My partner and I have been here several times and never had a bad meal. All the cheeses are amazing, though we normally opt for the truffle. I highly suggest all the meats, veggies, fruits, and breads -- there really isn't a bad one. And try to save room for dessert, the dark chocolate fondue is excellent. We've always done advanced reservations because it's a slightly smaller place. The restaurant is actually two restaurants with traditional french on one side and fondue on the other. read more

Had a reservation for 8pm on a Wednesday for a bday celebration, the place was empty but intimate. Loved the bits of bacon and bread for the fondue, super tasty. The milk chocolate was also pleasant, I liked the apple slices, blackberries, and bits of marshmallow included. Overall I loved my experience here, more filling than I thought! read more

Somehow worse than The Melting Pot. The place itself is fine, good space. Started off strong with the cheese course and then it just got worse. There were people at a table near us sleeping ~ We should've known then we were in for a ride. The meat portion itself was an hour long, and it was not cooking. The flavors were not very tasty and the meat was unfortunately tough. The chocolate fondue was overly sweet and the sides tasted store bought or stale. The sangria was fresh as in it tasted like they let it sit for 2 min. They cut the fruit, poured the wine and served. The servers were kind!!! read more

Dining at Le Monde in New York was one of the best restaurant experiences we've ever had, and the credit goes first and foremost to Marco, our incredible waiter. From the moment we sat down, Marco made us feel welcome, relaxed, and completely taken care of. He wasn't just attentive--he anticipated what we needed, guided us through the menu with ease, and added a warmth that turned a great lunch into something unforgettable. We came all the way from Florida because we knew exactly what we wanted: the duck. It's usually only available at dinner, but Marco didn't let that be an obstacle. He immediately spoke with Chef José Luis, who went out of his way to prepare the dish specially for us at lunch. That extra effort meant the world to us--it showed just how much this team values their guests. The duck was every bit as exquisite as we remembered: tender, flavorful, and plated beautifully. Marco's genuine care, paired with Chef José Luis's willingness to go above and beyond, gave us a meal--and a memory--we'll be talking about for years. If you want more than just a meal but a true experience where you're treated like family, ask for Marco at Le Monde. He's the kind of waiter who turns dining into a celebration. read more

I received attentive care from staff others have criticized. It's worth braving the small, busy lunch scene for the quality food and service here. The kitchen understands flavor. This level of attention stands out in today's world. I'm eager to share this place with more people. read more

Intimate, cozy little spot inside of La Sirene French restaurant. Fondue was great! We went because nobody anywhere offers milk chocolate fondue- it is always bitter, dark chocolate. The cheese and meat fondues were excellent, wonderful wine offerings and a very nice waitress. I definitely recommend this place. As we left, and walked through the french restaurant it was packed and the menu looked great. We will go back and give it a try. read more

Found this place while looking for a tasty fondue on a cold day - our research led us to Taureau! We really enjoyed both the Truffle cheese fondue and the meat which was really high quality. We also got a glass of red wine each which paired really well with the food. By the end of the meal we were stuffed, so we didn't get to enjoy dessert, but the dessert fondue also looked delicious. We are looking forward to coming back for more when winter comes! read more

Nice quiet place, seems like a family owned place in soho area. Service was great and atmosphere also nice. The fondue was tasty but the pork offered with the fondue was very tough and overcooked (maybe that's how it's supposed to be?). We ran out of cheese before we finished dipping all the food. Chocolate fondue was good, thought there was an abundance of fruit selections. Overall positive experience, however fondue tends to be generic everywhere. Looking forward to try the other French cookings they have! read more

