Reviews of Bistro Toulouse (Restaurant)

Morgan Foote

Love this place!! It’s small and intimate and has a great energy. Great food, wines, desserts and service. Had Stella as my server both times and she makes the experience even better...definitely recommend for celebrating events, date nights or for those times you want a nice dinner but want to do something different.

A must visit place for French cuisine. Stella, our server, was very attentive and knowledgeable, helped us pick out some yummy plates. I enjoyed the steamed mussels while my men had the steak and frites. Try the French Blonde cocktail. It is smooth with a touch of grapefruit. Delicious.

Joe Larson

Very good food. We had brunch, with a nice charcuterie to start. The selection of meat and cheeses were exceptional. We finished our meal by splitting a fruit crepe, which was as good as any in Paris. Highly recommend.

Rebecca Bowers

Very nice little French Bistro. The food was prepared well and the service was great! Stella was very helpful and attentive.

Dennis McLendon

Great food, varied menu, friendly! Love the place. Unassuming from outside... But really good French food!

Gail Pritikin

Just had a lovely lunch here. The food was very good, however the wait was a little long once we ordered. I would recommend it if you're not on a hurry.

Graeme Hutcheon

Very much enjoyed the cassoulet

Alex M

Good selection of wine and food

Kevin Nofsinger

Very good, great attentive staff, and independently owned!

Jennifer Russell

What a cool little place! Location would seem to take away from the French Cafe feel, but once you're in, it's pure bistro! Awesome brunch, can't wait to go for dinner!

Howard Nicklas

The food was average and the service not up to par.

Tom & Jolene McGovern

Stunningly excellent food and service.

SARAH EARLE

This hidden gem made for an incredible evening. We actually enjoyed a three course meal and decided to first order a chacuterie and cheese plate which was amazing. Unique cheeses, meats, mustards, cornichons, honey with comb, and fresh pate (of course you can choose your own variety). Our server, Anne, helped make it a memorable evening. I had never had orange-vanilla souffle and it was a perfect end to an evening of cuisine and wine. Can't wait to go back!

Mike Bador

The food is soooo good. Will go back.

Ying

Great experience at this hidden gem! We went for Charleston restaurant week and ordered a mix of the restaurant week items and menu items. We had the cheese plate, escargot, mussels, two entrees (forgot the names, and lavender creme brulee. We especially loved the creme brulee and mussels, but enjoyed all of it. The waitress we got was not as knowledgeable as well would have liked, but we were still able to enjoy the experience.

Richard Kaplan

The food was amazing and was matched by the service. I would go back.

Halim Seyalioglu

Great duck breast.

Vanessa Hamilton

Loved it

Aly Collum

This place is basically perfect. Dinner, lunch, brunch - I have never had a bad meal here. Service is warm and professional. When you walk inside, you completely forget that you're in the Sea Island Shopping Center. Everything is very fresh and so clearly made with care. It seems like a new restaurant opens every week in Mt P; my husband and I used to love trying them all out. Lately, though, when we have some time to our selves, we skip all the novelty and wind up back at the Bistro. I can't recommend this place enough.

Barbara Claypoole

Bistro Toulouse is wonderful. Quite, very French. I have never had a bad meal there. Service is great and it is not downtown with lots of parking!

Sudhir Prabhu

This fine neighborhood bistro is located in a strip mall serves creative & flavorful French cuisine using fresh. Presentation of dishes very inviting. Service is excellent but not intrusive. Noise level was moderate. Good wine selection. Excellent mussels & frites, grilled octopus, escargots, onion soup, bouillabaisse, fresh fish & ratatouille.

Jessica Ryan

It was nice enough, food was good. Maybe not worth the $150 spent, but I'm not mad about it.

mary perry

Nice

Margaret von Werssowetz

Lovely spot for lunch or supper. Friendly and well priced.

Richard Wells

Best kept secret in Mount Pleasant- highly skilled staff and food that is best in Mt. P. Near our house and my wife and I go here for special occasions.

Michael Silver

Had the octopus appetizer and Bouillabaisse. Both were fantastic. I highly recommend.

