Best Restaurant: Joule

  • Post author:

Travel and Leisure Magazine has realized what we’ve known all along: Wallingford has some great eats. Their annual 50 Best New U.S. Restaurants list has given the nod to Wallingford’s Joule:

One of the city’s most disarmingly personal spots is Joule, which resembles a petite Continental café that just happens to serve both esoteric sparkling sakes and Korean kimchi. After bonding in the kitchen of Alain Ducasse in New York, Seoul-born Rachel Yang and her half-Tunisian husband Seif Chirchi moved west and opened a place of their dreams in the eclectic family-friendly Wallingford neighborhood. That’s them in the open kitchen—she adding a dollop of crème fraîche and French refinement into a hearty Korean beef soup; he garnishing an impeccably grilled dorado with a gingery sweet-sour eggplant and a pungent burst of roasted lemon and almond piccata. Dinner for two $60.

I started Wallyhood back in 2008, right when my son was born, because I realized I had lived in the neighborhood since 1993 and didn't really know my neighbors. I figured writing a blog about what was going on around me would be a good way to meet people and help other people do the same. As the years progressed, those neighbors have picked up the torch and it is now a group effort, which I adore. I moved out of Wallingford for a few years (2020 - 2025), but I'm back, now living with my wife, son and dog (Dillinger) up in Tangletown.

    As a foodie-chowhound, I hate to admit that there’s something in the Korean culinary tradition that my palette doesn’t agree with 🙁 I really WANT to like Joule. 🙁
