Toulouse Café and Bar recalls a Fin de Siecle Parisian Café where you are likely to bump into friends and find yourself in conversations with neighboring tables. At first glance you will notice the bustling activity that characterizes Toulouse: wait staff with wine openers and hot plates of food, people chatting and laughing, the clink of wine glasses… the atmosphere is sophisticated and good moods are contagious.

In the tradition of all fine bistros, Toulouse has imaginative and seasonal menus that provide exactly what its patrons long for: cozy tables open to the street, mouth-watering specialties a la Française, delicious desserts made from scratch and an extensive wine list. Enjoy the tastes of France with our exciting yet comforting dishes such as our famous quiches, an expertly cooked trout almondine or the best mussels in the city.

Dine with us and be transported to Paris, if only for a moment.

Just a thanks to Bria that served us so well with attention. Food was good as usual . On a not that bad note , we order a second bottle of wine that was on the special of the day . They didn’t have it saying we had only one . They offered us 2 other selections , we choose one . Was supposedly to get a discount or have it at same price than first one as per that assistant manager . Well we paid it full price and never received the promise discount . That assistant manager just disappear 🤷‍♂️

We enjoyed a very good meal at Toulouse on Wednesday night. The calamari plate was delicious. They have now mixed in cauliflower and pickled carrots and various other things. The fish the steak and onion soup were all exceptional and the service was prompt and very attentive. We tend to go there two nights a week or more and feel that the food has gotten progressively better and they are making an attempt to add new things to the menu Which is much appreciated for those that live in the district and would like to eat there on a regular basis, adding new choices on a weekly basis would bring more people in. Thank you to the manager, who took good care of us with beautiful desserts that taste delicious !

I loved everything about my visit. The food was excellent. The grilled octopus was perfectly cooked with great flavors. The mini lobster taco with caviar was just the right bite to get one started without being too filling before the main course but not meant for sharing ( very tiny crispy tacos). Lunch time on a weekday perfect time to go. Nice quiet relaxing
