    Lobster Risotto
    Silvia H.

    Always wanted to stop in during a walk on the Katy, and I'm so glad we did! Wait staff was attentively committed to topping off our beverages on such a hot day and never failed to check-in with us periodically throughout our visit. We enjoyed the savory sweetness of the mushroom garlic pear pairings with the nutty Brie goodness. Minor critique would be lack of salt to bring out the richness in our entrees. Nothing a gold ole' salt and pepper shaker at the table couldn't fix. I'd be interested to see other non-alcoholic beverage options other than water/tea. We hope to drop in soon to give another French dish a try.

    Toulouse is such a gem with major Parisienne vibes right in the heart of Knox-Henderson. Definitely recommend for brunch (and maybe walk ot off on Katy Trail afterwards). On a recent visit, I had the crab Benedict, zucchini chips, and chocolate mousse. Everything was good but the mousse was AMAZING. Definitely recommend getting this! My Benedict was ok, but had quite a few bits of shell and was a little lukewarm. I would have sent it back but I was so hungry! The zucchini chips could have used a little hit of salt and they would have been perfect. Seating is a little cramped during peak hours but you can get in some great people watching from the patio. Service was standard and our waiter was friendly. I feel like it's just one of those Dallas brunch standards that you must hit up at some point. Very cutesy for an afternoon with your girls!

    Toulouse Cafe in Dallas has been a staple in the Knox Henderson neighborhood for over 20 years. They're as consistent of a French bistro as you'll find anywhere. The service is amazing and the quality of the food and cocktails are always solid. We're lucky to have them. We visited a few weeks ago for a holiday lunch. The weather was insanely warm so this French 77 in the first photo is taken on the patio in 76 degree temps on December 26. It was fantastic alongside our afternoon snacks. The French 77 is a delicious champagne cocktail using gin, St. Germain (elderflower liqueur), fresh raspberry, and fresh lemon. It's a perfect way to kickoff an afternoon or evening coupled with wonderful classic French fare. I didn't take additional photos of the bar this trip but will make the effort next time. I thought this cocktail shot warranted me posting. Go check out the amazing folks at Toulouse. Salute. @thejohnnycocktail French 77 Gin St Germaine Raspberry Lemon Champagne

    Stopped in for lunch after a refreshing walk down the Katy Trail, and the location couldn't be more convenient, just steps off the trail on Knox. The restaurant offers both indoor and outdoor seating, and we were greeted warmly and seated right away. Service was prompt and efficient throughout our visit. They started us off with bread and butter, which was a nice touch. I ordered the Trout Almondine. It was well-presented and tasted good, but the portion left much to be desired - the fish was sliced as thinly as possible. At $29, it felt overpriced for what was delivered. The ambiance, however, was vibrant and cozy, making it an enjoyable spot overall.

    How do he manage ghty have fallen. I've come here at least 4x per year. My bad for now posting hoe much I've always loved it. Tonight was quite Granted it's been a while. But the entire staff has changed. Still warm bread and butter but I had to ask for it. Escargot to start. Steak frittes steak was grizzly and fries just warm. Sad I won't want to come back

    Tuna Tartar
    Lauren G.

    If you're looking for the perfect spot for breakfast or brunch, this is definitely the place to go. It's located right next to the Katy Trail, so you can take a walk and enjoy the scenery after your meal. When the weather is nice, sitting outside makes the experience even better. I've been coming here since 2020, and it still continues to exceed my expectations every time. The tuna tartar is the perfect appetizer, and the French 77 is a great cocktail to pair with your meal. This visit, I tried the trout almondine and really enjoyed how well the almonds complemented the dish. Overall, it's always a great experience here.

    Cane across this restaurant at Legacy West while we walked along the strip. Great service and foods. There was a performer that made the ambiance really nice. We had the escargot, lobster bisque, steak and seafood entree. Everything was super yummy.

    Burger and fries
    Maggie L.

    our muscles and fries were absolutely perfect. Only wish it had a bit more garlic, well more than a bit more garlic! Our server, Jon was above excellent. Can't wait to return.

    I adored this meal. We shared a ton of dishes and I was floored by how exceptional the bouillabaise was! The flavors were beyond compare and the fish was so tender. The lamb chops were great too!

    Ceviche and escargot

    I'm giving this review four stars only because it took about 10-15 minutes to get served despite our reservation. Other than the lack of attention the ambiance was fantastic. Love the posh urban feel. The music added a great touch to the atmosphere. The food was great. Quick tip for anyone who has never tried new cuisine, you must be cultured and willing to trying new entrees. This was a great to celebrate my wife and I anniversary.

    Toulouse is the little gem we like to visit at least 2 or more times in a month ( I miss living in this neighborhood!! A late afternoon lunch on the covered patio just feels right outside but still covered. This time I decided to get the oysters Rockefeller and the Mac n cheese !!2 appetizers for lunch and yes I left full and satisfied..The complimentary bread and fresh butter is always a treat .( I'm not a bread or butter person but I am when I dine here! Always w a glass of prosecco!! Service is always very attentive and extremely professional... and remember to order the soufflé( Gran Marnier) ahead of time or go ahead order afterwards it's definitely worth the extra 15-20 minutes cook time . Your taste buds will definitely appreciate the intense mastery to deliver and serve such an amazing dessert to complete another next level dining experience ...OH NO!!! I've been going on about that FAAAABULOUS .. soufflé .. I definitely have to give a shout out to the Steak Frites !!!! I'm not much of a red meat eater ..,ouch Just put my finger. Thinking about the Bernie sauce, SO YUM YUM YUMMM YA! And apparently their French fries are cut, seasoned, fried to pure perfection.. I've been told that if the potatoes aren't cut correctly.. then you just have ordinary fries.... The French got it poppin.. 2026

    Quiche of The Day
    Alan R.

