The midweek brunch deal rules. The fruit platter is "better than average" (inside joke with the server). Come during brunch during the week and enjoy great food and great service at a good price! read more

I have a mixed review of Toulouse Petit. On one hand, the service was lightning fast--the food arrived within 5 minutes of ordering--and the lobster roll was absolutely delicious. Because the food quality is so high, I will return, but the service environment on this visit was completely ruined by an aggressive, boundary-crossing waiter and dishonest billing practices. The tension started before we even ordered. Wanting to ensure accuracy for our group of three, I put on a straight face and told the waiter directly that I was serious about getting the order right. He was visibly unhappy when asking for our drink orders. When I stated "no drinks," a friend in my party immediately joked and ordered something anyway, signaling to the waiter that my boundaries could be ignored. The waiter's inappropriate comments began the moment the order was placed, when he pointedly told me twice that I "better eat up all the food" we ordered. He then aligned with my friend's jokes throughout the meal instead of focusing on clear communication. Because of this unnecessary distraction, a $9 charge for beignets was forced onto our bill without my authorization, alongside a "living wage expense" tacked onto the final total without upfront disclosure. The lack of professional boundaries peaked after our plates were cleared. A lighthearted comment was made to the waiter about where the food was, and when he brought out a dessert we did not order, he leaned in and explicitly told us we "fucking better finish it." Using profanity with paying customers is utterly disrespectful and unacceptable. The kitchen staff and the speed of the food deserve praise. I enjoy the menu enough to come back, but front-of-house management needs to seriously address the aggressive language and financial dishonesty of their floor staff. Next time, I will ensure the ordering process is kept strictly to business. read more

My one and only visit was with a group of friends. The menu is huge, offering everything from pasta and burgers to seafood and steaks. At first, I wasn't sure what type of cuisine the restaurant was trying to be. Given the name, I assumed it was French, but the menu felt more like a mix of different styles. I decided to order the Toulouse Burger. My thinking was that if a dish carries the restaurant's name, it should be one of their specialties. Fortunately, the burger was very good and I enjoyed it. The overall aesthetic is beautiful at first glance, but some details take away from the experience. For example, the TV mounted on the wall with visible wires and the speakers surrounding it felt out of place. The restroom could also have been cleaner. The towels by the sink were soaked and splattered with water. If it's difficult to keep them looking neat throughout service, a wall-mounted towel dispenser might be a better solution. That said, the restaurant was very busy, so it's understandable that keeping up with every detail can be challenging. My impression is that Toulouse wants to create an elegant European-style atmosphere, but in reality it feels more like an American-style restaurant with European influences. I think it would benefit from presenting itself a little more authentically rather than trying to project a level of sophistication that doesn't fully match the experience. A restaurant is at its best when it embraces what it truly is. read more

Food...5 stars! Service 2 thumbs down! I arrived at the restaurant with an hour to spare before their lunch service ended. I was greeted by my server with a very stern cold expression and she made no suggestions even after I mentioned it was my first visit. Her response, "the kitchen is closing in 45 mins." I was rushed and made to feel like a nuisance by her. This being my initial experience, it left a very distasteful first impression. She tried to clean it up 10 mins afterwards when I placed a to-go order and said "let me order that now as the kitchen is closing." Her response "You have time..." *insert confused face emoji* I won't return. I still do recommend this spot for epic Cajun cuisine just be aware that service may overshadow your overall experience. read more

I had to tap one star because at our lunch today my husband enjoyed his finely cooked meal of scallops on grits and his dessert of three flavors of crème brûlée. But my bouillabaisse was a joke. There was sand in my soup from the clams that were closed ( never eat shellfish if it's still closed after being boiled!). I pried the clams open to see inside and there was muddy sand in them. That means they were not properly soaked in salt water before preparation and most of the clams were closed ( I think only two opened out of six). I told the waiter after digging out the fish and seafood from the broth which was inedible. He said sorry which wasn't enough and presented us with a full bill. On top of asking for a tip for the chefs who only get $35 an hour of " living wage." Hard to be sympathetic when I'm eating sand. read more

Came here at 210, stand in the front with no service for 5 minutes. Won't be back again.

