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.

Review summary

AI-generated from verified diner reviews

Toulouse in Houston delights with its "delicious food" and "outstanding service." The warm and inviting atmosphere makes it a favorite for brunch and special occasions. While live music and the patio offer a romantic setting, some find it a bit noisy. The diverse menu features delectable dishes like duck confit and seared scallops.

The service was excellent, and the food was great. It was a bit noisy, but not enough to keep me from returning. I’ll definitely be back!

Absolutely great staff and there are so many different options for seating. Usually the covered patio is my favorite, but on this chilly day the inside was lovely.

Dined for dinner on Valentine’s Day weekend, we arrived a little early and were sat immediately. The ambiance was very nice and the food was spectacular. We had the Shrimp Ceviche for an appetizer, and I had the Seared Scallops over Truffle Risotto and my fiancé had the Duck Confit. Would definitely recommend!

Went on Valentines weekend and was able to get a table. Loved that they didn’t have a set menu. The cocktails were amazing. I got the filet and it was perfect as well as the fries. My favorite are the petit gourgeres. It’s a must have.