    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.

We were quickly shown to our seats and immediately brought waters and bread. We each had two cocktails from their booklet menu and they were delicious! You have to order every course at the same time so we were given some time to look over the menu before ordering. We started with the Escargots Bourguignon and the Shrimp St Martins. The sauce that the shrimp was sitting in was TO DIE FOR. The escargot came in a sauce as well but the shrimp sauce was so good I was dipping the escargot in the shrimp sauce! Then out came the Champagne Brie soup- it was my favorite thing I had. I could've easily licked my bowl clean. For the entree I had the Rack of Lamb and my partner had the Seared Sea Bass. We both honestly weren't impressed by either. They were just good, not great. It probably didn't help that we had waited too long for our entrees. Unfortunately, our entire dining experience lasted 2 hours. I appreciate a nice meal that's not rushed... but the time between courses was honestly ridiculous. I'm not sure if it was just this particular night that the kitchen was slow but then again it was a Wednesday night... I'd hate to see a weekend night.

I want to start by saying the food was absolutely amazing, and our servers were exceptional. They were kind, attentive, and truly helped make the day special. Unfortunately, I cannot say the same about the manager, Lisa. Throughout our shower, Lisa repeatedly came into our area and stood watching our group. We felt constantly monitored. If a guest briefly set a purse on a nearby table while hugging or greeting someone, Lisa was immediately there telling us it had to be moved because it was not one of our tables. When I looked through our photographs afterward, I realized she was even standing in the background of numerous pictures because she was around our party so frequently. Toward the end of the shower, Lisa approached me in front of other customers and told us we needed to quiet down, that we only had a two hour time slot, and that it was "time to wrap it up." We were not a rowdy or disrespectful group. We were women celebrating a bride. We were eating, opening gifts, playing bridal shower games, laughing, clapping, and enjoying a very special occasion. What really confirmed for me that her behavior was inappropriate was having restaurant patrons who were not even part of our party approach me afterward to say they witnessed how Lisa spoke to me and thought she was incredibly rude. I eventually had to tell Lisa to bring it down a notch and that I was not going to allow her to ruin my daughter's special day. It is such a shame because everything else was wonderful. The food was phenomenal, our servers were amazing, and the restaurant was beautiful. Lisa's behavior was the one negative part of an otherwise beautiful celebration, but unfortunately, it was significant enough that I felt it needed to be shared.

The good: - Not busy - Server Caleb is quite pleasant - Scrambled eggs and breakfast potatoes were tasty - Yogurt Parfait was tasty but way too big. It was served in a large bowl. Way overkill. The not so great: - My wife's meal took over an hour to come out. Ordered just after 10 am and came out at 11:08 am - The Croque Madam needs to be removed from the menu. A French person would have been horrified at this dish In summary over three meals in the last 30 days, the food is hit and miss and the Kitchen is very slow. I love the location but I'm not sure we'll come back to eat at Toussaint. ---------- We mostly enjoyed our meals here. This review is for two visits that we've made here in the last 30 days. Our first visit here was on May 9, following an afternoon concert up the block at the Majestic Theatre. We popped in here about 5:30 pm and we shared a meal. They were able to do a kitchen split of the French dip meal. It was really tasty. The bartender worked the bar and the entire dining room. Must have been short handed that night but he did great. This weekend (May 29), we ended up staying at the Saint Elm Hotel which occupies the same building. We ended up at the Toussaint for dinner one night. We each had the French Onion Soup and we shared the Braised Short Rib dinner. The French Onion Soup was very good. It's in my top 3 of all time! The Braised Short Rib dinner - kitchen split, came out and presented great. Unfortunately, it was not served hot. It was barely warm. We sent it back for reheating. It came back out about 15 minutes later. The mashed potatoes, mushroom and gravy were warm. The short rib was not. We ate it cool anyway as we had a show to get to and I didn't really want to send it back again. That said, the potatoes, mushrooms and gravy had great flavor. The above all said for this dinner - I'd still come back to try other dinner dishes. Not sure my wife would agree.

The wait staff is wonderful. They seem to anticipate your every wish.

    Oh man... what a let down this visit was for us…read more My wife and I have come here at least once a year for the past 3 years, and we've always loved this place. The food has always been great and the experience was something we looked forward to. That's why we chose to celebrate an early Valentine's Day here -- to avoid the crazy rush and the preset menu. But this time? Completely different experience. We got seated right away because of our reservation, which was great. It took a few minutes for the waiter to come by -- no big deal. I ordered an Old Fashioned and honestly... the bartender needs some help. It came out full of crushed ice and tasted watered down. I sent it back, and the second one was basically the same drink with more whiskey thrown in. At that point, I just let it go. Then things just kept going downhill. After about 20 minutes, we realized we hadn't gotten any bread. We asked the waiter and he said he'd check. Another 10 minutes go by and he comes back saying, "Still no bread," and drops off the wrong appetizer -- we had only ordered a salad. He takes it back, and it's another 15 minutes before our actual salad shows up. Still no bread. At one point, we could literally see him arguing with someone in the back about why we didn't get bread yet. Not exactly something you want to watch during a date night. The food, when it finally came out, was delicious. No complaints there. But it took forever. By the time we were eating, it was about 45 minutes until closing... and we had gotten there two hours earlier. Then comes the payment situation. The waiter brings the check back and casually tells me I gave him two credit cards and he "just picked the brighter one." I look down and he had handed me someone else's credit card while mine was still sitting in the book. That's not a small mistake. Overall, it just felt unorganized and sloppy this time. I don't know if they're short staffed or just getting too busy for their own good, but it was disappointing, especially for a place we've genuinely enjoyed in the past. Hoping it was just an off night... but it definitely made us think twice about coming back.