Came here for dinner on a trip during vday weekend and was pleasantly surprised by the whole dining experience. Restaurant is just so vibey, with real candles lit throughout the whole space. Plenty of seating, gorgeous large windows and high ceilings, it really does make me feel like I'm in NOLA. We ordered a couple of dishes: clam dip, fried green tomatoes with crab, lamb leg, and their shrimp grits. Overall, most dishes were very good: the clam dip reminded me of a clam chowder dip, I really enjoyed the fried green tomatoes with crab, and the lamb leg was one of the best cuts of lamb I ever had. As someone who doesn't typically enjoy lamb, this tasted like a perfectly medium rare cut of steak without the gamey flavor. I was a bit disappointed with the shrimp grits dish as this was recommended to me by the server I was told that the crawfish would be fresh, but it was clearly frozen and shriveled. It was also on the spicier side which wasn't aware, so that was the only thing that I couldn't finish. They also gave us beignets on the house which I appreciated, but they were a bit deflated and stale. Service was not bad, but definitely a bit slower that night understandably so due to the crowd. Overall just a couple of misses in the dishes, but know next time to get their meats which is what they excel at. Will still definitely come back again if I am ever in town. read more

Came here to celebrate a birthday + anniversary brunch and made sure to note it in our reservation (and even received a follow-up email confirming the occasion). We had dined here years ago and had great food and service, so we were genuinely excited to come back. Unfortunately, the service this time really missed the mark. From the start, the vibes felt off. Our server brought us to the table but didn't know what mimosa flavors were available -- not a huge deal, but it set the tone. After that, we found ourselves consistently waiting while tables seated after us were attended to first. We waited to place our order, waited to order beignets (my husband eventually flagged her down), and later waited so long for the check and to-go boxes that we had to ask another staff member walking by -- who then redirected our server to us. For a birthday + anniversary brunch, that kind of inattentiveness definitely dampened the mood. And while we don't expect fireworks, a simple acknowledgment of the occasion would have gone a long way -- especially since it was clearly noted on the reservation. Now, the food? Delicious. The Shrimp and Grits (served in a small skillet with four large shrimp and scrambled eggs) was absolutely fantastic -- no notes. Rich, flavorful, perfectly cooked. The Spicy Creole Andouille Hash was also very good, but the shrimp and grits stole the show for me. Portions were solid, and the beignets with dipping sauce were a perfect sweet finish. Overall, we left wishing we had chosen a different spot to celebrate such special occasions. I absolutely recommend the food. But is it the only place in town serving this quality? No. And for that reason -- paired with the service experience -- we likely won't be making another reservation. read more

I wish I could give this place 0 stars because our experience was honestly so frustrating. As a server myself, I always try to give people the benefit of the doubt and I almost never leave bad reviews but I really can't help but say something about this experience. We came during lunch to celebrate my friend's birthday, and right from the start, the service was incredibly disappointing. It took nearly 45 minutes just for our server to greet us and it wasn't even busy. We were sitting there confused while other tables that came after us were being helped, wondering if we had somehow been forgotten. When the server finally came over, the interaction didn't get any better. My friend mentioned it was her birthday and asked if she could get a cocktail that was easy to drink since she's not really a drinker but wanted to celebrate with us. Instead of being helpful, the server responded with, "You've never had one before? What do you mean you want a cocktail that's sweet?" It came off dismissive and honestly a bit rude. A simple recommendation would've gone a long way. I really wish I have gotten her name, but every interaction my friends and I had with her made us wonder if she was just having a bad day. To make things worse, when I reviewed the receipt, I noticed we were charged for beignets that the server had said she was going to give to the birthday girl. I asked her about it, and she said, "Oh my gosh, sorry that was a mistake," which I understand, mistakes happen and it's okay, But then she followed it up with, "Anything else I should take off?" which felt really off, like it was somehow my responsibility to double-check the bill instead of hers. The overall vibe just felt off the entire time. Between the long wait, lack of attentiveness, and the awkward interactions, it really put a damper on what was supposed to be a fun birthday lunch. The food itself was decent, but it wasn't enough to make up for the poor service. Definitely not an experience I'd want to repeat. Didn't even get to take any pictures of the food :/ read more

