Description: The Tersiguel family have been serving their unique version of French food for over 30 years. The 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. When the Garden is not producing Chef Michel Tersiguel will personally go to and hand pick all fruit and vegetables at the whole sale market in Jessup, Maryland. Tersiguel's is the quintessential French Country "from the farm to your plate" cooking. Chef Tersiguel describes his food as "French soul food". Tersiguel's has for over 30 years been one of the regions best restaurants and continues this tradition with "Best French Restaurant" from Zagot" and "Baltimore Magazine, not to mention Tersiguel's has been featured in the Washingtonian, Sun Papers, New York Times and Southern Liv

Celebration meal for my daughters college graduation. The appetizers were great. The calamari was cooked just right. I ordered the beef bourguignon and it was tender and tasty. Everyone else in the party also loved their dinners. Of special note was the steak my son ordered. The atmosphere was nice with country French decor and Chopin playing quietly in the... More

This restaurant is in a beautiful building. The food was great and the staff was excellent. The only thing that is tough is the parking in Ellicott City. There are some public lots in town. You may have to walk a bit.

Tersiguel's is well worth every penny spent - the quality of the service and the food alike are fit for royalty. The price is similarily suited for the wealthier patron, but this is a small obstacle when one saves up for a special occasion. Our total for three adults eating from the dinner menu, including appetizers, wines, entrees, desserts and... More

I recently took my wife here for lunch on her birthday. I love French restaurants and this is an outstanding example. We made a reservation and it was a good idea as they had a very nice crowd for a weekday. The atmosphere is very nice and fit for any sort of special event. The service is spot on. The... More

I love Tersiguel's. It's my all-time favorite special occasion restaurant. Although the menu, which changes with the seasons, isn't huge, it's always interesting, varied, and well thought-out. The food is always impeccably fresh and beautifully presented. The meals I've had at Tesiguel's have ranged from wonderful to absolutely incredible. I've had tuna--yes, tuna!--that was the most delicious fish I have... More

Teriguel"s has been a part of Ellicott City for many decades. We always get wonderful French food, excellent wine and outstanding service. No matter how many times we have a meal there, we are always warmly greeted and treated personally.

We ordered the seafood appetizer for 2 at $36. The shrimp were good but the crab and potato dish tasted only like potatoes, no crab . The $40 lamb dish had a small amount of sliced lamb and 1 of the smallest lamb chops I have ever seen. Barely 2 bites, very thin, and 3 green beans and plenty potatoes.... More

Oh! To travel for an hour each way and be so disappointed. The menu read so well on the Internet, however they left out the key ingredients. Flavor, taste and country charm. The service was mediocre as was the food. I had to send back my appetizer which I was looking forward the most to eating. Needless to say we... More

Absolutely enjoyable dining experience! We were seated in one of the smaller dining rooms decorated to perfection. The atmosphere was cozy, quiet and dignified. The waitress couldn't have been more competent in describing the specials and making certain we were well satisfied. Our dishes consisted of Beef Bourguignon and Chicken in a delicious cream sauce. The vegetables, braised string beans... More
