Jules Boules Bites Bar Rotterdam in IJsselmonde

A peculiar and disappointing experience. Upon entering, we were asked if we wanted to eat, to which we indicated that this was indeed our intention. We then waited for about 20 minutes, but unfortunately, no one came to our table to bring a menu or take our order. What made it even more frustrating was that the staff were mostly standing around chatting with each other and even taking selfies, instead of paying attention to the customers. Meanwhile, we just sat there waiting without being served. Eventually, we paid for our drinks and left. When settling the bill, I pointed out to the waitress that no one had come to us during that time to bring a menu or ask what we wanted to eat. Very disappointing and, as far as we are concerned, absolutely not the service you should expect from a restaurant.

Friendly service, good food, nice restaurant. Thanks for the hospitality. Plenty of parking spaces outside (paid parking though).

Had a good meal, friendly service, nice atmosphere

Nice location where you can also do a number of activities. Food is good, very large portions.

Department outing! To be honest, I had expected the bowling/stone grill concept. 1. Petanque is actually quite fun 😉 2. The food was non-standard and very good!

Upon arrival, the waitress was in a bad mood and we were not treated kindly. The tapas we ordered ended up at the wrong table three times, and it seemed as if everyone else was getting their food faster, while we had to wait extra long and were completely ignored. As a paying guest, and if you want guests to return—which is good for the business—I will behave differently as an employee. We will never return here.

We had the Spanish tapas menu and it was very tasty, and all the dishes were served deliciously hot.

Good value for money, friendly staff, prompt service.

Had a great time bowling and afterwards enjoyed a delicious charcuterie board. Very friendly staff!

Great location for a wonderful night out with excitement, games, and delicious food 🥂

Received very kindly by the staff, compliments! Nice atmosphere inside, beautiful decorations, definitely worth coming here!

Really top restaurant, we go almost every week.

I wouldn't order Tataki again; it's supposed to be partly red. But the rest was just good, and the service was top-notch too.

Enjoyed delicious food and drinks.

Nice, atmospheric place with tasty snacks

Super accommodation, the pétanque courts are well maintained. There were 14 of us, and afterwards we spontaneously went for dinner, which was very good. The staff was very friendly and helpful. We hope to be able to go again soon.

Good lunch menu and fast service.

We ate here yesterday and I just wanted to put a review on Google, because it was incredibly good. All three of us had a three-course menu, which consisted of delicious dishes, every single one of them. And quite affordable too, for a change. Well prepared, really hot, good fries, tasty meat, a delicious dessert. Highly recommended. I mean... We actually never had such a good impression of this place, but now that we've been here, we are definitely going to come back. It was truly a great experience. As far as we are concerned, it is definitely worth repeating and I can only recommend it to other people as well. They have separated from... from Bouls & Bites and have a fantastic restaurant! That is why it is called Jules now, but you can still play Jue de boules there.

We were warmly welcomed with friendly smiles, enjoyed fast service, and had absolutely delicious meals. We’ll definitely be coming back again!

Had a great time playing with the family and had a delicious meal. Fantastic!

Cool concept and very friendly staff. Good food and a wide selection of drinks and beer.

Super cozy and relaxed atmosphere. Good quality and guidance! The host was very friendly and helpful!

Had a top-notch experience, ate very well several times, and the service was great! Definitely something to come back to more often.

Perfect place for a bite to eat/three-course menu or for a delicious drink.

Nice atmosphere. Good food. In short, great for a sporty day out.

We reserved for a group of 9 people, but due to illness, we ended up being 8. It is understandable that there are rules for this, but absolutely no leniency was shown. Additionally, there was a hair in a drink (which even ended up in my mouth). We received an apology and the cup was exchanged, but nothing further was done about it. It is a shame that so little understanding and flexibility was shown. That would have made the experience much better.

Nice, cozy place. For a game and a bite to eat and a drink.

Super fun, really enjoyed it, nice staff

Amazing, the staff is super nice and attentive. You don't come across that very often anymore these days. Highly recommended! And the food was tasty too.

Cozy place, highly recommended!

The atmosphere is always so cozy, every day. We love coming here. The staff is top-notch, Marcel himself is absolutely top-notch.