Pete S

food was ok. nothing special

C Faulk

Best S.C. French

Bill Marler

Delicious

Kathy Richardson

Cute interior- don't be scared of by the location! Our server was nice, the food was good. French onion soup, escarot, and soufflé were delightful. The cassoulet was good, but would have leveled up slightly with maybe fresh parsley for herbiness or lemon for some acid. Steak frite steak was good, but fries weren't anything special. Mussels on the table next to us looked great and I'd be willing to try that next time and get soufflé for dessert again.

Jessica Sheldon

Hands down the best French food in Charleston/Mount Pleasant. I have been coming here for years and it always suprises me. The most recent trip was my bridal luncheon. They handled our large group with no problem and I was told by everyone how good the food was. I recommend this place for good food, great service and a great time.

Muffi Brinson

Happy hour not very happy. Actually very expensive. I thought the reason for happy hour is to be able to try a new place and get a decent deal at the same time, not here. The charcuterie plate teeny tiny. Just not impressed at all. Will not go back.

Elizabeth Heck

The reviews are true! This is certainly a rare find with fantastic selections of high cuisine in the midst of a grocery store strip mall. The wait staff was friendly and welcoming. The ambiance reflects a European feel, including dim lighting. The food was certainly foreign, but still very accessible for all palates. I was honestly skeptical but adventurous. Instead I was thoroughly comfortable and satisfied!!

Ella Smalls

Didn't work for me

Meghan Carr

Always delicious and amazing bartender! Go.

Suzie Wilson

The best French food around, with a very knowledgeable team. This place never disappoints!

Edward Darden

Very personable service. Eggs Benedict needed more bechamel sauce.

susan mack

The food was bland, dry, etc. Not the normal wonderful dinner.

Donald D Thomas

Great French food, a bit on the high side. The atmosphere is good. Your have to try the lavender creme brulee.

Alan Od

Manager told me coq au vin didn't necessary mean a wine sauce. Coq au vin literally translates to chicken in wine. What was served to me looked and tasted like progreso chicken soup(egg noodle, carrots and all). Was heartbroken with how bad the food was. Staff was freindly, cheese plate was reasonably priced and Creme brulee was technically fine. Everything was was poor.

Lou Pran

Very good French cuisine

Alan Strozier

Delicious French cuisine. Great job!

Debra McClung

Highly reccommend!! Had a delicious Anniversary there last evening and the best duck and grouper every! Also, they honored our gift certificate from 3 years ago. So amicable! Great Service, smiles, and French Cuisine, who could want more!

Stephen Welk

Love authentically prepared cuisine. We go to this outstanding restaurant for lunch & dinner. This is our go to restaurant for Christmas Eve dinner.

Jennifer J. Grove

Went during restaurant week and they did not disappoint. The food was amazing and the staff was on point.

Mia Bingenheimer

Never disappoints!

Joyce Becwar

Stopped in for dessert and coffee. Pistachio cake was dry, lavendar creme brulee a little heavy handed. Coffee was nothing special. Both the hostess and waiter were rude. I guess they thought they were in Paris instead of a strip mall in Mt. Pleasant.

Darren Gilbert

Fantastic Chef owned French Bistro. High quality made from scratch food and desserts. The Cassoulet is incredible!

Mark Leposkyu\

Outstanding food. I enjoyed escargot, a divine consumee, and an herbed chicken with a savory au jus.

Chloe Healy

Great service and delicious French food!!

KlinkKlangBoom's Of Flavors

Great place

Tiffany Jonas

We just celebrated my birthday weekend tonight at one of our favorites, Bistro Toulouse - and holy cow, did they ever hit it out of the park! One of the best meals we ever had in a restaurant anywhere, and we are not kidding. The mussels were plump, the wine was great, but most of all, Patrick's steak & frites with béarnaise sauce was incredible and my catch of the day (flounder with a carrot-ginger puree and beurre blanc / white butter sauce) was *amazing* - and of course our server Anne was as gracious and helpful as ever! Thank you Bistro Toulouse for a *delicious* dinner

Robert Kolakowski

What a nice job they do here, excellent food and accomodating staff. You can't ask for more from a neighborhood restaurant.

