    I love the feel of the patio at 930 at night.  Kind of the romantic vibe that you've been missing.  Onion soup great, escargot great, boullabaise could use some work, souffle awesome.  I will report again and again as we try through the menu

    I went to this place for a brunch date.  We ordered the short rib hash, crab florentine, and cappuccino brothers.  The food was ok.  The short rib hash tasted like wild game with little flavor.  The crab florentine was good but the meat was cooked too soft and under the dripping egg became a wet soggy meal.  The cappuccino dip for the beignets has no taste resemblance of cappuccino at all.  It tastes like strong bitter orange zest just as the beignets I themselves.  Would I recommend?  Yes for the taste experience and environment.

    Great spot for brunch. The tented patio is perfect for keeping the cool air in while patrons people watch those headed to the Katy Trail.

    Fantastic mimosas. Lovely bagel and lox plate. My friends' meals were delicious as well.

    In short, great ambiance, thoughtful service, delicious food. What's not to love?

    After living la vida NOLA, I have missed the french flair in my foodie life. Alas, Toulouse fits my brunch/French flair desire! I saw they have beignets but opted for the Katy Trail omelet to satisfy my egg craving.

    I was trying to be healthy until I saw the dessert menu. It was all over after my friends and I decided to try three different delectable dishes. W.O.W. I had the profiteroles which were a tasty sweet (not too sweet) treat for a hot summer day. One of my friends had the mouse a la mode which was yummy as well. Then, oh my, THEN, I tried the Chocolate Fondant dessert a la mode my other friend ordered. Sweet heavenly day! It was DIVINE! If you like dark chocolate and have a sweet tooth, go for it!

    Can't wait to return to try the beignets (may not be NOLA but hopefully still delicious)!!!

    PS there is a wait at brunch if you get there after 11:30, but it was not too bad for us at noon (10-15 minutes)

    I loved the outside seating. Even though it was hot they manage to keep it comfortable. The food was as expected really delicious. Relaxed atmosphere in a great neighborhood.

    Love this place.  When I miss Europe and I want to feel like I'm sitting on a patio at the place du Trocadero, I come here.  It's a mini piece of Paris in the middle of Dallas!

    It is so classy and so elegant!
    Their Trout Almondine is probably my favorite...  And the desserts are simply to die for.  Order their Beignets & Coffee - it's a pure heaven.  
    I cannot wait to pay my next visit!

    I really like the atmosphere of this place and that they offer brunch, but my eggs benedict was really just not great. It made me sad cause eggs benedict everywhere else I have been was always so good! I also did not like that they used actual ham instead of canadian bacon cause the ham was just weird and the hollandaise sauce was just too lemony. My friend got the eggs florentine and that actually looked really good and much better. The only thing I liked about my meal was the champagne cocktail, which I got strawberry flavored. It was $8.50 for a tiny flute, but it was better than my meal and the only thing that made me happy. I gave this place 3 stars just cause I liked the atmosphere and the drink, but the eggs benedict was not worth it. I might come here again for dinner or something but I want to stay away from the brunch for now. The waiter was quite nice though and provided good service throughout the meal.

    Not entirely satisfied...YET. Our waiter seemed to have a good attitude and was concerned about us, but seemed a bit new, so I rated the service Good. I sensed a lot of stress among the staff, but it was a Monday.  

    The food seemed to me to be "under-executed"....by that I mean, if you are going to "Keep It Simple Stupid" with "basics" like Pomme Frites, Steak au Poivre, Mussels Meuniere, Duck Confit, etc., then DO IT BETTER than anybody. We had all these, as well as Seared Sea Scallops on Risotto, plus desserts and it was all GOOD, but we we're not "WOWed" either.  

    I'm an accomplished cook who KNOWS these simple dishes can be done better and I feel like this place could do better...the answer is NOT to change the menu and try to get more adventurous or innovative. INSTEAD, I hope the owner will look into things like ...WHY our mussels were so watery. The mollusks were fresh and tasty, but the cook messed them up somehow.

    The Confit was pretty good (TWO leg quarters were served) and the purple-husked peas/beans had some sort of pancetta or speck that gave them a very nice smoky flavor. And the prunes were excellent. But the "sauce", (which I presume was made by deglazing with Brandy and some sweetener like honey plus some grainy French mustard) did nothing for the duck and was a let down. All I tasted was alcohol, as if it should have been flamed and was not. They need to Keep everything on the Duck the same, but develop a new sauce or improve the old one.  

