The food, atmosphere and atmosphere is incredible! The pasta and shrimp were cooked well and it was an excellent choice from their specials which change every two weeks or so. I also recommend the bread basket because the garlic butter is to die for!I recommend reservations as the space is a bit small. Also when we went there was no AC so highly recommend dressing appropriately if it’s a warm day.
4.5 Stars if Google would allow it.Tailleur has been on my list for sometime now. We don't live close enough to the area so when we had the opportunity to stay downtown for a fun evening out we made reservations.We love the Russel so we knew would love it here also.From the second we walked in we were greated by a lovely man that explained the atmosphere and decor to us as well and pulled out a table and chairs so my wife could have a seat. That is un-heard of these days in a reaturant. Our waiter was newly employed, but extremely eager to learn and explain things to us. My wife had the summer special salad and I had the rice and bean burger. Both of which we very good. The dessert menu is large and on display front and center which is nice!We loved every single inch of Tailleur and it reminds us of our our own home. The only very small criticism I would give is that the drink menu is limited as they don't have a full bar. That might be by design so that is hard to be upset about when the food, staff, decor, snd atmosphere are perfect.We will be back for sure! Keep it up!
You can tell the ownership put a lot of time and effort into curating a good atmosphere for an upscale restaurant. On the night of our visit, the AC in the restaurant was not operable, which was not ideal. I will say many restaurants we visited on this trip we’re also having similar AC problems, so we were accustomed to the heat.The food itself was pretty good, best thing that we ordered was the rack of lamb. The French dip sandwich was good overall as was the burger. For as nice as the atmosphere was inside, the food seemed to not quite meet the same level.Our waitress was very nice, but you could tell she was flustered by working in the heat (with no AC) throughout her shift. Got off to a bit of a rocky start, but she did well overall. I would recommend this place as a solid local spot, but since we don’t live in the area we’d probably go elsewhere next time we’re in town.
Yes, I adored this classy French restaurant. It’s not snobby. It’s got a friendly vibe. All ages come to dine. You can spend a little or a lot and it’s all delicious and nicely seasoned! Nice wine list.Two levels. Upstairs and downstairs as well as outdoor seating which was fabulous on the day we went. The weather was perfect.Service is great. Wait staff are friendly and make great suggestions!Highly recommend!!
Nice atmosphere. Food was good but I wouldn’t say exceptional. I ordered the salmon with polenta which I enjoyed. My mother ordered the steak, there was a sweet taste which I didn’t mind but my mother wasn’t a fan of. Wouldn’t consider it to be one of my favourite places but I would definitely go back for drinks and something to munch on while catching up with people.
Awesome French brasserie good vibe, location on new streetcar line will be perfect. Nice back door patio, Parking behind restaurant.
We had a large group for lunch. We were seated at 2 tables and one table was served much faster than the other. Having said that the food was amazing! The ambiance was cozy with so many things on the walls to see. Super fun visually. We all ordered different things and everyone loved their meals. We had fish, quiche, soup, salads, sandwiches and dessert.....oh the dessert...save room, worth every bite!
The restaurant is gorgeous with an upscale antique vibe. There were many antique fashion items around the store which thrilled me. The service was great with the waitress providing excellent suggestions.For our drinks we got Earl Grey Collins cocktail (14) which was fenomenal. I honestly almost cried when I first tried it. It was very smooth and while I couldn't taste the vodka you could definitely feel it's effects. My partner tried a glass of a white sparkling wine (10).For our appetizers we got the tomato bisque (8) which was also very good (this business is owned by the same people as own the Russel). The soup was cheesy and creamy. We also got their bread with garlic butter (8) the bread was soft and fluffy.For our entrees we got croque monsieur which was a very fancy ham and cheese (19). It came with a side salad that even my salad hating partner liked. I got the bistro burger (19) which was one of the most tender burgers I have ever had in my life. It was like biting through butter. The frites were very good but fries in general are not my thing.For dessert we tried their 3 for 22 deal. We got the lime tart, bread pudding, and chocolate flour less cake. The lime tart was lovely. The bread pudding was fine but not as flavorful as the other desserts. My partner liked the chocolate cake and said that it almost has the texture of a pudding instead of a cake. These desserts were all full sized meaning we got plenty to take home.All of the portions were large and we took lots of food home.Everything was great for a fine dining experience but that comes with the higher price tag. With the bill being over $100 for two people. For a nice dinner I recommend Tailluer but it will cost quite a bit but honestly it was all worth the price and the portions were great.
Best food, atmosphere, and staff. Would come here again and again and recommend to anyone I know. The whole dining experience was wonderful and the staff was amazing!
Tailleur made me do it, y'all. This is my first review ever but I had to because we went to church last night. My friend and I visited Tailleur for dinner (+ we were able to secure a reservation the same night, eyy). We started with their house bread... lord, let me tell you about this BREAD.. so warm, so doughy (but not gummy at all)..I would eat it every day of my life and never get bored + it comes with a poppin' garlic butter. Anyway...my friend ordered the pork shank w/ polenta (pictured below) and I ordered the salmon w/ polenta (that polenta was so creamy, comforting + the perfect base for both the meals). We also ordered dessert: the lemon tart and bread pudding (pictured below). It is very important that you leave room for the the bread pudding dessert, specifically. It is served warm with a salted caramel glaze - my mouth is watering just thinking about it. **here's where it gets existential** This food had me questioning my external reality. It's been a long time since I've felt this present with my food, sitting with the flavors and really experiencing every bite. I was so tapped into all of my senses, I savored every moment *end existential rant.* And this is all regarding the food, there is so much to say about the physical space that brings the experience together. It is dark + cozy, the service is fantastic (shouts to our server who brought my friend the LARGEST slice of bread pudding; I can't remember their name but they were great). I promise I'll stop now. Do yourself a favor and just. go.
