**Our menu currently features a six course Chef's menu only.**

We will be featuring a special four course Chef's Menu 2/22-3/11/23 FT's Fan Favorites, as we celebrate and honor our founder's birthday.

Our six course Chef's menu at Tersiguel's is a combination of authentic French-style cooking and rustic country fare reminiscent of cuisine found in Tersiguel's original home of Brittany, France. Tersiguel's cuisine is reflective of the seasons, with a garden that produces lettuces, herbs, vegetables, fruits and edible flowers. Tersiguel's is quintessential French Country "from the farm to your plate" cooking. Chef Tersiguel describes his food as "French soul food". The Tersiguel family has operated one of the regions best restaurants for over 45 years and continues this tradition with annual ratings of "Best French Restaurant" from the Zagat and Baltimore Magazine.

    Outstanding service--on the level of what I've gotten at much more expensive Michelin-starred restaurants. Excellent food and a great way to experience French cuisine. Very accommodating to my partner's dietary restrictions. Wine pairing was good and reasonably priced. Great atmosphere for a romantic date. Easy parking across the street. I will definitely go again.

    It always feels like a special treat to dine at this lovely, authenticly French restaurant. Warm and friendly, family owned, chef Michelle serves a fabulous 6 course service. The knowledgeable wait staff explain the course and relay any special needs to the kitchen. I am Gluten free due to celiac disease and they had no problem accommodating my special need. Charlie is an excellent bartender and pairs wines to each course. A foodie delight! But, informative, and not intimidating experience for persons with limited fine dining histories. You come away wanting to learn more about regional foods of France. Intimate setting in historic Ellicott city. A little spendy, but, so worth it!! Making memories is what happens here. 💕

    Chef Michel has chosen to offer a prix fixe 6-course menu. Something to keep in mind for those who prefer choices or have limited diets. We thoroughly enjoyed everything on his menu. We aren't regulars to Tersiguel's, but we've been a few times and every time everything brought to the table was prepared perfectly and delicious. Highly recommended place in OEC.

    We’ve always had a spectacular dining experience at Tersguel’s. Every course was delicious. There is innovation that pleasantly surprises, as well as favorites that at the same time familiar and newly and expertly executed. Chef and staff are always happy to explain techniques and ingredients for those who are interested. Highly skilled and at the same time warm and friendly.

    We had the 6 course fixed price menu that changes seasonally. Every course, from soup to desert, was excellent. They handled the gluten-free requirements of one member of our party. The wine menu was not huge but had a good selection of quality wines. Service was excellent, very attentive.

    Their prix fixe menu is a delight and exposed me to wonderful offerings I would have passed on had I made the selections. We have dined here twice since they moved to this format and we have thoroughly enjoyed it both times. Even my teenage son has loved it especially the french bread! They have also been able to prepare delicious options for vegan family members which are just as The service is tip notch as always. We always enjoy sitting in the front rooms.

    We knew ahead of time the menu and price was fixed, so no qualms there. Food was so full of flavor that we were starting to feel full around the 4th course (not complaining that the portions were to large). The escargot “pot pie” was delicious. My wife did think that one dish was over salted and was too full to finish the last two courses. I would say that if you do the wine pairing , be prepared to be on your toes to keep up with each course. Next time I might do it without the wine pairing.

    Could be a victim of high expectations here. For $100/person you get 6 courses, and for another $40 you get 6 paired wines, which is a good value. The location, decor, ambiance, and service are all top shelf. Food: cost cutting was evident in 2 of the courses, particularly the shrimp. Wine: bummer. The whites were okay. The server mentioned these were all house wines. I left disappointed; upon reflection, I can see the value. It's a tough place to be! Personally I'd have paid more to get more, but $140/person is a big number already. I'm a fan of the restaurant and wish you the best.

    We went to Tersiguel's last night for my birthday. The ambiance was lovely and the service was impeccable. The food was good-- the 6-course meal idea was a fun way to try new things that we might never have considered. I was expecting the food to be more memorable than it was (for the price). In my opinion, it does not compare to the quality, ambiance and service of the Elkridge Furnace Inn (our usual go-to for special occasions). Maybe it's because I had heard such amazing things that my expectations were inflated-- but I do not think we would go back again. We would however recommend it to friends to try!
