
Amazing!!! I've had some wonderful meals in my life but this was by far the best food I have ever had. The crab encrusted salmon with risotto was rich and savory. It tasted like heaven. I even liked the beets, who knew?!
I had to make myself stop and save room for dessert. Bananas Florentine, definitely worth the calories. My husband had the duck and it was yummy too but I would absolutely recommend the salmon! 😉

We stopped here for lunch and were not disappointed. Inside is lovely and very comfortable, but you can also opt to dine outside. Service was friendly and accomodating.
They started us off with some fresh baked bread and homemade butter, both wonderful.
The baked brie was a generous portion of delicious cheese in a wonderful pastry. It also comes with crostinis and between the two you probably have a meal in itself.
My salad Nicoise with very good with a nice variety of items. There was only one anchovy, and I was a little surprised that's all they included. Tuna serving was generous and perfectly seared. Dressing was excellent.
The also had the crab cake sandwich, the JJ's Carver, and the Combo Des Alpes on croissant. All well made with heaps of fillings and very good. Pro tip - ask for a side of stone ground mustard for your sandwich.
French onion soup was hot and cheesy, and what's really nice is you can get a cup size which is a perfect portion to accompany one of the huge sandwiches.
Now the desserts...we were too full to eat them there but decided to take them home. Be careful, they are $10 each except for the macaroons which are the only bakery item they don't make themselves. We had the fruit tart, the eclair, and the plain cheesecake, and all of them were outstanding. Probably the best eclair I've ever eaten. Would I do dessert there again? Heck yeah!
Overall a wonderful meal that now has us eagerly curious for dinner. Note that lunch service ends at 1:30 and dinner starts at 5.
One of my favorite places to eat! Food is outstanding, but can be pricey. Not exactly a place to bring young kids. Atmosphere can be romantic, but it is simple. Service staff is very attentive, knowledgeable and willing to work a little to make it a wonderful experience.
Wowed and pampered. I’m familiar with many areas of cafes in France and they have created an excellent and calming rendition of these magical places.
PS The delicacies are also very well represented here. Thank you JJ’s Bistro de Paris and Krista for the impressive quality and quantity of service and deliciousness! Tre bien ! Merci beaucoup!
My daughter and I went for a girl's night or and Jessica took very good care of us. Can't wait to go back!
Great place and highly recommend going. The food is always good, but it has gotten pretty expensive. It is a little annoying to pay 2x the price for a bottle of wine that they have sitting on the shelf when you walk in. The deserts are amazing.

Took my friend here for the first time, the food was Phenomenal. I'm a foodie and love sharing the best places to eat in Jacksonville with my friends. This is one of my favorites. The staff, owner and Chef are some of the best here. My friend has waited her whole 68 years of life to said "My comments to the Chef" and last night she found every reason to want to say it, after meeting the Chef she was excited to then say it to him. I Highly recommend this Everything from scratch French restaurant to any and all that want their taste buds exploding with flavors. Every stock, soup and course is made right in this kitchen from an experienced Chef, who is down to earth and gracious enough to come out of his kitchen to make sure our meal was perfect. Bravo for making our night out a experience that will not be forgotten!!!
I am so glad this was the first restaurant I chose for my friend to eat at to break her out of Covid-19 self induced hiding.
I can't wait to share with other friends and family my favorite restaurant (and now my friend's favorite as well).
Thus is a cute little restaurant in Jacksonville.
It's a southern interpretation of a bistro. The decor is fun. It's moderately busy at the Friday lunch I went there. I had their quiche and soup. It was actually very good. The waitstaff were very pleasant and available but unobtrusive.
