Great place to eat and right in the centre of town. Taisteal offer both a tasting and an a la carte menu. So many delicious options to choose from which will bring me back for more. Service was quick and friendly. The food was amazing, lots of new flavour combinations.
I would recommend this restaurant and I'll be back.
Really delicious food and a creative menu. I can’t think of anywhere else where you get such quality for such a good price, 3 courses for £35/2 for £30. Would highly recommend.
Genuinely the best meal we’ve ever had. So reasonably priced for such an amazing tasting menu. Each course ranged from technically brilliant to excitingly delicious, and the whole menu was so well thought out. The waiting staff were helpful, friendly and helped make the evening what it was. Thank you.
Went to celebrate my birthday and had a wonderful night. Originally booked a 5-course meal but wanted to try a 7-course one after looking at the reviews for the scallops. The staff was very accommodating and asked chefs about the availability for the 7-course meal. Glad that we changed to have the 7-course meal. The dishes had some Asian-touch and they worked great with European ingredients and dishes.
We have been multiple times and this was the best yet. The three course set menu started brilliantly (pea and jalapeño soup alongside prawn wontons), but the mains were even better (black olive gnocchi with heritage tomatoes and sole, tartlet, croquette with sauce vierge). Desserts were hazelnut crème brûlée and millionaires cake with malted ice cream.
I booked us a table for Taisteal for my wife's Birthday. We checked the menu again before arriving and I have to be honest: we weren't sure it would be a great fit for us, as the dishes do sound a bit.... out there.
But I'm glad we went. The staff were very friendly, the food was amazing (even though it didn't seem that way, all the flavors mixed well together) and you get a 3 course meal for 35 GBP.
I have friends who've asked us for recommendations and Taisteal is definitely on the list :)
For anyone who wants to know, we started off with the Prawn Wontons with Sriracha Mayo & Avocado Panna Cotta, Sweetcorn Fritter, Avocado Chutney and Chilli Jam. Our mains were the Cured & Smoked Duck Breast, Caramelised Onion Dauphinoise, Cherry and Pistachio, Cherry Jus and Wild Garlic Chicken Kiev with Potato Mousse, Pancetta and Asparagus. For dessert we had the Hazelnut Creme Brulee and a special (not on the menu) Millionaire's Tart.
I went to Taisteal last night and, once again, food and service were great! The steak tartare had an authentic delicious flavour with the crispy egg yolk and the chicken Kiev was also really good with a perfectly creamy sauce.
Ordered onion soup and pork fillet, both splendid! The onion soup may be salty to some but for me its just the right taste! N the pork fillet is wonderful. A worthy place to visit for your meal. Did I forget to say their service is excellent too?!
Delicious meal from beginning to end. Well seasoned starter of edamame followed by Thai tartare with crispy mushrooms and a main of baked cod. Beautiful presentation as well. The chefs know what they are doing. This is truly a dining pleasure and experience. Michelin quality!
Tasty food with excellent service. Lovely relaxed vibe. Time past by quickly but never felt rushed.