I would have given a 3 and 1/2 if it were possible. Overall, we enjoyed our dinner. Reservations were made via Resy, and we arrived at the right time, which is key when you're dealing with a small restaurant. No waiting around. The staff were attentive, but not over-bearing. We were given drinks relatively quickly, and were were able to order. I wish they could have been a bit more available, though. My wife and I have been to The Melting Pot and other Fondue Restaurants. Overall, this one comes out as somewhat average and expensive. There were not enough choices of broth, and the one we ordered was somewhat bland. The other choices were OIL. The meats and other dipping stuff were all extra, which was somewhat surprising. The cheese fondue was pretty good. The cheese is of good quality, but the staff did not monitor the heat, and we were forced to send the cheese to the kitchen to be heated up when it congealed. That was done quickly, and gave us some more time to enjoy our wine -- which was also of high quality. Over all, we might return and give them another chance. Again, there was nothing "bad". It just wasn't stellar. read more

I mean it was a very nice experience and the atmosphere was dark and flattering to be in. The cheese was definitely of high quality but everything else you pair with it is not expensive but you still had to pay for it. They use a special pot and double boil for the cheese. We had dirty utensils and wet plates... It was a bit uncomfortable. Service was bare minimum with the male waiter read more

This is the place for delicious cheese and chocolate fondue! We had the Perigord (Truffle Oil) and Old Swiss cheese . Milk and dark chocolate for the dessert. Meat for some of my party. Out of the cheeses, I recommend the Old Swiss cheese. It had a pungent Swiss taste. It also stayed longer in melted form. The Perigord was good too but not so pungent. The 2nd course option ($55 a person) include 1 cheese and 1 chocolate fondue and croutons (to dip) with salad. The 3rd course option ($69) include 1 cheese, 1 meat, and 1 chocolate fondue. You can order vegetables and meats on the side to dip. I did enjoy the potatoes and cornicorns. The 3rd course option would be recommended if you can handle a lot of food. As for me, the 2nd course option was a perfect amount. For a party of 6, I thought we would be out by 2 hours but we left 3.5 hours later. read more

Went here the other night with my partner. Small place that offers both traditional fondue and a full-service regular menu. We got the cheese fondue with nutmeg on top (forgetting the name of it, but it was so good). Our sides were broccoli and the thick cut bacon. Love the endless side of croutons! We then got profiteroles for dessert; came with vanilla ice cream and a healing amount of dark chocolate! Great if you love sweets and cheese. Great for groups of 2-4 ideally. Would go back. read more

Back for the second time while visiting NYC from the west coast. I stumbled on this place by accident last year and vowed to return. Well, we did...I stayed with the cassoulet and the rest of the table had hangar steak (awesome dish) and the pork tenderloin (equally awesome). I know that every time we visit NYC, this will for sure be on our places to visit. The only stipulation is the restaurant only accepts cash and American Express. Well worth the visit. read more

Taureau - Cassoulet was delicious. - Fondue Near Me - New York, New York

Cheese? Check. Meat? Check. Chocolate? Check. Amazing service and experience? Check. My boyfriend and I were immediately seated for our reservation on a chilly Sunday evening. The ambience of Taureau is defined by warm lighting, quiet to moderate conversation, and casual romantic touches that make Taureau perfect for date night. Our waiter promptly came and took our order. We ordered a bottle of champagne and the three course prix fixe with cheddar monterey cheese fondue, the vegetable broth for the meat course with two sides of filet mignon, and the dark chocolate fondue. The cheese fondue comes with unlimited croutons and salad but we also ordered additional sides of bacon, salami, pear, and potato. When our cheese fondue came in its large cauldron we were dumbfounded by how we were going to finish it in addition to our next two courses. When we got the chance to dip our food into the cheese, we realized that the cheese was not in the cauldron but was in a metal container fitted in the cauldron. The cauldron housed a double boiler that prevents the cheese from burning. Despite the fact that we were bamboozled, there was more than enough cheese for two people to share. The cheese course is not overly heavy, greasy, or salty but was still rich and flavorful. This means you can have large amounts of cheese without being overwhelmed. The croutons are perfect to dip into the cheese because you have a nice crunch with warm melted cheese. Then you can have the salad as a palette cleanser for your next cheese dipped crouton. The bacon, salami, potato, and pear also paired really well with the cheese, particularly the bacon and pear. While the pear combination sounds strange, it is sweet relief from the savory goodness of the cheese (credit to our waiter!). After devouring the cheese, we were presented with sizzling vegetable broth and a side of four sauces for our filet mignon. This experience reminded me of chinese hotpot but with a western spin. The filet mignon is dipped in the sizzling vegetable broth for a few minutes to cook to desired doneness and then dipped in one of the four sauces: truffle, spiced gravy, aoili, and dijon mustard. The filet mignon was delicious and the taste varied with the dipping sauces so we weren't stuck with the same flavor for a whole course. Last up was the dark chocolate fondue served with a platter of marshmallows, strawberries, bananas, pears, apples, and cake. The dark chocolate fondue was the perfect bittersweet and balanced end to our meal and paired well with all the platter of fruit and sweets. The service was amazing. The waiters were very attentive and always asked if we wanted extra croutons/drinks/food. Bottle service was top notch. Our glasses were always full and even when I spilled my champagne I was provided with another glass! Huge shoutout to Nino and our server (sadly didn't get his name) for providing us with an amazing experience we'll never forget! read more

