Starting Thursday 5 March, Andre and his crew are proud to present you with their new "Bistro Chic" (smart bistro) menus.

History

Teissonnière's L'Escargot was established in 1976 "on the hill" in Devon Street as the first genuinely ethnic restaurant in Taranaki.

Six years later the business was relocated to its present site in Brougham Street, still in the "French Cafe" style but half its present size.

In 1992 the adjacent building was purchased and the restaurant extended to its present form. The buildings, built in 1876 and 1870 have been identified as being the oldest commercial buildings in town and are of historical significance.

We are proud to have been part of the business and restaurant scene in New Plymouth for the past 26 years and to have been of service to not only Taranaki but to people from all over New Zealand and overseas.

We can assure you at all times of our best service and hospitality.