    The Seared Scallops were cooked properly and tasted very good, but the risotto seemed "rushed" (as if the broth was dumped in all at once, instead of gradually). The Europeans I know would have sent it back, but I'm not THAT picky. The grape tomato and basil in the risotto were fresh. The texture of the risotto is too important and needs to be looked into by the owner.  

    The creme brulee was really really good (yes you CAN screw up creme brulee and no they did not) and the fondant ("lava" cake) was good too. Oh yeah, and the Pomme Frite (supposedly their signature dish)?....the ones at Hopdaddy's are better. If I were the owner, I'd find out what they do there and copy them.  

    I kept wondered what was up in the kitchen. If I had to guess, I'd say there'd been some recent turnover or something, Or maybe the main cook doesn't have enough help, so he's rushed, The manager or owner is not being attentive enough and needs to see what's going on.....but I WILL be going back. It's MY KIND of place.... I like the kind of dishes that you'd find in a brasserie or a "better" bistro...but I expect them to be as well executed as possible. I want to see how their bouillabaisse is next time.

    First of all, let me say that the food here is probably worth another trip, but due to the horrible service I received, I will NOT be coming back.  I braved the brunch crowd to come here after specifically wantingto try the Orange French Toast for about a week.  After we were seated, it was probably about 10 minutes before a server came to get our drink order.  After she brought the drinks, I was disappointed when she informed that they were "out of french toast."  First of all, how are you out of french toast?  If you are bringing regular toast to people... you have bread.  Which means you have french toast... apparently not.   Second of all, it was only 10:00, it's not like we came at the height of the lunch rush.  I resigned myself to a Katy Trail Omelette, and my date ordered the Eggs Florentine.

    When the food came about 20 minutes later, there was only one plate.  I continued to wait for my food while my date let hers get cold.  After another 10 minutes, the waittress came back and somehow the kitchen had been able to magically rustle up some french toast.  By this time, my date's food was long cold.  I was excited to have the french toast though, so I didn't say anything and we began to eat.  I then noticed that my french toast did not come with any mascarpone cheese, which is listed on the menu.  The french toast had a great orange flavor, and was good without the cheese anyway.  I would probably come back to try it again if not for the horrible service.

    It took about half an hour to get our check, and we filled out a comment card describing our horrible service experience.  We had been to the other Lombardi restaurants like Taverna and Sangria, and have never had this problem.  We never received any contact from the establishment apologizing for the service or even acknowledging our feedback... which defeats the purpose of having comment cards.  Worst service ever, will not be returning anytime soon.

    um, delicious!!!! had an amazing brunch here. I've been wanting to try this place for awhile now. They look busy every time I pass by. I had the crab florentine. It was labeled egg florentine on the menu but they call it crab florentine. Wonderful! it was like eggs benedict with crab on top of poached eggs. Comes with asparagus instead of potato. They have inside and outdoor seating. It's covered outside seating so you won't be too hot. Fun and cute little patio for people watching. It's right next to the katy trail.

    I thought this place was really good, especially if you are yearning for some amazing French cuisine but can't afford that expensive trip to Paris. My boyfriend ordered the Braised Short Ribs, which was served over shallot marmalade, carrot baton, trumpet mushrooms, fingerling potatoes, green beans & natural au jus. I ordered the Quiche Du Jour Avec Salade and it was divine. We also ordered some Pommes Frites, which of course was amazeballs.

    The ambience of Toulouse is extremely cute, as if you were on Boulevard Saint-Germain. They even have the outside patio seating area in front of the cafe, similar to the French. Perfect for a beautiful, warm day in Dallas. The staff was pretty attentive and friendly. Parking was a little challenging, there seems to be no parking lot for Toulouse so you have to find parking on the street. Otherwise, highly recommend you try this place!

    Average French food.  Nothing too memorable, but didn't have a horrible experience either.  Also a bit pricey.  Service was a bit slow for the lunch hour.

    We went here for our anniversary. The muscles were good, and the service was decent. The lobster bisque was the worst I have ever had, and the duck was pretty bland. The ambiance was poor, with small tables crammed together and uncomfortable seating. It wasn't a terrible experience, but it wasn't worth the price,

    My boyfriend took me to this cozy French cafe for my birthday. I enjoyed being greeted in French by the host. We sat out on the patio and enjoyed a wonderful meal. The service was excellent. Our waiter was attentive and gave excellent suggestions. I had a cocktail called the Pink Planet which has Strawberry Liqueur. It was very good. My boyfriend had a glass of wine, a Merlot. For Hors D' Oevres we ordered the Vol au Vent at the waiter's suggestion. It's a puff pastry and it has mushrooms. It's addictive. We ordered seconds. For my entree I had the the Quiche which is served with a salad and my boyfriend had the Braised Short Ribs. The food is very good, the service is very good also. This is a place I definitely recommend.

