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.

Everything about our dining experience tonight was spectacular. The food, service, staff were great. The duck confit was delicious. As were the scallops on the half shell and the grilled octopus ceviche. It’s one of our favorite restaurants. We haven’t been there in a while but will be back again soon. It’s worth it for a special evening!

The food was remarkable. The table was most uncomfortable. When I sat in my chair, my left arm hit the beam. No table of that size should be in a restaurant. The service was not what it was when Toulouse first opened. The waiter was nice but the helpers could not speak or understand English. The purse hanger was not brought to my table until they brought out the food to go. There were many other tables available. Not sure why the shoved us to the wall.

We enjoyed a delicious and delightful Chrisrmas afternoon dinner at Tou,ourselves in their enclosed veranda. Our server, Julia, was so gracious, knowledgeable about both the wine list and the menu and attentive. We highly recommend Toulouse...ask for Julia!

A lovely place featuring indoor and outdoor seating. Tables were tightly spaced but comfortable and well set. I have to say that the service was very crisp and efficient. Sauces were well prepared and the charcuterie board held at least one delicious mystery item. We'll go back..

Great food, nice waiters, and very lively just so you know. Don't go for a quiet meal. However, I'm writing this on Christmas day so it's not surprising that lots of folks were eating there.

Due to it being busy and the Christmas holidays I did not communicate my issues with our server or management. However, the worst steak I’ve ever had. I asked for medium it was so over cooked. Not to mention the steak was not good quality to begin with. I ate it to be polite and didn’t want to cause an issue. The music was far too loud, could barely hear the person next to me talking. Lilly was our server and she was awesome. She had a few big parties but she was super attentive to our table. The extra staff filling water and clearing the table were also very attentive.
