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.

    The best meal in South Lake Tahoe 10 days into our vacation. Gumbo is outstanding as long as you like it spicy. Staff are really nice and going back again tomorrow.

    Second time at Toulouse - the first time was fantastic so we went back. We were a party of 7, made a reservation for dinner in advance. Seated fast. All great. Restaurant was very busy. The steak, which was requested to be medium rare came out well done. Friend had to send it back, and did come out medium rare. The burgers, which were requested to be medium rare, came out burnt. The gumbo, shrimp and grits, salmon were all great though. We got an open plate charge on an appetizer, was very surprised by that.

    Consistently good! I ordered the steak and my boyfriend ordered the catfish poboy. We split a cup of gumbo which was spicy and flavorful. Staff warm and welcoming. Food came out swiftly despite the restaurant being full.

    Fantastic!! Impeccable food & impeccable service. Authentic New Orleans Cuisine. Chef Jon & the rest of the crew make you feel right at home. The drinks were added bonus. Highly recommend.

    Good food and drinks. Service was excellent. My steak came in overcooked and without a doubt I was brought a new medium rare one