If you have a fondue craving, I would definitely try Taureau. Perfect for cold weather and if you are absolutely starving. We ordered the Escargot for an appetizer and it was tasty af. I appreciate that they come shelled and the flavors are amazing. They give you bread for the cheese fondues which was delicious but I do wish there were more options to eat the fondue with, I was so full by the time we were done with the cheese fondue. The meats were delicious but at this point I was bloated beyond belief and we could barely finish the meats. The chocolate fondue was also amazing but we could barely eat any of it. If you do come here I would suggest you to not go crazy on the first dish which is the cheese fondue and bread unless you are starving. read more

This place is great if you love CHEESE! I went with a big party and we shared 3 pots: Devil's Whiff, Old Swiss, and Perigord. My personal favourite was the Perigord. It's perfect for truffle lovers but not too overwhelming for those on the fence. Everyone gets complimentary lettuce and croutons for dipping, but ordering any other dipping-sides costs extra. I think the side dishes are a bit overpriced, but thats just my opinion. It's fine for a big party ordering multiple sides and splitting the cost like we did. But I could see it getting expensive for a party of two. And let's be real, you're not going to fill up on lettuce and (hard!) croutons alone. That being said, the food and cheese pots were all delicious, and they have a great wine list. I got a glass of Côtes du Rhône and I loved it! My friend had a glass of Bordeaux and she enjoyed hers as well. The waiter was super friendly and helpful, and the wait for food was not long at all. For dessert we shared a pot of milk chocolate and a pot of dark chocolate. Each pot comes with one plate of assorted fruits, small cakes, and marshmallows. The milk chocolate fondue was soo good, I could have eaten the whole thing with a spoon. Overall it was a fun experience, and I'd suggest it for a larger party. read more

