We stumbled upon this place when walking back from the lake. We were fortunate enough to get a table in the bar which turned out to be very lucky as it was fully booked that evening! I can see why.
The service was top notch. Cozy environment which is perfect after a day of skiing. Most importantly, the food was amazing. Had the Creole poutine and the beef goulash, which was on special. The blackened chicken sandwich was highly rated by a friend too.
Had the banana bread pudding and pistachio cheesecake for dessert. 10/10 for both.

TL;DR Great food, yummy cocktails, & fantastic people. Also, the cooks are masters of texture.
Our party of 4 sat in the bar area to watch the game. Wish the TV wasn’t as loud, but that’s probably the only tiny drawback from our experience.
Started with the tasty poutine that maintained its crisp just enough under the cheese gravy with some soft, saucy bites mixed in. We also devoured the melt-in-your-mouth brussel sprouts. The rest of our party had burgers as mains, which I think they liked. I was too busy relishing the bowl of gumbo and shrimp and grits to notice.
Gumbo was rich but balanced. The kind of flavor you can keep eating and not get tired of. No salt lick feeling on my tongue at the end of the bowl, which I often get from other gumbos.
Not sure if the shrimp in the grits was blackened, but it was seasoned strongly to give some kick yet balanced, again. Both the shrimp and grits were cooked perfectly – some bite on outside and plumpness on the inside.
I like trying desserts at restaurants, and Toulouse’s pistachio cheesecake didn’t disappoint. I regret only ordering 1 piece for 4 of us to share, but I don’t think any number of slices would be enough. The strawberry coulis balanced (again) the fluffy, nuttiness of the pistachio cheesecake. Delicious.
I forgot to take pictures of the drinks, but all cocktails we had were great. I enjoyed the lavender French 75 enough to order twice. I tried some of the Naked & Famous, and although I don’t love mezcal, it was one of the better mezcal cocktails I remember.
From start to finish, service was warm and friendly. I actually felt like they were genuinely happy we came. It was such a strong impression that everyone commented on it as we dined. Shout out to our waitress, who I think was Alex. Gracious and attentive, like everyone else we met.
I will admit the price seemed a little steep, but after we finished, I can confidently say the quality and execution were worth it. This place was so good, someone asked if they’re a chain because they want to eat it again without having to drive for hours. Fortunately and unfortunately, they’re not, so visit if you’re in the area.

Went to Toulouse this morning for a nice breakfast. We arrived mid morning to an empty restaurant. We were greeted an seated. We ordered the Shrimp and Grits (?) and the “French toast”.
The food was delicious! I didn’t expect to enjoy the shrimp dish so much. Slightly spicy and seasoned well. The French toast was amazing although, one slice was very VERY chewy. Maybe an older piece of bread snuck it’s way into the batter?
We ordered extra food to bring to the kids at home in Meyers. They were pleased. We would absolutely visit again.

On our gondola ride back a local told us that we had to try Toulouse & we are SO happy that we did! We like to sit at the bar, it was a quaint bar area, super cute and cozy. The restaurant is beautiful but the service was out of this world. We truly felt at home in this little slice of paradise. The food, top notch. Brussels, homemade sauces, Wagyu Bacon Blue Burger (he ranked in his top burger of all time) and the mushroom ravioli in a pesto cream with blackened salmon! Save room for the pistachio cheesecake, too! Adrian & Alex were welcoming, fun and just amazing humans that we can’t wait to come back and visit! You want great, QUALITY food, go here. You want to make awesome memories and possibly a regular stop every time you’re in Tahoe, go here! You won’t regret it. Thanks! See yous next time!

We ate here twice during our visit to Lake Tahoe. Once was for cocktails and dinner at the bar. The 2nd was for breakfast outside on the patio. Both experiences were lovely! From the kind and attentive staff, to the atmosphere, to the quality of the food, we loved everything and hope to be back soon!

We really enjoyed our meal at Toulouse! The oven roasted chicken wings were perfectly seasoned, the chicken burger was juicy and flavorful, the penne pasta was rich and comforting, and the mushroom omelette was fresh and delicious. They were also kind enough to allow a few customizations, which made the experience even better. It is a bit on the pricey side, but I suppose that is expected in a tourist spot like South Lake Tahoe. Still, if they could make it a little more budget friendly, it would be perfect. Overall, the food and service were excellent and we left very satisfied.

I had an amazing experience here! The food was absolutely delicious every single dish was on point. The drinks were just as great, and the atmosphere was fantastic. Huge thanks to our server, Alexia, who gave us outstanding service and made the lunch even better. Definitely recommend this place!

This restaurant is located right by Station Inn where my husband and I were staying (it’s the hotel’s restaurant). We were very impressed with our food, and our drinks were delightful. I had the impossible burger with the brioche bun (the bun was so soft). To drink I had the Paloma. My husband had the Cajun chicken sandwich and an old fashion. Happy hour is worth it if you can swing it! The hostess and bartender, Alex, were also really attentive and welcoming.