Good restaurant in a great location. New owner, and the food quality is really good. Enjoy the sunshine on the terrace!

It was great to be here! A warm welcome, friendly Rotterdam staff, fun to play in the ball pit, delicious snacks with excellent beers, a nice menu, reasonable prices, and delicious food. Highly recommended!

The staff are brilliant. We wanted to play the boules but it was too busy the kids had a little quick go as the staff let them. Amazing place

Top banana, nice decor and good services

We went here for a company outing. Everything was well organized. Friendly staff, good explanations about boules, and the service regularly checked on us to see if we needed anything or had any questions. The food was delicious, with plenty to try. Booking is highly recommended.

A fun activity for a group. The atmosphere was good and the food was pretty good too.

We had a truly fantastic evening with a large group of 90 (former) colleagues. Great and friendly service that is attentive, a cozy ambiance, and plenty of room for a chat, a bite to eat, a drink, and a game of boules. A very relaxed atmosphere, and the food was beautifully presented and tasted delicious. Highly recommended! We would love to come back again!

Cozy, busy but not too busy. Very friendly staff, very relaxed and laid-back, which makes you feel at ease quickly. The courses are simple but appropriate. Fun to do. The snacks are very good, and everyone at dinner enjoyed the chicken skewers. All in all, we had a very pleasant evening.

Had a nice evening with colleagues, menu choice is somewhat limited otherwise it would have been 5 stars

Lovely location foe our company's team building. Plenty of space to feel separated from other groups and enjoy your drinks and games. Only downside in the area is the limited parking, I'd advice you to go by metro.

Had a delicious lunch before the Feyenoord match.

This is truly the slowest restaurant I've ever eaten at. The waitress was great! But she went back to the kitchen ten times to get our order. It clearly wasn't her fault, but I think she was the only one doing any work. What a load of rubbish (literally)! Never come here. Even one star is too much! The atmosphere was good, but the food 😬

We arrived on the worst day of the year, but wow, you went above and beyond to make us feel comfortable! Nothing but admiration. We'd love to see you again with your experienced staff 😉

We had a delicious lunch and then played a game of pétanque with our parents-in-law. The staff were very friendly and helpful. A beautiful and atmospheric setting with delicious food. We'll definitely be back!

What a lovely, modern restaurant. The service is exceptionally friendly and helpful. The food and drinks are excellent!

The staff is very friendly, and the concept is certainly fun! It was a bit noisy, though. After a while, you get tired of it...

October 11, 2025. What a lovely restaurant this is. We had a pétanque package followed by dinner. The pétanque instruction left nothing to be desired, and the atmosphere was already great. Then we sat down for menu 3. What a surprise! The food here is truly fantastic. Generous portions of fish, meat, or vegetarian, finished off with a fantastic grand dessert. This is highly recommended.

Very busy, but the football was on, but they should have more staff. Drinks wait time is awhile, you need to order your next drink when they bring you one.

We came here to kill time before the FC Feyenoord match, since the stadium is so close. The atmosphere was great and the place got packed closer to kick-off.

Nice for an evening with friends or colleagues

What a great concept! It's a cozy place, the staff were friendly and helpful, and the food was excellent! We had a wonderful family day!

Cozy atmosphere, delicious food and nice service.

Nice place for a beer before the match

After a round of pétanque, we also enjoyed a three-course meal. Never played before, so it was a great introduction and a fun time with friends. The food was excellent, and we had plenty of time; there was no rush. Delicious and good portions! Thanks for the fun and service 👍

Very good burgers and fries, great beer, nice place.

How awesome was this! All the restaurants were full, or reservations were required because of the last concert in De Kupi. Asked... I'll get you a table! This will definitely keep us coming back. You were fantastic 👌

Nice to do once. Friendly staff, but attention to customer could be better.

Really great place. Delicious food, main courses and snacks, and also nice boards (for a group of friends for a beer or a drink). Nice atmosphere. Nice service.