For Mother's Day I wasn't feeling well. My son wanted to get a great take out dinner since we couldn't go out to eat. From salad, soup, and entrees it was absolutely horrible. The salad was filled with onions not a snap pea to be found in it as described. The French onion had maybe two pieces of cheese floating in the oily broth. The steak was a terrible cut, filled with giant globs of fat. The worst however was my husband's fish and chips. The breading was burnt, the fish raw, and the inside batter raw. We had a miserable meal. I would have went in for a refund if I wasn't so sad about how everyone's meal was abysmal and I felt better. Accidents happen, but when every item was inedible, there is more going on than just a bad day for the chef. Spending so much for something that went into the compost bin was not how I planned on spending my Mother's Day. Do better, in this day and age where prices are sky high at least do the bare minimum for your customers and serve them a decent if not great meal. read more

We always head to Toulouse when going to Climate Pledge. It is getting harder to walk in so be sure to make reservations. There were 4 of us on our reservation. We showed up on time during a not so busy time. It was unfortunate as our server didn't seem to be very helpful or welcoming. During the holidays it is a mandatory 20% tip for every table. Not that I would have been stingy with a tip but I didn't feel like it was earned. We spent $400 for 4 people. Ordering drinks, apps, dinner and dessert. The food was great as always but we always go for the beignets. The atmosphere is fun. Somewhat dark with over 250 lit candles. We will go back but it won't be on our immediate list anymore. We just might need to branch out in the area. read more

We came with a group of 8 adults after watching a show and were very surprised by the ambiance of the place. The entire dining area was lit up with candles. We were impressed by the craft cocktails and great selection of food. They had regular meals and tapas style appetizers. We tried their scallops, burrata, sliders, and jambalaya. Everything we ordered was delicious. Best thing about it is that they stay open later than other surrounding restaurants. Because of that, they charge an automatic 20% service/gratuity, which in our opinion was well worth it. Can't wait to come back again! read more

This is a very romantic vibe and I loved feeling like we were dining in an underwater cave! Our server was very helpful and made great recommendations when we were overwhelmed by the huge menus. The food was good but it felt a bit disjointed - like they were a Cajun creole place that also had to have all the other stuff too. Additionally, I think there were quite a few seafood dishes with sausage in them, which kinda threw me off as a pescatarian, but that's more a personal thing. Overall it's a great choice for a romantic dinner but does cater to tourists and families with its large and broad menu. read more

We made reservations for 10:00 am on a Friday morning through Open Table and got seated immediately. The staff were friendly and checked up on our table frequently to make sure we were okay. The food came out in a timely manner and it was absolutely delicious. Their weekday brunch happy hour (Monday to Friday from 10 am to 12 pm) prices are reasonable and their regular menu is vast. Certain dishes are exempted from their happy hour menu so I recommend you ask your server in advance. Parking can be difficult in this area so I recommend coming early to find street parking or get dropped off. We ordered the Pan Seared Sea Scallop Coins and Braised Bacon with a Cream Corn and Basil Humita, Seafood Gumbo, Acadiana Benedict and the Beignets with Chicory Anglaise. Pan Seared Sea Scallop: If you try everything together, it creates the perfect bite with a range of flavors and textures. The scallops were cooked perfectly and paired well with the salty bacon and crunch from the slightly sweet cream corn. Seafood Gumbo: It was a little on the saltier side, but each protein was cooked just right and I finished the entire bowl. If you add a little hot sauce to it, it adds an extra kick of flavor. Acadiana Benedict: It was by far the best Benedict we have ever had. They take the base of a classic Benedict and add a creole take to it. You get fresh chunks of Dungeness crab, shrimp, and andouille, perfectly poached eggs and a flavorful creole hollandaise. The dish itself is a little salty, but it comes with breakfast potatoes and both together balances the flavors. Beignets: The dessert beignets come with 5 pieces and a chicory anglaise (a coffee flavored dipping sauce). The beignets came out hot, crispy on the outside, and light and fluffy on the inside. A great way to end the meal. Overall we had a great time and look forward to dining with them again. read more