    The perfect neighborhood cafe. It's got a wonderful atmosphere, and an even better waitstaff. The lobster bisque is absolutely delicious, and the Grand Marnier Soufflé is divine.

    The brimming patio, hum of conversation, friendly servers, roasted chicken and pommes frites w. mayonnaise... all took me straight back to a summer spent in Southern France and many similar dinners. Made for a perfect birthday dinner outing.

    (oh and try the French 75 - champagne, gin and lemon juice! a lovely and crisp cocktail)

    This is such a cute cafe off of Knox with a really cool patio!  I came here the other day for brunch and had a nice time on the patio.  I was able to have good conversation, delicious food, all while watching the runners on Katy Trail.

    The waffles are too dry to me; however, it could have been due to the powdered sugar that they sprinkled on top of it.  

    The scrambled eggs are really good.  I don't know what they do differently with their eggs, but I do enjoy them!

    The brunch potatoes are amazing!!  Out of all of the brunch spots I have visited in Dallas, these roasted potatoes are by far the best.

    My bf said that the eggs benedict wasn't anything to brag about....I can't agree since I didn't taste it.

    I'd love to come here for lunch or dinner one day.  I think that the brunch menu is too slim with too high of prices for what you receive.

    What comes to mind when you think french food for dinner?  Dressing up, super expensive, fancy, and must make a reservation....well at Toulouse this is not the case. This cute little restaurant is causal, homey, and no reservation needed.  This restaurant is busy, you can hear people talking, laughing, and its a comfortable setting for friends to get together and enjoy come fantastic French cuisine.  This was our first time and what a treat!

    We started our night with 2 cocktails...Rossini on the left and Hemingway Daiquiri on the right.  Oh both were so refreshing!  The Rossini had a touch of sweetness from the raspberry but still let the sparkling champagne shine through.  The Hemingway Daiquiri was slightly tart, clean, and prepped your  palate for the food.

    We then went on to our starters, lobster bisque and charcuterie maison.
    The lobster bisque was rich and velvety.  The lobster flavor came through and you get bites of lobster meat....scrumptious!

    The charcuterie maison was pretty fantastic.  The best thing on the plate was the chicken liver mousse. OMG the texture was so creamy and lush, the flavor was a punch of the livery flavor but done extremely well.  They topped the mousse with a sweet jam...*drool*  The duck prosciutto and the lomo was also done well.

    We also chose their goat cheese tart and sea diver scallops for our entree.
    The goat cheese tart was exquisite.  The puff pastry was flaky and buttery, the creamy goat cheese flavor paired extremely well with the tart and sweet tomato confit, and the basil pesto gave the tart a fresh touch.

    Our entree, the sea diver scallops was also delicious.  The tender caramelized scallops were topped with a sweet and savory bacon tomato jam, and underneath the delicate scallops was a bed of spinach with a rich sauce (resembles hollandaise).  The other part of the entree was a meyer lemon risotto which was also a surprise.  The risotto had a really good lemony scent and lemon peel accent to it, it was creamy yet very light at the same time.

    Overall another amazing experience.   The food was awesome...didn't really find any flaws.  We would rate this restaurant a 9/10 for flavor, ambiance, and preparation.

    1. Had a 5 minute wait for just the Host to take our names down. Not because there was a line, but because he was just not in the vicinity.
    2. Asked to transfer our bar tab to our table. They said they couldn't do that. But they did for the couple right after us.
    3. Sat us at a round table with a booth seat, making it an extremely awkward sitting situation for my date.
    4. The place is very nice and unique, the setting was great.
    5. Overall, terrible service but a nice place. My first experience was horrible but I'd give them another shot.

    Took my date here since she wanted something "French".

    Upon arriving, it was packed full of people and everybody seems all relaxing, chill, and having a good time.  The wait wasn't that bad but there needs to be a waiting area for people to sit if the bar is filled up.  We pretty much had to stand  where-ever we can so that we don't get in the way of people going in and out.  Once we were seated, we were ready to order since we looked at the menu online beforehand and knew exactly what we wanted.  I went for the Braised Short Ribs and my date went with the Crispy Duck Legs Confit.  The Braised short ribs were simply delicious and tender. The duck legs on the other hand were nothing special and kind of dry.  Over-all this would be a place I would come back to eat, chill, and relax with some wine.