Good food and a nice atmosphere before the Feyenoord matches

please change the name jppppp it’s extremely funny but it doesn’t make you want to eat there

Yesterday we played boules for 1 hour with 5 families (13 people) and shuffleboard for an hour. The staff had some difficulty finding our table for the first 45 minutes, but after a little encouragement from us they more than made up for it. After shuffleboard we all sat down for dinner. I'm always very critical of the food and, to be completely honest, I didn't expect much. With a little luck you will get a good satay in these kinds of places. Nothing could be further from the truth. The kitchen is of a very good standard. They were all large portions, very tasty and beautifully presented. And, not unimportant, everyone at the table had a plate of hot food in front of them within a few minutes when the main course was served. This sounds normal, but unfortunately not many restaurants can make this happen. Great job and we will definitely be back.

Very tasty food, lots of different snacks, and the service was also excellent. Then played jeu de boules, nice combination!

This bar/restaurant is a hip, cheerful place. It is a good place to stay here, especially with a group. It's not just food and drinks here, there are various games. Jeu de boules, throwing balls with the French stroke, and shuffleboard are possible here. The interior is spacious, accessible and industrially furnished. This without stairs or steps. A whole battery of speakers hang above your head. These are clearly present. Up-tempo; so for intimate, romantic dining, other options are recommended. The menu is a la carte and tastefully composed. This area is entertainment through and through. In the form of cinema, arcade games, or restaurants in various tastes and price ranges. This establishment fits in nicely. With the idea that you will stay here a little longer with the group. Parking is no problem here. Or paid in advance on the square, or afterwards in the parking garage. As a grandfather, I had quite a bit of fun with all the possibilities here. The volume resembled a concert hall, but that may have to do with the appearance of the place.

Were here on Friday March 7. Had a late booking, but it was no problem at all. Rakes at the lanes were partly broken or a few forks were missing, making the track a mess of holes, music was turned up louder by the hour and eventually the service came to do the last lap at 11:15 PM, while we had reserved a lane until 00:00! The response from the staff was; "Yes, we actually want to have everything clean in time." When asked if we could order something in terms of drinks or food (as in a snack), we were told that drinks might still be possible, but the rest was really closed and was being cleaned up. In terms of atmosphere, I didn't find it very inviting. Coincidentally discovered this concept of Jules Boules Bites Bar in Alkmaar, and it was a really nice atmosphere there. Unfortunately I didn't have the same experience in Rotterdam.

What seemed like a nice outing turned out to be untrue... mouse droppings everywhere... Jeu de boule to shuffleboard was tiring and the fat guy behind the bar with his black hair didn't want to serve us anything anymore. Crappy tent

The atmosphere was okay, nice restaurant. The food wasn't necessarily tasty, but it wasn't bad either. For what you pay it's just too expensive. Furthermore, the service was unfortunately very poor. We were helped immediately upon arrival and that was nice. But it took 25 minutes until we received the menu card (we had not ordered any drinks at that time) and it took another 25 minutes until the order was taken. We also had to wait a long time for the carpaccio. The main course went well. Strange that the spare ribs were cut into small pieces and arrived in a bowl. Furthermore, the meat was almost exclusively fat. Then we ordered dessert and 2 Amaretto sour. We had to wait about 45 minutes for that. Otherwise the cocktail wasn't that good. I understand that when it is busy it can take a while, but this is really going a bit too far for me. Then the waiter came to ask us if we would like to order something and when I indicated that we had already ordered our dessert for a while, he only realized that we were still waiting. The waiter realized that we had been waiting a long time, so we were allowed to have the cocktails on the house. Yet I will never come back here again, what a disappointment in terms of service. The employees really need better management than this, especially on such a busy evening.

Great location for an informal, nice bite. There are fun games to play such as bocce and shuffleboard.

Cozy, good food, good atmosphere

Nice place to have an outing with the company. We enjoyed the atmosphere and the delicious snacks. The courts were well furnished and pleasant. Definitely worth repeating.

Had an outing here with friends, not cheap but the price quality is good.

Enjoy an afternoon of drinks, bowls and dinner here with a group of friendly people. Service is smooth and friendly and the chef should get a raise, because he can cook very well! I opted for a menu with a starter of brisket with red onion compote, shrimp skewer and a dessert with chocolate cake and ice cream.