My partner and I came to Toulouse Petit for dinner during SRW. We ordered 2 sets that we shared: Set 1 for $65 Fried Chicken Bites Over Seafood Gumbo Base Lucy Gulf Shrimp with Andouille and Crawfish Okanogan Rib Eye (+$5) with Frites Set 2 for $35 True French Onion Soup Beef Short Ribs and Chanterelles Stroganoff (+$8) Beignets Everything was delicious. We enjoyed the stroganoff with the steak. We loved the Lucy the last time we were here so we already knew it's good; the serving for this course meal was smaller than the lunch serving we had last year though. The ambiance is definitely more romantic at night. This is a great spot for a date night! read more

Toulouse Petit never disappoints! It's one of my go-to spots for a cozy date night thanks to its vibrant ambiance and consistently impressive food. My boyfriend ordered the gumbo and was blown away -- high praise coming from someone who's had some of the best in Louisiana! I opted for the wagyu, which was beautifully cooked and full of flavor. Their late-night happy hour is another highlight, offering an extensive menu that goes far beyond the usual bar bites. Between the lively atmosphere, attentive service, and thoughtful menu, this place truly stands out. Pro tip: make a reservation -- it's always buzzing for good reason! read more

Went at lunch for Seattle Restaurant Week. They offered a nice variety of dishes for either $20 or $35. It included 2 courses. Salad or soup and a main course. Dessert was basically a bite/ taste size for an additional $5. Good: True Cajun/Creole seasoning. The roux flavor was deep and you can tell that it was simmered for a long time. You can see the spices in my pictures. The food took a while to come out but it came piping hot! The Fried Chicken Gumbo is almost a meal. Chicken was juicy and crunchy. I wish they had a fried chicken option on the SRW menu. Shrimps were plentiful and large. Meh: The French Onion soup was a little too sweet for me. Lots of onion though. If you are sharing plates, everything starts to taste similar. We had gumbo, jambalaya and Creole Lucy (shrimp n grits). Beignets were disappointing. Too dense and almost flat like a pop tart. The coffee sauce was so good though. Takeaway: I would go back again. This place hits the spot if you're craving that New Orleans flavor. Very delicious and dishes are cooked perfectly. read more

We stopped by here for a quick lunch during a fairly busy afternoon around the Seattle Center area. The menu is overwhelming. It really is like trying to read a novella or something. Its nice to have options but that is worrying sometimes because I'd rather a restaurant do 20 dishes well than 40 dishes semi ok. The items we went with were satisfying for a quick lunch. I got the fish and chips and the dipping sauces were the best part of it. To their credit the fish was not overly greasy. I was a little let down by the soup my bf got. I've def had better french onion soups. Service really was attentive. read more

Oh my goodness! What a gem of a place so close to so many different attractions! My friend and I came here last night before seeing Lord Huron at Climate Pledge Arena. First, this is within easy walking distance to the Seattle Center. Secondly, we got in without a reservation and let us choose between the bar or seating in the dining area and we chose the dining area. They gave us a giant drink menu which can easily take hours to get through. It was amazing to see all the options. The food menu was superb with amazing southern, Cajun and creole staples. Our waitress was incredibly kind, informative and quick. The ambience inside and out was a mix between gothic architecture and a romantic ambiance. We ordered 6 raw oysters, a cup of the seafood gumbo, lobster roll, rockfish tacos, curned pork cheeks confit with apple mustarda and crostini. Everything was impeccable and so flavorful. I'm a Cajun woman and that gumbo was something out of this world! For dessert, we got the beignets with espresso dipping sauce and my friend got the banana pie. Delicious!! I will keep coming back to this beautiful establishment. read more

