Toltèk Brasseur Artisan

Review Summary

Toltèk Brasseur Artisan draws crowds with a strong beer program that includes juicy IPAs, stouts and smoothie sours, and a terrace that many describe as lovely and relaxing; the pizza offerings pair well for many, with several visits highlighting wood-fired style pies and a broad snack menu when the kitchen is in sync with the bar, though some orders have disappointed with undercooked dough and lately the menu can feel limited. The indoor atmosphere can feel tense or unclear during peak times, and a lingering odor on one visit detracted from the experience, yet the outside area is pleasant and the staff are described as friendly and attentive, even if service can occasionally run slow or uncoordinated between bar and dining spaces. Reservations are advised on busy nights, and for beer lovers this spot remains a must-visit for its diverse lineup; some patrons note prices can be high and the experience variable, but many leave with a positive impression of a versatile microbrewery with solid to excellent beers and an engaging social scene.View restaurant profile