    I think Toulouse is the closest you're going to find to a "traditional" French cafe in Dallas, and all things considered, they do a pretty good job pulling it off.  From the outdoor seating area and small, round tables with the wooden chairs to the interior decorations and small, hexagonal tile, Toulouse makes you feel (a little) as though you're actually in France.

    All of the dishes are very carefully prepared, and while each individual dish is not terribly expensive, it is very easy to end up with a somewhat shocking bill by the end if you've gone for the full experience.  By that I mean one of the appetizers (such as the Foie Gras Terrine), main dish, drinks (there's a full bar and lots of wine, of course), and dessert.

    The meal starts off with some great French bread and butter--plain yet delicious.  I found most of the other dishes to be rather simple but good as a result of the care with which they appeared to be prepared and the quality ingredients.

    The pieces of quiche are huge, and the roasted potatoes that come with many of the brunch items were surprisingly flavorful and had a nice crispiness to the outside.

    I had the Croque Madame--one of my favorite French dishes.  Overall, I liked it:  fresh, thick slices of bread; good ham and cheese; and just the right amount of Mornay sauce to top it off.  My only complaint was that the egg was a little overcooked (with the yoke partially solidified, partially liquid).

    So the food is good, the atmosphere excellent.  A great place for a low-key cafe-style lunch, classy dinner, or romantic French experience--whatever you want to make of it!

    I went to this lovely French restaurant last night for a dinner date and I was pretty impressed. I am not the most savvy French food connoisseur but I have spent time abroad so I have had my fair share. The atmosphere impressed me, it has the look and feel of an authentic cafe so they did a great job creating that.

    We ordered the mussels for an appetizer, just the classic with white wine garlic and butter, and it was pretty good. In fact the first few that we ate were amazing. Then I ran into about two in a row with pretty substantial grit and that ruined the rest for me. My date had some grit in one of hers, but she powered through it. It's too bad because the flavors were on point and they seemed very fresh. I would try them again. The good news is that was the only real disappointment of the meal.

    She had the crispy duck legs and they were so good. I wish I had ordered them instead. They were perfectly cooked and the meat fell of the bones. I had the steak, which was on special that night, and it was cooked perfectly with a great sauce.

    We also ordered creme brulee to share for dessert and it was okay, not the best. It was enjoyable though. All in all, we really enjoyed this place and will definitely be returning. Give it a shot!

    After my less than perfect visit to Boulevardier I was really looking forward to trying this place. So my wife and I went this past weekend for dinner and loved every moment of it.

    She started with a lobster bisque and I started with the mussles in the saffron broth. The bisque was not as creamy as the lobster bisque at Texas de Brazil (my favorite bisque) but it had the same intensity of lobster flavor. The mussels were great and the saffron broth was creamy with a hint of wine and I wanted more.

    For the second course we had the Foie Gras Terrine and the Escargots Toulouse. The foie was not as dense as I have had at other french establishments but was rather like a whipped pate. It wasn't as buttery rich but was still good. The escargot was the classic french preparation with loads of butter, garlic and herbs. They were fantastic. So savory and the garlic and herb notes were a nice contrast to the richness of the butter.

    For the main course I ordered the Petit Entrecote Pommes Frites. It was a nice charred steak which was medium rare on the inside as I had ordered it. It did need a bit of salt but otherwise it was a nice steak which really wasn't specifically "french". My wife had the Filet Au Poivre et Cognac which was wonderful. The creamy sauce with the hint of cognac and the light punch of the peppercorns was mouth-watering. It also came accompanied with pommes frittes.

    For the dessert course I had the Crepe Souffle which was a cloud of happyness. The crepe was paper thin and the souffle was light and airy and just sweet enough. There was not as much Grand Marnier on it as I would have liked but there was enough and with the accompanying assortment of red, blue, and black berries it was delicious. My wife had the Profiteroles which was little cream puffs filled with vanilla ice cream with little dollops of whipped cream with strawberries and chocolate sauce. It was a nice dessert but we will have to try some of the other offerings on their dessert menu on our next visit.

    During the dinner we enjoyed a nice pino noir wine and finished with coffee during dessert.