Went to Taureau for dinner last night and left feeling disappointed and ripped off. I do not understand how this place has so many good reviews. The food is terrible. We ordered the 3 course pre-fix of cheddar-monterey for cheese, red wine (which we ended up switching to the olive oil) for the meat, and the dark chocolate for dessert. The cheese had no flavor. No tanginess, no sharpness. The croutons and salad were the best part of the first course but the fondue didn't taste like anything. We ordered a combination of sides to also dip into the cheese. The broccoli and potatoes were steamed vegetables, no salt or flavor or anything. The cured bacon was incredibly tough to chew. Taureau does seem to give everyone massive portions on their tiny plates, but other than the bread, salad, and bottle of wine we had, the first course was not good. The two meats we chose were the filet mignon and the hangar steak. Again, Taureau does not skimp on the portions. The server came by with the red wine broth and told us how to cook the meats once the broth was boiling: 15 seconds for medium rare, 30 for medium, and well done beyond that. Nothing cooked in 15 seconds, in fact nothing cooked in 45+ seconds. We switched to the oil because we were having issues with the red wine broth. Again, we had to leave meat much longer than anticipated to fully cook it inside. The meats were not marinated or seasoned, just raw. The aioli dipping sauce was the only thing that gave it flavor. We probably should've left then, but kept assuring ourselves that chocolate fondue couldn't be messed up and dessert would be fine. At this point, I think our server could tell we weren't having the best time so we were poured a free glass of wine. We had the dark chocolate for dessert. It also unbelievably had zero flavor. The "seasonal" fruits were fine, pears and apples were a bit of an odd choice for chocolate fondue. It was unreal how flavorless the chocolate was. We ended up eating most of the fruit just on its own and were happy to leave. I had absolutely no issues with the service at Taureau. We had reservations, were a few minutes late, and were seated promptly. The servers were friendly and helpful when they sensed we weren't having the best time. But for hundreds of dollars, I'd expect infinitely better quality food. Again, we are so confused as to how this place has the rating it does. The food is not good and definitely not worth the price. read more

I can't say I've been to other fondue places in the City, but this was a very enjoyable experience. Pretty small and intimate great place for a date night. I thought the prices were reasonable relative to the amount of food you were getting. Loved the spicy, pepper cheese blend we tried and the steak was very tender after getting a bath in our choice of wine. I didn't like the amex-only thing, but we were prepared after yelp (they also call to notify and tell you at the restaurant). If I'm ever in the mood for fondue and cheesiness, I know where I'm going! read more

Taureau - Fondue Near Me - New York, New York

My husband, friend, and I have been coming here for my friend's birthday for fondue for 8 years and are never disappointed. It has stayed consistently great, and we don't plan on changing our tradition any time soon. We have even attempted other fondue spots and Taureau has stayed our personal favorite. It's pricey, and they only accept cash or Amex, but it has and will continue to alwyas be worth it. The servers are kind and knowledgeable, the space is clean and aesthetically appealing, and of course all of the cheese selections are amazing. We usually get the perigord (has truffles), but we've also enjoyed Old Swiss and Soprano as well. But the our absolute favorite is actually not on the menu anymore: Devil's Whiff. It's the Soprano but with wine and red pepper. Sometimes it can be more wine-y than pepper-y (yes those are technical terms!), but either way it remains our favorite! The last couple times we've gone the server has asked the chef who was able to make this oldie but goodie for us. We WERE slightly disappointed that they've also taken the fennel sausage off the menu, but we also enjoy the chorizo, so it wasn't that big of an issue for us, especially when we usually go hard on french pickles anyway! As for dessert, its dark chocolate for us all the way. Their dessert spread of apple, pear, strawberry, marshmallow, and pound cake is perfect. My husband always said he wished there was a brownie option, but he's a huge chocoholic, so chocolate on chocolate is his thing. Even still, he doesn't really mind the absence of a brownie with the other great options! It is worth noting that this establishment is also a regular French restaurant, but we have never eaten here for anything other than fondue. Just like always, our dinner Saturday left us stuffed, satisfied, and excited to come back next year! read more

Ah Taureau, i missed you and your fondues. Dearly. BUT, was very very surprised to see that no one checks vaccination status when eating inside. :( Not a smart move in a pandemic. Please CHECK vaccination status for indoor guests!! I will return then! For info: service is GREAT and fondues are still amazing. Just check the damn vaccination status so that we all have piece of mind! It's easy enough. read more

Meh. Kind of a rip off. My friend and I shared the $42 prix fixe. We got the pyranees cheese fondue that comes with salad and croutons. We also ordered a side of veggies: broccoli, cauliflower, and carrots. There was way too much cheese in the pot for 2 people. We barely finished a quarter of it. While it seems like this is a good thing (who doesn't want extra cheese), they could charge much less for a bowl of heated cheese and cheap sides. We had the milk chocolate fondue for dessert with assorted fruits, marshmallows, and cake. This would be very easy to make at home at a much cheaper price. read more