Joel Campbell

The grilled octopus appetizer was very good. For entrées we had the bouillabaisse and the duck. Both were delicious. The service was very good as well.

Bruce Olson

Brunch was awesome

Shirley Betchman

Super‼️

Natanya Miller

Food was absolutely fantastic. Good size portions. Service was ok, but food was so good it made up for it. Great ambiance. Wouldn't notice it if I wasn't intentionally going there, which I like.

Dennis Smith

A true gem hiding in a strip mall. Cozy atmosphere with excellent food and service. I had the wreck fish with farro, delicious.

Jm Busuttil

Delicious food. Nice setting. The only minus was service was a bit slow for lunch time, given it wasn't crowded.

Jeremiah Elliott

Fantastic food, relaxed atmosphere.

Jill Nicholas

Mmmm cocktails and friends and accidental souffle dessert!

Kristie Legge

Fantastic food and service. We are visiting the area and were having a hard time finding a place that didn't have a long wait for lunch. Im not sure why this place was not slammed like others were but the service is top notch, the food delicious and the prices are reasonable. My husband already wants to come back for dinner before we leave town.

Trent Wells

Tasty

Eric Schauer

Don't let the strip mall location turn you off. The food is excellently prepared by people who know good food. If you want grease and carbs go to the creek. If you want real food with flavor go here.

renette larock

Great little place.Good food& spirits! Excellent pate.

James Kelly

Great little Bistro hidden away in Mt Pleasant. Everything I have tried has been wonderful. Love the mussels!

Joe Jeter

Good menu selection but nothing outstanding about this place.

Ann Valverde

Always perfect. The best french onion soup anywhere

Sonya Burch

I would recommend to anyone wanting something different for brunch. The trout with lentils was excellent. Located in a strip mall and can be easily missed. Our waitress Stella was awesome and very knowledgeable. I will be going back.

Bob Brennaman

We went there for Mother’s Day lunch. We have been there in the past for dinner. I would go back. Food was good, service was fine. I also like Felixs in downtown Charleston for some really good French food

IB Justadude52

Well prepared. French bistro feel in a strip mall. We like this place.

Robert Marriott

wonderful dinner . ask for Stella to have excellent service

Drake Rourke

The broth of The French Onion Soup alone is majesty, Fresh Snapper is lovely, the lavender creme brulay (I am so sorry for butchering the name)is Zuses gift to mankind, and the server looks like Mark Ruffalo at a glance. Oh, and the environment is great. All grins, no regrets.

Stella Blanchard

Fantastic food and service!

Toni Scott

Very impressive! Everything was incredible. We will be back.... memorable evening...

Wayne Chieppa

3rd time here. Twice in 2015 on vacation and again today. Best kept secret. Food is better than downtown. Worth the ride over from Charleston.

Luc Morand

Real French cooking at very affordable price. We were not expecting such a good meal when we saw the front of the restaurant. Just step in and you will be amazed. We tried the escargots, salade Lyonnaise, moules frites and bouillabaisse. It was all so French! Nothing "americanised" in them. Just go, pick something on the menu, I promise you, you won't be disappointed. As a French couple, we give this place a 5 Stars

Brendan Murphy

I eat there about once and month and love the food and the service. It is a great place for a date and I think you will be well pleased with the menu and the atmosphere which is quite romantic!

William Franklyn

The Charcuterie & Cheeses were good and the Duck Pate was fantastic. The Cassoulet was great and the Duck Confit was perfect. The grilled octopus was just okay and the Bouillabaisse was overcooked and it's sauce was lacking in flavor. The red velvet bread pudding was dry and not what I expected and the dark chocolate souffle tasted burnt to me. I probably won't frequent this place for dinner but I will be back to sit at the bar for a couple of drinks and the Charcuterie with Duck Pate.

Julie Jett

The French onion soup is amazing!

Mariana J

Amazing food, great service!! Totally recommend it!

Richard Van Horn

Went with my parents and a noisy group at the next table ruined the evening. Manager and staff would do nothing to quiet them down. I don't usually write bad reviews but this deserves one.
