Four Strangers Walk Into A Bar...30 years ago, four people working in the hospitality industry met in a bar on Toulouse Street in The French Quarter of New Orleans. Over time they became friends and when the first one moved away he stated, "our paths will cross again." Sure enough, over the next three decades, we worked together and apart in cities across the United States, including New York, Chicago, San Francisco, Telluride, Washington DC and of course The Big Easy. In early 2021 an opportunity presented itself and Toulouse was born.Using local, sustainable ingredients, we produce food with a hint of New Orleans style, in the type of place where tourists feel at home, locals are at home, and everyone is surrounded by family and friends.

    Our waiter was great- his recommendations were spot on. The calamari was delicious. The bread warm along with the Balsamic dipping sauce very tasty, even the grated parmasen cheese for the pasta was yummy one of the best I have tasted. Nice wine list.. Our party of 3 were all very happy with our meals. The service was great, they brought out a nice dessert for our birthday girl that we all shared. I highly recommend this restuarant.

    We had an outstanding meal at Toulouse. The staff was great, and let our two dogs join us at a corner table. The shrimp and grits was spectacular, as were the Brussels sprouts, and shrimp salad. We highly recommend this restaurant and look forward to visiting it again.
