Book NowAbout Julie Restaurant
Set inside the historic Abbotsford Convent, Julie offers produce-driven dining in a relaxed, rustic room. The seasonal chef’s menu leans into punchy savouries—think crisp farinata, cucumber gazpacho laced with almond, and braised capretto that falls right off the bone. Regulars often add the supplementary scallop-and-prawn raviolo to bolster the spread. The dining pace stays unhurried, letting the kitchen steer things from tender snapper straight through to a delicate slice of crostoli cake or chocolate finished with fresh figs.
