Frequently Asked Questions
Is the menu exclusively fondue focused?
Yes. Taureau is centered on fondue service with cheese, entree, and chocolate courses.
Are you open on holidays?
Yes. We are open 365 days a year, including all holidays. On rare occasions, such as severe weather events, we may close; any such closures will be announced on Instagram and Google Maps.
Is Taureau wheelchair-accessible?
Yes. Taureau is fully wheelchair-accessible.
Is there outdoor seating?
No. Taureau does not offer outdoor seating.
How do I get to Taureau?
Taureau is directly adjacent to La Sirène SoHo, immediately to the east. It is within a five-minute walk of the Spring St C/E station, and about seven minutes from the Canal St 1 station or the Canal St A/C/E station.
Does Taureau host group dinners?
Yes. The shared format is naturally suited to group dinners and celebrations.
How far in advance can I reserve?
Reservations open 45 days in advance at 9 a.m., and remain available until one hour before seating. After that, walk-ins are always welcome.
What is the cancellation policy?
When booking a reservation, guests are asked to agree to a cancellation policy and to keep a credit card on file for enforcement. The exact terms vary by day of the week, time of day, and party size, but in general we require 12 to 24 hours' notice; the cancellation fee, when charged, ranges from $30 to $50 per guest. Guests should review the precise terms presented at the time of booking. We regret having to charge for cancellations at all: the fee exists only to discourage no-shows and last-minute cancellations, which leave tables empty that other diners would gladly have taken, and which complicate the logistical planning that our reservation count informs.
Is there a corkage policy?
We do not offer BYOB at Taureau. Guests who wish to bring their own wine are invited to book at our adjacent SoHo location instead.
Is gratuity included?
Gratuity is at your discretion for parties of five or fewer. For parties of six or more, a 20% gratuity is applied automatically to the check.
What payment methods do you accept?
We accept cash, all major credit cards, Apple Pay, Google Pay, Bitcoin, and WeChat Pay / Alipay. We offer a 5% discount for payment in cash and a 10% discount for payment in Bitcoin.
