Got there while it was packed. It was a beautiful day out and we wanted to sit outside. The hostess told us there was a 20 minute wait to our disappointment. The manager ended up finding us a table. It was so nice. The service was good and the food was excellent. Was with a French person and she loved how great the flavors and food there was. Will definitely be coming back. Got the beet salad, cheese plate and charcuterie board. All were pretty authentic in their approach and flavors. Even the baguettes got rave reviews from my guest.
Mussels, Escargot, Lamb Shank, Souffle What a great spot! Lovely french restaurant, we sat on the covered patio area. Servers super efficient. The mussels and escargot were some of the best I've had--so large and tender and seasoned well! The mains I did not find as exciting--the lamb shank and the fish we ordered were good but nothing life-changing. I'm definitely not a souffle person, but this wasn't bad!
I highly recommend the brunch at Toulouse. We sat on the patio and enjoyed a nice morning with views of Knox Henderson. We got the quiche and avocado toast and found both to be very high quality for the price point. I hope to come back for brunch again and to try their other opportunities. Update: We later came back for brunch again and got the steak frites and la petite boulangerie which were phenomenal.
Beautiful Valentine Breakfast. Our favorite. We Love You All. Food and Service are just the best. Love the wine and cocktails.
My wife and I always go out for a Special Christmas Dinner every years and we always make it a new place to us and try to make it unique. This year I asked a good friend of mine what place she would recommend and she immediately said Toulouse - it was her favorite restaurant in Dallas. That was enough said for me so I made reservations and my first impression was made at the bar while we were waiting for our table when the young bartender made for me the PERFECT Old Fashioned, not many bartenders today know how to make those !!! Then we were seated and Edwardo took perfect care of use from the mussel appetizers to my wife's trout, to my lobster. The restaurant was absolutely beautiful inside was well. Trust me we will return many more times. Interesting, I was waiting outside for my wife when we left and an older gentleman walked up to me and we started talking, he said he was from that area originally - he said he had seen it change a lot through the years, he said Toulouse was originally an Ice Cream Shop that he use to go to , he would get an ice cream cone several times a week. He said the area had changed a lot, he said some good, some bad, but he was glad that Toulouse was there, he said he eats there often and is glad they are keep the original building as it was. For some reason this posted as a Brunch Review - it should have posted as a Dinner Review!!
We are regular here, their foods and services are excellent. Managers and servers are very nice. The atmosphere is cozy and elegant at the same time.
My friend and I topped in for a late lunch. The service was excellent from the host moving us from a 2-top to a 4-top so my client with a cane would be more comfortable. The waiter was very attentive to all of our needs and made very good recommendations. The food was delicious. Starting with a split Salad Niçoise, my friend had the Bouillabaisse, and I had the Trout Amandine...both outstanding. With a tall ceiling, lots of dark wood, and a French-inspired bistro patio, it would also make for a terrific date night venue.
A very nice French restaurant. We ordered the muscles, devilled eggs, trout dip and crème brûlée! The muscles are really good and I do recommend it for seafood lovers. Pair it with some wine and you're good to go! The devilled eggs was just okay. Not something I'd order again. The trout dip is good to share but underwhelming. The crème brûlée is amazing! I really love it! We sat at the patio and it was nice! Customer service was great and I can't wait to come back soon!
I met a girlfriend here for brunch on a Saturday and the restaurant was so busy! I made a reservation on line and I'm so glad that I did. I ordered a Bloody Mary to sip on while I waited for my friend to arrive. It was good and made well. For entrees, I ordered the quiche of the day and she ordered the beet salad. We both enjoyed our meals and the warm bread and butter that came before that as well. Our service was decent but you could tell that all of the servers were busting it and trying to flip tables quickly. It is pretty pricey for brunch but we enjoyed our time here.
Came here for brunch today, and was absolutely top notch. Enjoyed the French food- we had escargots as an appetizer, and they were very yummy and buttery. Pro tip: hold on to the plate and use the escargot sauce as a dip for the warm bread. So good! I had a Chanel No. 6 and my friend had the espresso martini, both great. The Chanel No. 6 is like a hyped up mimosa cocktail, champagne with vodka, chambord, and juice added in. I reco the eggs benedict with short rib, loved it. Quiche comes highly recommended by the staff also, but I found it quite heavy & large. Great if you're super hungry! I ordered the asparagus as a side, it came as four stalks... but was dressed very well, and also filling. The ambiance is classy (French), but came in jeans and did not feel underdressed. Service was friendly and prompt, no complaints. Overall a stellar brunch at Toulouse!
