Which would be tastier for Christmas day lunch, 2024?

I have eaten at neither but have eaten at bouillons. Everything on Julien’s Christmas menu is commonly found at various restaurants in France, with the exception of chapon a poultry served during the holidays, and yule log, which are available in every bakery and pastry shop. It’s a simple menu with some nice vegies, so I’d wonder if diners would be rushed in order to turn tables. Julien is part of a chain of newly-revised restaurants serving foods our mothers, grandmothers made. They are often crowds waiting to get in for the homestyle plates at lower prices.

Chez Paul has a large selection à la carte, some interesting dishes that you won’t find easily in the US (rillettes de lapin, confit lamb shoulder, a charlotte for dessert not found on a lot of menus though they are in pastry shops, for example). They will probably have some very nice specials on Christmas Day that they save for holidays. Personally, I’d go to Chez Paul and get a nice big meal, including a glass of champagne and more. Bon apetite.

Chez Paul has great food and a really nice atmosphere. I’d happily go back.

Am I the only one that finds yule logs pretty but rather nasty to eat? I'd go for the charlotte any day.

You may be.
There are so many variations, that there's something for everyone.

I've had yule logs in France half a dozen times and have yet to have one I would prefer to a souffle or a pavlova or even a nice cup of ice cream. To each his own.

Thank you for your responses, @Elizabeth and @Margaret. I ended up cancelling the other and will try Chez Paul since it has many more options.
