Taureau – French
This intimate, candlelit bistro transports guests to the heart of a Parisian evening, where the air is heady with the rich, savory aroma of bubbling Gruyère and garlic-infused wine. Diners engage in a rhythmic, communal dance of long-handled forks, dipping crusty baguettes and prime meats into molten pots before finishing the night with a decadent, velvet-smooth chocolate indulgence.
