Fantastic experience from start to finish. The ambiance is warm, welcoming, and perfect for a great meal. The food was fresh, flavorful, and clearly made with high-quality ingredients.

My Best Discovery

“This place is probably my best discovery during our last visit in South Lake Tahoe. We went on a sunny day for brunch. It was beautiful outdoor patio setting. And ton of space, our dog babies could really stretch out and relax there. It’s a modern rustic feel which I like a lot. It’s located right by the Stateline beach, and 5 minutes walk to Gondola. The food was beautiful everything came with very pretty presentations. And they were all delicious!”

 

“The service was very attentive. They also have their own lodge with a nice pool and fire pit. will definitely go back, and might even consider staying there next time.” ~Valerie M.

"Adrienne & Chris made our night! We came in for a bachelor party with a party of 12 and were swooned (in the best way possible) from start to finish. Food was fantastic, service was exceptional, and we could not have asked for a better time. We will recommend this place to everyone and cannot wait to come back!"

“Yes, the food is good and the atmosphere is a vibe. You really can't miss with anything on the menu here. But what kept us coming back was the staff at Toulouse. Starting with the owner, Adrienne, she goes above and beyond to make you feel at home. Alex, the bartender, is the sweetest soul and makes a really great old fashioned. Maria is attentive and wonderful to talk to. We had such a great time here for breakfast and dinner. Try the shrimp and grits!”

If you want excellent food that is fresh, tasty and high quality this is the place. And on top of that it's served with the inimitable grace and hospitality that is uniquely southern and Louisiana hospitality. Excellence on every level. Five bright stars.

"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, cozy and inviting."

"Shrimp and grits at Breakfast! Savory, plump, perfectly seasoned shrimp served over creamy, buttery grits, finished with a touch of New Orleans-inspired spice — the ultimate breakfast indulgence with a soulful twist."

Found this gem by accident when looking for an evening reservation for a party of 9 on NYE weekend! So glad we said yes to this because Adrienne, hubs, her daughter(s) and crew have a very special and DELISH thing going here!

"Our whole table really enjoyed the wings! Probably one of the fav dishes of the night. We also got the poutine and I was feeeeeeling this poutine! Poutine is usually a heavy gravy over fries so we were hesitant to order it – but here it had a nice spicy gravy and some nice pieces of crawfish thrown in there. Would order both those apps again and craving them now thinking about them lol."
