Tallulah On Thames
With just 36 seats, Tallulah on Thames proves that good things come in small packages. This Newport tasting menu and wine pairing restaurant serves the highest quality in product, technique, and flavor. Some of the local sourced products have ranged from the rich cheese at Narragansett Creamery, pasture-fed pork and beef from Blackbird and Aquidneck Farms, and micro greens from Big Black Dog Farm. The seasonal menu, a prix-fixe four course or six course chefs tasting menu, gives guests a unique opportunity to sample artistically presented dishes that are flavorful and very pleasing to the palette. The beer and wine list highlight small producers with a variety of unique varietals that pair well with the menu. With a European bistro feel, Tallulah on Thames presents a uniquely charming dining experience in the Ocean State.

Tallulah’s Taqueria
This Fox Point fast-casual darling is inspired by the bold flavors of Mexico and its rich culture. lt's a counter-service eatery that serves up its taco on gluten free corn tortillas & packs its flour tortilla burritos and burrito bowls with your choice of proteins like carnitas, barbacoa, al pastor, lengua, camarone, and pesce. The passion and dedication to quality and flavor is tasted in their house-made guacamole, salsas, agua fresca, & yummy churros. Already a local favorite is the Breakfast Taco & Burrito that are served everyday until 5pm, and all day on Sunday. Regulars use their online ordering system from their website to just stroll in and pick-up their daily addiction. lt's a tasty treat on the East Side of Providence.