What a nice combination between eating and being active. You can eat here and play jeu de boules (10 courts) to keep busy. There are also 2 shuffleboard tables that you can use. The staff is very friendly and professional. Definitely recommended.

Ik vind de service heel slecht, personeel zeer onvriendelijk. Verder is het eten goed alleen jammer dat het zo achterlijk lang duurt allemaal.

Nice outing if you are looking for something unique. I went with my father last Saturday as a “father son outing” and had a laugh, fantastic. Fast service with drinks and snacks. Recommended.

The snacks were tasty but were taken away without asking if we were done. There were also various snacks. Recording the drinks was also messy. Atmosphere was reasonable and employees were not all friendly.

Really cozy place, perfect place to warm up for feyenoord home game at de Kuip. Really good friendly service and good service.

Atmosphere is good, nice place to have a drink with colleagues or friends, but there is a long wait for drinks and the food is not really of high quality.

Unfortunately we had not opted for a package. The arrangement is cheaper than just having a meal.

Nice and convenient place for a pleasant evening with family or friends.

Had a staff outing here. Menu was clear, food looks good, Jeu de boules was great fun, Clearly explained the rules, Toilets a little less, catering was smooth but forgetful,

Cozy jeu de boules court. Indoor, so always good. Friendly staff.

Nice to do once. Jeus de boules. Service was bad. Inexperienced staff with a lot of carelessness.

Nice place to throw a ball and play some other games

Nice ambiance and excellent food.

Very nice for a birthday or other party. We had a nice meal there and then went to play pétanque. If you don't like bocce, you can also opt for shuffleboard or pool. You get a three-course menu. The service is very good, there was someone with a nut and peanut allergy, which we reported in advance and they took this very well into account. All in all a very nice place, but I think there is a bit little choice for food.

I wonder if the inventors of this name wondered how the words "bite" and "boule" were translated into French. You are literally sitting here with cock and balls on a "cocktail". I had a Russian Mule. Very tasty I must say. Service was great.

The games are fun to play (jeu des boules and shuffleboard), but our transition from jeu des boules to the shuffleboard table was quite chaotic. We had reserved 1 hour of pétanque and then an hour of shuffleboard, but it turned out that another group was busy on the shuffleboard tables at the time we had reserved. We had to wait half an hour before we could play shuffleboard. We had to inquire several times whether we could proceed, because we were not informed ourselves about the course of events. The tables and chairs were not clean. The shuffleboard table was also completely sticky from previous users/drinks. Was not cleaned when changing groups. The snacks were tasty, it was nice for once, but I wouldn't go here again anytime soon.

Cozy restaurant, nice and quick service. Finally, another hour of jeux des boules. Very cozy. Recommended!

What a nice place, friendly service! And what a delicious sandwich we had.

Very nice place to spend an afternoon with a group. Friendly staff and fast service. We really enjoyed it

The courses are not that good, location is inconvenient. Beautiful Boules is more fun.

Had a very nice department outing. Would say 10/10. Boules was fun and even became competitive. Snacks and drinks platter delicious. Service nice. And to top it all off, a delicious 3-course menu.

The 6 of us played jeu de boules for 2 hours. Very nicely decorated building with multiple courts. Staff is back on the drinks and the snacks were just okay. Didn't eat there. Great afternoon away. .

Fun to play Jeu de Boules, shuffleboard or billiards here. Very spacious 'drinks board' (the one for two people is more than enough to keep 5 people busy 😅) Staff is friendly and prompt. Price certainly reasonable

Nice concept, the course is a bit on the pricey side and the balls are indistinguishable unless you hover your nose over them.

Delicious food in a nice environment. Price a bit on the high side.

I went there twice with colleagues, and the bar itself is super cool. You can play boules all night if you want. It’s huge, and we had a great time. However, be cautious with the food, especially the croquettes and pizza. Three people from our team got sick afterwards, and the service was not great at all. I asked several times for ice on the side, but they said they couldn’t provide it. It seems to be a common issue in the Netherlands; I encountered the same problem at a bar during a convention we attended. It’s kind of disappointing.

Nice, cozy atmosphere. Delicious cocktails

Unfortunately not enough staff, but good food
