A Taste of New Orleans in Tahoe
Tucked off the casino strip in South Lake Tahoe, Toulouse is a hidden gem where California freshness meets the soulful flavors of New Orleans. Executive Chef Wainwright has crafted a menu that blends local ingredients with bold, Southern-inspired dishes that warm the heart and excite the palate.
Guests rave that they’ve had the best shrimp of their lives here — especially in the signature Shrimp & Grits, where perfectly blackened shrimp meet creamy grits, Tasso ham, and a spicy kick. Other standouts include the Blackened Catfish Po’ Boy, hearty Jambalaya, and the Sausage & Crawfish Poutine smothered in smoky pimento cheese gravy. Starters like Crispy Brussel Sprout Bites with cranberry aioli and fresh oysters set the tone, while desserts such as the Pistachio Cheesecake and house-made Banana Bread Pudding leave a lasting impression.
The atmosphere is relaxed yet refined — a modern rustic setting with a lively bar, cozy dining room, and a dog-friendly patio that reviewers call “beautiful and inviting.” Service is consistently praised as warm, attentive, and personal, adding to the sense of welcome.
Toulouse offers breakfast, lunch, and dinner, along with a daily Happy Hour featuring food and drink specials. Whether you’re seeking bold flavors, craft cocktails, or a vibrant dining experience, Toulouse promises a meal you’ll remember — and a reason to return.

Laissez les bons temps rouler
"Breakfast was delicious. There was plenty of indoor and outdoor seating. Warmly greeted and served. Coffee was hot and bold. My asparagus and goat cheese omelet was exactly as described. The potatoes came with a side of sour cream and complimented the seasoning and chives. My husband's French toast was robust and satisfying. We would like to return to enjoy dinner. Warm and cozy and inviting." ~Suzanne