A Queen Anne classic that still has the flavors, if not the hype. It's been a long time since I've visited this spot. Twenty years ago, this was the place to be--the ultimate date night destination with lines out the door even on weekdays. Today, it's much quieter, and the decor is definitely showing its age, but the soul of the kitchen is still there. The service has always been a bit "indifferent" (both then and now), and the menu is still a massive, disorganized wall of text--definitely look at the menu online before you go! However, good Creole/Southern food is hard to find in Seattle, and they still nail it: * French Toast: Thick, custardy, and perfectly executed. * Oyster Po'Boy: Not exactly "classic" style, but the oysters were fried to perfection--crispy outside, juicy inside. * Shrimp & Grits: The standout. The shrimp were incredibly snappy and the seasoning was spot on. It's bittersweet to see Queen Anne a bit quieter than it used to be, but I'm glad this place is still standing. Great for a nostalgic brunch or a late-night drink. read more

Lovely establishment with an interesting take on Cajun cuisine. As a Cajun woman, from a family of generations of Cajun folks I know Cajun food very well. And this place over uses the cayenne like nobodies business. If the spice masks the flavor, you've gone too far! We had the Creole Lucy, which is their take on shrimp and grits, and a shrimp pasta for mains. Both were way over spiced. (And cayenne or spice level was not mentioned next to either dish in the very extensive menu. To say I was surprised at the spice level would be an understatement. It nearly blew my head off!) The fried green tomatos with crab was excellent! Probably my fave of the night. As it was our anniversary, they presented us their version of a beignet, a flat fried dough chunk with powdered sugar vs the usual puffy lightness of a traditional beignet, and we ordered a bread pudding as well. The service was really slow. Once we were seated, it took our serve 20+ minutes to come over and take our drink order. Then our appetizers, salad and Main all came out at the same time. Not the best pacing for a fine dining meal. It was also very VERY loud in the restaurant with the music. We sat on the same side of the booth and I still caught myself leaning in to try to hear my partner. All in all, I enjoyed most of my meal, and with some tweaks this place could be even better. The decor design really nailed that "French Quarter" aesthetic. read more

Spectacular ambience! Loved the classy and warm French Cajun theme. Service by Tea was exceptional - so friendly and helpful. Both the cocktail and the food menus are extensive. Frankly, there's so many fantastic options, it's overwhelming. An entire page of martini options! I tried the Ford and it was fine but way too much orange flavor for me and I love orange. The red wine by the glass from Bordeaux was very nice. Our food was so delicious! We started with the fried oyster salad and the fried green tomatoes with crab starter. Both were perfectly prepared. For entrées, we had the scallops risotto and the line caught blackened rockfish with crawfish sauce and grits. I highly recommend both. The blackened rockfish was perfectly cooked and tender unlike the tough blackened white fish I had the night before at RockCreek. For dessert we had the banana cream pie with Chantilly cream. One of my favorites and this was probably the best I can ever remember. The only negatives were the mandatory credit card fee (2.7%) and the 5% living wage charge on the bill. Personally, I believe restaurants need to either pay their people what they're worth or increase their prices instead of putting a charge like that on the bill. And for a restaurant of this caliber to charge a credit card fee is ridiculous I think. I can't imagine anyone is carrying that much cash around. Everything was so good, I have to give this five stars, but these additional items on the bill were so disappointing. read more

We went here for brunch on a Sunday- thankfully had a reservation, but even with that, it took a while to get through the line at the host stand at the entrance. It seemed they didn't have a person to stand there full-time, so after helping one customer, the host would go off to do an errand, come back after a few minutes, etc. Not the smoothest process to say the least. Once seated, our server was overall pretty attentive, and the food was tasty. The croque madame has kind of a bitter mustard flavor that I wasn't expecting, but overall decent. We did receive one incorrect order at our table of 6, but they took that off the bill so we weren't too disappointed. Overall, probably would not come here for brunch again- I enjoyed happy hour much more as it was quiet, delicious, cheap, and you can order the beignets for dessert (they were my favorite part of brunch!). read more