My fiancé and I went here for the first time on my birthday and recently returned for our anniversary dinner. The ambiance is cozy, romantic, and intimate - a rarity in the city. Service was great, the servers are attentive without being overbearing. All three fondue courses were delicious. We ordered a bottle of the house bordeaux, which paired with the meal well. All of the cheeses sound delicious, but we got the swiss - and it was dreamy, definitely order some apples to go with it. The steak was tender and full of flavor, we also loved the dipping sauces. Of course, the chocolate fondue was fantastic, we ordered the dark chocolate and it was the right level of bitter while still being sweet and tasty. You can order more croutons or salad for the cheese, or fruits or cakes for the chocolate, but the initial portions are pretty plentiful on their own. Highly recommend for anyone who wants fondue with quality service and a quiet atmosphere. read more

Thank you Taureau for making our son's 18th birthday celebration so memorable! When we asked him what he wanted for his dinner he adamantly said fondue so I checked out Yelp and found Taureau. We had an early reservation at 5 because we were going to see Chicago. We were the only patrons when we walked in. After getting the rundown on how the dinner worked we were ready to dive into some cheese. We had 4 with us so we chose two different cheeses. We had the Smoked Dutch and the Soprano. OMG the cheese was so delicious! So many flavors going on in my mouth and all of them wonderful. Next we moved onto the entrees with everyone choosing filet. The broth is either oil or wine. We chose both and loved them but the oil broth stole my heart! For dessert we had the milk chocolate with an array of pears, apples, marshmallows, and cake. It was the best fondue chocolate I've ever had! The restaurant made our son a dessert with homemade cream puffs sandwiched with homemade ice cream and whipped cream. It was drizzled with their chocolate sauce. Our son said it was the best dinner he's ever had and didn't stop thanking us the entire night. As a matter of fact he asked if we could come back to celebrate when he graduates medical school....we said definitely BUT I know we will be back sooner! When we left the place was packed so make sure you make reservations! read more

Beautiful, quaint, gorgeous, and fancy, I LOVED Taureau. I've had fondue in Switzerland and it wasn't nearly as good as this. My friend and I did the Prix Fixe option, which is a three-course fondue meal of cheese, meat, and dessert. My ONLY negative was that our service between courses was extremely slow. It took a good 3+ hours for us to have our full meal. But in good company and amazing food, it was still well worth it. For the first course, we had a truffle oil cheese that was just spectacular, with a side of salami and their unlimited croutons and salad. The second course we had filet mignon and pork tenderloin that you cook briefly in a broth of your choosing (we chose the red wine broth). If you can, I'd get two servings of the filet mignon because it is SO GOOD. And for the third course, we had dark chocolate fondue with an array of marshmallows, fruits, and cake. Absolutely amazing. Their house Bordeaux is also very good if you're a red wine lover like myself. I'm definitely planning to take my boyfriend here should we ever make a trip out to New York in the future. read more

I came here last night and the experience was AMAZING!!! The combination of location, decor, service, atmosphere, and fondue made my evening felt wonderful and absolutely luscious. The restaurant is small yet well designed to create a warm and intimate space where I was comfortable, relaxed yet secretly buzzed with excitement. More importantly, our server was attentive, pleasant and sincere, which made our experience so much sweeter. But what topped it off was their FOOD!!! The 3 course fondue ($37/$57) feature was an absolute treat and it was heated by a hot plate that was located directly on the table. Everything was just pure deliciousness, the cheese, the broth, the dark chocolate and especially their MEAT!!!! We ended up ordering the hanger steak and pork tenderloin which tasted heavenly where cherubs and angels would sing sweet melodies as we forked our meat and placed it in the broth to then pair it with the four assortments of dipping sauces that were tasteful yet independent from one another. I highly recommend this restaurant! Their BYOB was a clear plus and their food was the STAR. All in all, everything that night was just perfect and delightful and I would definitely come here again!!! ________________________________ Note: Didier you are an absolutely heaven sent to all us foodies!!!! read more

