Best French Restaurants in East Dallas

The staff were attentive. The restaurant was decorated nicely for Christmas. The food was very good. Especially the Death by Chocolate.

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 Elizabeth Disch 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. 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.

This was our forst time at Mot Hai Ba after hearing people talk about it for years and I genuinely regret not going sooner. The food was unique and delicious, the service was top notch and friendly, the atmosphere was cozy and lively. Nothing but good things to say about the experience and can't wait to go back again - hopefully very soon!

Sat in the “gazebo” across from the main entrance. Absolutely lovely. Ambiance was great and food was really good. They store their wines in a cellar so the older wine that I selected had aged properly. Absolutely will be back the next time we are in town.

Cute spot with amazing sandwiches and coffee. It's in the middle of downtown so just a little bit shady with the homeless around.