This place is amazing. Came here during happy hour and ordered different small plates to sample. They knocked it out of the park on all of them: (1) Kumamoto oysters - fresh and firm, served with a side of Louisiana hot sauce. Great start to the meal. (2) Pan seared scallops served with pork belly and corn, topped with chimichurri sauce. This dish had so much textural variety (the sweet, crunchy corn paired with the rich bacon and umami scallop). (3) baguette - comes with house butter and a chimichurri sauce. Toasted perfectly with light buttery taste. Perfect base to soak up all the flavors from the other dishes. (4) Burrata en crudo with fennel pine nut salad. Such a great combo, perfect fusion of creamy and nutty flavors. Paired well with the baguette. (5) BBQ shrimp - bold, striking flavors. Has heat from the cayenne seasoning. (6) Seafood gumbo - loaded with seafood (shrimp, crawfish, scallops, and rockfish). It was such a nutritious and hearty bowl. (7) D'Anjou pear salad with goat cheese and walnut was executed perfectly. Great fusion of the rich creamy goat cheese with the sweet, lightly tart pear. (8) Bread pudding with a side of salted caramel ice cream - good end to the meal. Has nuts and dried cranberries in the bread and ice cream. read more

My husband and I shared a delicious steak for dinner tonight through grub hub. I ordered it medium. To do that to a wagyu steak must have been difficult for the chef.

The fried chicken biscuit gravy was incredible! The chicken skin was a bit too salty in my liking and it seems to be the trend here (previously experienced the same with the St Helena steak, where i couldn't eat the side sauces due to everything being extremely salty). I still enjoyed the dish, generous portion and friendly staff that helped us. Experienced a hiccup in our order (they forgot bacon in our sandwich so we had to get it on the side afterwards--not inside the sandwich) which is a first! I would still come back here for the fun of their interior, staff, prime location and maze--like menu that is extremely fun and difficult to choose one item from. read more

Life changing seafood gumbo. Was traveling to Seattle and a friend insisted I try Toulouse Petit Kitchen. I only had one full day in Seattle so I planned my walking adventure to include this place. I walked in on a Friday afternoon soaking wet. The place was relatively empty. I was worried I would need a reservation but I didn't. I was quickly seated. Ordered a short and spicy margarita (fantastic!) and the Toulouse Seafood gumbo, I opted to add the scallops and Dungeness crab. Holy moly. Life changing. All kinds of flavors. The perfect dish for a cold rainy day. Very generous serving. Wonderful ambience, attentive staff. Now I know why this place was recommended as a must try. It's on my permanent list of places to visit. If you're in the area, and you love Cajun food, definitely pay them a visit! read more

6 months since my first visit, and I've been back to Toulouse several times. I have enjoyed every visit, but I'm finding I have PTSD from that menu - I actually dread opening the thing. Most recent visit was very good except the steak (first time ordering) was pretty flavorless and boring. My wife said, "but the sauces are so good!" Yes, they are good (especially the chimichurri), but when paying that price I want the steak to stand alone. This one didn't - still, the sauces were good. read more

We waited for about an hour before getting a table but it was WELL worth the wait. We went around dinner time though I believe they also have a brunch service as well. A large menu with a variety of French and southern style food. It was my first time ever having gumbo and well...the bar for gumbo is set extremely high now. Everything was amazing, we ordered quite a few dishes as well as drinks. Even though it was a full house, everyone was super friendly and service was well paced especially for house busy they were.

Come hungry and with a big appetite, and preferably a friend or two so you can sample their large menu. This is one of my go-to brunch spots in Seattle - it always delivers. Having lived in the French Quarter for several years, I'm particular about Cajun/creole cuisine and this place is pretty legit. High quality food. I've yet to have a bad service experience, and always leave with a smile. It's a lively spot for a brunch and then they dim the lights in evenings for dinner. This time we shared the bananas foster pancakes, fried green tomatoes, and the Creole shrimp n grits. The pancakes were my favorite - tasty but not too sweet. read more

When I first moved to Seattle, Toulouse Petit was a nice place to get decent cajun food. Since then, I feel like the prices have gotten drastically higher while being fine cajun food at best. The ambience is still neat, service is still good, but it's just not worth the value proposition when there are better alternatives out there having explored Seattle a bit more. On top of that, the few times I've been since, they've had issues with their health inspections and at that price point it's just not worth the trouble. read more