Slightly disappointing experience overall - my two dining partners and I agreed that we would have preferred skipping the second course altogether. Course 1 was straightforward enough. We ordered the truffle and spicy fondue, and stuck with the offered salad and croutons. The croutons were a little toooo tough for my tasting - I wouldn't have minded crusty French bread - but if you stuck them in the cheese for long enough, they would soften up. We probably would have ordered some other sides to dip if we realized what was coming up. At the beginning of course 2, they took away our cheeses! We were disappointed, especially my vegetarian friend, because now he was eating steamed veggies. No joke, that was the choice for vegetarians - three steamed veggies. Those should have at least been presented with the cheese. While my filet mignon was fine, there really was no flavor added by either the red wine broth or the olive oil, and the dipping sauces were not good. By the end, we were ready for dessert. Course 3, we got the milk chocolate and dark chocolate dips. The dark chocolate was a bit grainy, actually, but I enjoyed both of them. I also loved all of the fruit to dip in, although the cakes were just ok. Overall, an interesting meal, although if I ever come back, I would probably ask if I could skip course 2. read more

Came here for my birthday dinner on a Sunday night. Did the prix fix option at 52$ a person and was very impressed with how much food we got for two people. The cheese part was delicious and the "croutons" were perfect for dipping. For the meat course we chose the hanger steak and filet mignon, it was fun having two different meat options. I was extremely full halfway through the meat course! The milk chocolate dessert was wonderful and I really enjoyed finishing the night with strawberries, Bananas, apples, pears, little pieces of cake, and marshmallows. Service was wonderful as well. No complaints whatsoever read more

This was my first time trying fondue and it was fantastic! Even though we were 30 minutes late for our dinner reservation, they were kind enough to seat us right away. Ambiance: 4/5 The ambiance was very romantic and set the mood for the cheesy dinner. The restaurant reminded me of a historic house. Food: 5/5 Oh my goodness... we ordered the Perigord as our first course. The cheese fondue was so good that we refilled our croutons until we finished the entire pot of cheese. We chugged onto the second course with filet mignon and hanger steak in canola oil. It was good but not as good as the first course. I thought the meats were a little too greasy for an already cheese-lined stomach. I dropped a piece of meat on the floor by accident but wasn't as devastated as I should have been. The dessert course tied with the cheese course. I'm not usually a dessert person, and not a huge fan of chocolate. But something about the chocolate fondue won me over. Our server saw us enjoying it so much that he was nice enough to refill our chocolate AND the fruits/marshmallows!!! Service: impeccable! Cash only is an inconvenience but I'd gladly come back for the food. Amazing experience :) read more

What can be more romantic than a nice dim lit fondue dinner? Not much. My boyfriend took me here for my birthday dinner and it was romantic, filling and fun. Taureau is a BYOB place so you can bring some nice bottles of wine to pair with your fondue. We chose the pre fixe of $37 a person, which comes with salad and croutons, your choice of cheese fondue, 2 choices of meat, choice of fondue for the meat and finally the chocolate fondue with fruit plate. We chose the Soprano cheese and ordered a side of potatoes to dip in other than croutons. The cheese is thick and creamy, perfect for the dips but I would like a little more. We picked pork chops and skirt steak as our choice of meat and dipped in canola oil. At first, it sounded really greasy but it turned out just right. The meat came pre-seasoned and they also gave us 4 dipping sauces. Then, we picked dark chocolate fondue to dip our fruit and marshmallow. I wish there was more chocolate! We were satisfied by the end of it. It is a little pricey but the service was very good and food is excellent. It is perfect for a group dinner or a date. read more

The fondue was wonderful and way more filling than expected.

The cash-only policy does make it a little tricky, especially as the place isn't cheap, but it's really a great experience read more