    This restaurant reminded us of our visits to Paris and sitting in the patio brought fond memories or our trips. The ambiance was casual, the service was attentive and friendly, and the noise level was manageable so we didn't have to raise our voices to have a conversation. We will try to enjoy this place at least once a month now.

    Toulouse Cafe and Bar is a people watching heaven. On the Sunday I went here for brunch it was packed. There was about a 30 minute wait so we sat at the bar and enjoyed mimosas and a bloody Mary.

    After we were seated we had the escargot. The snails were bathing in little tubs of garlic and butter. The sauce was the highlight. I thought the snails were slightly chewy and a little gritty. I had the crab florentine and my dining companion had a boring omelette. He wasn't impressed but I mean, it's eggs...what ya gonna do with that?

    My crab florentine was good but not something I'd want to eat again. The flavors didn't stand out and the toppings were cold.

    I love the ambiance and how busy it is, seeing all the dressed up women and old gentleman was great. I'd dine here again but probably not for brunch.

    I came here for my surprise birthday dinner.

    I love France and stripes so my friend asked my guests to wear stripes. :)
    The place was great; it had a patio area with tables to people watch (just like in France) and the decor reminded me of being in France!
    All the food was pretty good.
    I had the Roasted Scottish Salmon with Caramelized Brussel Sprouts, Carrots,
    Lardons, Fingerling Potatoes and Lemon-Chive Beurre Blanc (with a side of Ratatouille). I wouldn't say it was out of this world, but it was good. One of my friends had the Lobster Bisque which she loved. The portion sizes were pretty big, so unless you're hungry, I would just get a dish (she ordered the bisque AND salad).

    I really REALLY wanted to try the desserts, but my sweet friend baked a cake for me, so sadly I could not. But there's always next time!

    This was our first time to Toulouse. The atmosphere is nice. Great to people watch off the Katy trail if u like that. Good looking crowd inside too.

    The menu had lots of yummy and unique dishes. We had the calamari, cheese bread, filet and half roasted chicken. All excellent--well prepared and presented perfectly. No baby portions here either.

    My only complaint is that this place is a higher end spot. I expect an interactive experience w our wait staff. Since it was our first time we were looking for recommendations about menu items. The guy we had was no help at all. We asked him for a wine recommendation and got back nothing. We asked about the menu items. We got nothing. He was an order taker and not a very attentive waiter all the way around.. Sad that something like that can negatively affect the whole experience

    Anyway, it is worth a second chance!

    Food: first time I ate here was for brunch- the Eggs benedict was fairly good but overall this wasn't a stand-out from the many places to brunch in Dallas. BUT the second time I ordered from the lunch menu and tried the veggie sandwich- I know, sounds pretty "blah" but it was sooo good! Great menu variety and coffee!

    Atmosphere & Service: Nice Parisian atmosphere with decent but not great service. The manager actually ignored me the first couple of times I approached the hostess stand (he was acting as hostess) to ask about our reservation. And it gets VERY crowded and loud during Sunday brunch. If you are going with a group, a reservation is highly recommended to avoid a long wait (versus the short wait even with a reservation ha)

    Parking: street and valet, but street is actually probably just as easy as valet

    Bottom line: good brunch, fabulous lunch, mediocre service, loud and crowded

    This was the spot that I had bookmarked for my birthday lunch in Dallas. Why this spot you ask? I wanted to get my foie gras on since California is being a bizznatch about it and we can no longer enjoy this delicacy here anymore.

    The SBBF and I stopped in here early on Saturday afternoon (Aug 18), and it was pretty damn packed but there were still a few tables open in their covered patio so we got seated right away.

    So back to my foie gras dealio, the only item they had on their menu with foie gras was their Foie Gras Terrine which is pretty much a pate on some bread, which is what I totally didn't want. I wanted to experience a nice seared piece of foie gras. So I ended up getting the Goat Cheese Tarte as my hor d'oeuvre. It came out pretty damn quick too. The puff pastry that they made this tarte with was amaze balls and everything on it (tomato confit, organic arugula, basil pesto) tasted very fresh, like picked out of a garden.

    For my entree I ordered the Duck Leg Confit which sat on some delicious green peas, carrots and sauteed shallots. There was also this amazing honey sauce drizzled all over it. It was my first time having Duck confit and I quite enjoyed the butteryness of it. The meat literally melted off the bone. The only thing though, it was damn SALTY. Haha, I mean...too salty for my taste but still edible enough for me to lick the plate clean. Yep, foodie girl problems right here.

