Bistro Tupaz

Anna Wielosz

Bistro Tupaz was a nice surprise. It is a restaurant in a small shopping mall of Santa Teresa serving French and European dishes. I had a bavette steak you don't easily find in restaurants and it was delicious. Even if it was slightly overcooked, the meat was tender and tasty. Cassoulet was great. We had fresh beignets for dessert, a true treat with warm chocolate sauce. Friendly service, as it was my husband's birthday we also left with an extra raspberry pie at no charge. Highly recommended for good food without breaking your budget.

Last week my wife and I had a really nice dinner here. Nice menu, great food, superb service, reasonable prices, easy parking. Non-chain “Fine” dining options are scarce in S. San Jose, so this was a good discovery for us; we’ll likely visit again.

Fantastic food, fantastic staff. Shoutout to Genie for being a great waitress. Shame that more people don’t dine in, but good to know their business is booming.

The food is consistently pretty good. Lots of options for young children. Lucky to have in South San Jose!

We love Bistro Tupaz. Our waitress Renee was excellent and the food was amazing. You will not get the quality of food and service for the price anywhere else in the area.

Who'd've thought our humble neighborhood would sport a French restaurant of such decent quality?! I was very pleasantly surprised -- though some in our company had been here before. The food was great. Beef stroganoff was great (Wasn't what I ordered, but my wife's leftovers were delicious even the next day!), a friend obviously LOVED his Coq au Vin because there was nary a hint of flesh left on the bones when he was done. My salmon was wonderful, too -- seared with just a hint of crispiness on top and perfectly cooked, on a lavish bed of dill cream puree (garnished with seeds I didn't recognize), with sides of yummy Alfredo pasta and "roasted root" vegetables cooked, serendipitously, just as soft/hard as I happen to like them. And the almost literal icing on the cake was the very competent tiramisu the waitress brought on (which wasn't even charged for) when she learned it was my wife's birthday we were celebrating.

This place is a ridiculously great hidden gem. I’m tempted to say it was great for the price because the prices are so reasonable but that wouldn’t be accurate. The food is terrific at any price. And quality wine at $5 a pour!! My girlfriend and I had great dinners and wine and spent less than $70. Oh, and our server, Jessica, was delightful and so attentive. Go!

Very fresh food, excellent service, and low lighting, with the option for private seating for an intimate feel.

Renee was amazing! She laughed, she suggested, she served, she’s a champion! The food was delicious and affordable. I will tell my friends. I will tell my family. Come enjoy!

Bistro topaz has a great atmosphere. The food was delicious and plated beautifully. Renee was our server and she was very attentive, friendly and helpful with questions.

Relaxing place with delicious food. Not too busy at lunch, which means a nonstressful atmosphere with a big wall of windows for good light in the afternoon. The service is friendly, and food comes out quickly. They don't rush you once you do have your meal. The salads are huge, a full meal. The Greek salad, pictured with shrimp, can also be made with chicken or beef or meat substitute or no meat at all. I've only had their French Onion soup, which has lots of cheese, but not enough onion for me. The shrimp is the best thing I have had here. It is perfectly fried in a light batter that gives it just enough crunch without taking away from the taste of the shrimp. You can substitute any of the sides for the regular chips if you choose to do so. I always sub the chips with sweet potato fries. When we were seated, the table was given bread with homemade orange marmalade with honey - wonderful! 😋

What a sweet little place within a small and uncrowded strip mall. I had beef stroganoff, green beans and beignets. The waitstaff was present, attentive and kind. I was gladly surprised to hear there was a promotion of a free glass of wine with an entree. The stroganoff was good, the beef was high quality and lean. The pasta might have been handmade, it was delicate. Not like regular noodles. I look forward to the leftovers tomorrow. I ate the ENTIRE plate of beignets myself. My best constructive comment is that the ambience, ie: the physical space, is on the lesser end in comparison to the quality of the food and service. I would definitely recommend Bistro Tupaz.

Good food. Good service, even though there were less vegetarian options they gave us Burger with veggie patty and vegetarian pasta. Burger with veggie patty was really good.

I think it was a pretty solid cafe. The employees were super nice. The food was very fresh. The Chicken Burger I got was good, and it came with some well cooked fries. The Canoli though was really meh. I'd go back though if in the area, since it was reasonably priced and the food was good.

We loved this place (and the chef's parents are the nicest people), but if they're never going to have the garlic shrimp ever again, we've lost the reason we go here (and our reason for living, lol)

Chicken sandwich is either great or rock hard, and 9/10 it's rock hard. Yuck. Burgers always have bones in the beef. Yuck. I want to love, yet always disappointed.

My wife and I ordered Chicken Parmesan and the Alfredo pasta with garlic bread. The chicken was so hard you couldn’t cut it with a knife. It was disgusting! Everything else was normal. There was barely anyone in the restaurant and no one behind the counter. There was a woman who seemed disgruntled that said, “I’ll be with you in a few minutes”! I told her that I was just picking up my order that was just sitting right by her. She said “oh” and handed me the bag. Long story short, we are super disappointed!!! ☹️
