Le Taillevent

Absolutely amazing experience.

We were looking for a high end, experiential dinner. The staff provided the best meal I’ve ever had.

This restaurant has a Michelin star. They catered to all our needs including fresh gluten free bread selections!

This was easily one of the top five meals I have had in my life. My husband felt the same way. The service was fantastic. The staff each confirmed the lack of gluten in each item placed on the table. The chefs prepared delicious gluten free bread, toast, and chocolate soufflé for us.

We got the tasting menu- Gestus du taillevent. This came with table side small plate appetizers (escargo, pears, tomatoes, and a shellfish alert). The next course was a caviar with toast, tuna, and crème fresh. Following that course we had a an appetizer with lobster made 3 ways (flambéed tableside, stuffed, and in a sauce).

I could write a novel about the remaining courses- one of which included a fantastic selection of cheeses cut table side.

Amazing. Ate here in November and it was the best meal I possibly have ever had (context - I’ve been to about 40 countries and live in Manhattan walking distance from some of the world’s highest rated places). This was like a theater production - food, service, setting was all so delicious, relaxing. I felt very taken care of. At first the waiter misunderstood Celiac for something else and my options were limited. I insisted he’d speak to the chef. Turns out every item was available to me on the menu but one! There was delicious gluten free bread for the table and a special gluten free soufflé for dessert. This place is pricey - about $30 for my cocktail - but was also the tastiest I’ve ever had. Lunch lasted three hours and felt like a vacation all unto itself. Don’t miss the cheese plate - it takes two people to carry it! This is not just a meal - it’s an event.

Celiac friendly?

Yes