    I didn't want to stay for dessert since my experience with the first 2 courses kinda felt a little too pretentious and just A-OK in presentation and flavor.

    Most likely, not a spot I'd return to if we're ever back in Dallas. Probably better to hit up one of the local hole-in-the-wall BBQ joints for some damn good eats.

    French (sort of) restaurant on the Katy trail - although on the edge of Highland Park, it is friendly to those in workout clothes, and to dogs. Our friends said this place only takes reservations for tables of six - weird; apparently it gets busy at high time.

    Recently late-lunched there on a Sunday with some friends: Crab Florentine was good; not amazing. Crabmeat was of good quality, poached eggs were not that hot, sauce was at the end of the brunch hours, and was showing it. My home fries were just right - crusty on the outside, soft and hot on the inside.

    My wife and another person loved the nicoise salad - the caperberries and seared tuna endeared it to me. The side of bacon someone ordered was very good - when's the last time I got excited about a side of bacon? Never.

    Oh - the beignets. Wow. Yum. Mouth watering in remembrance of them. Served in an exciting conical vase in paper, they come with hot chocolate sauce. Blow your mind.

    Bloody Mary was average.

    Eh.

    I really expected 'out-of-this-world' french food.

    It's passable, not memorable. I ordered mussels, they tasted fishy, and the broth was under-seasoned even though I ordered the Thai one that should have had an explosion of coconut and lemongrass.

    I ordered the goat cheese tart as an app, and again, wasn't particularly wooed by anything on my palate.

    Had I known, I probably would have elected a different place for a big birthday dinner. Oh well, there's always next year!

    Okay, I'll give this place some break for the decor and the atmosphere.

    However, the entrees are really nothing to brag about. I mean they're good, but there is no wow factor.

    We got appetizers, entree, and dessert. And I have to say that this place is perfect for appetizers and drinks, but not so much for a full out dinner. I really did enjoy the appetizers, but that was the only thing I liked about this place.

    Tried Toulouse for the first time Saturday night. Cute little restaurant right on the Katy Trail. We arrived shortly after 6, found a parking spot on the street (otherwise there is a $5 valet fee), and didn't wait at all for a table.

    The food was very good and the service was attentive. My husband started with the lobster bisque, which was smooth and creamy. I had the foie gras, which was comparable to foie gras I've had in Paris (insanely good). Obviously I shared a little with the hubs, although I ate most of it myself, and I don't plan to ever find out how many grams of fat are in one serving of that rich deliciousness.

    I had duck leg confit as an entree and the portion was quite large. The duck legs were cooked very nicely and served over peas/carrots/shallots with a small side of frisee salad. The duck was a little on the salty side, which is what lost this place a star for me. It wasn't so over-salted that I couldn't eat it, but the salt was quite noticeable and I had to drink a LOT of water with this dish. My husband ordered the fish special; snapper on a bed of saffron risotto. His portion was quite large as well. He seemed to enjoy it; I didn't taste any of it because I was too busy with my duck.

    We ordered a chocolate souffle to share for dessert. YUM! Comparable to the souffles we've had at Rise. Nice and creamy and molten on the inside, with those last few piping hot bites at the bottom just soaked in chocolate sauce. I don't know why you would order anything else for dessert when a souffle like that is available.

    For the three courses above and NO alcohol for either of us, the bill was over $100 with tip, so this place can be pricey. You could get out for less without the foie gras (which was $18, obvi steep for an appetizer), but why would you? It was the best savory thing I ate all night.

    Absolutely delightful!  Anniversary dinner here on July 4th, when many restaurants are just closed.  

    I am still dreaming of the bouillabaisse, and can't wait to go back.  My husband had a steak and didn't even share.  (That's saying something...)  Decent wine list, wonderful bread and the service was very friendly and helpful.  And the cheese plate is on the dessert menu, where it should be.  (Ok, it's also on the apps if you're so inclined.)  This is one of my new favorites.  

    Note:  They only take reservations for parties of 6 or more, but it wasn't crowded when we went.  Would be worth the wait if there was one.  Go & enjoy!

    This might be my favorite restaurant. I love the feel of Toulouse. If you have enough French 75's, you might forget you're in Dallas.

    The Bouillabaisse is still my favorite dish, although I've had a taste of almost everything on the menu. The Mussels Mariniere and pomme frites are great. But what really gets me, is that the Fois Gras is better here, than at the Trianon Palace at Versailles in France.

    It's a little bit of France here in Dallas. Customer Service is excellent. You have to experience it for yourself.
