It’s Mardi Gras. And if you know, you know. Today is a big day for us. Not because it’s on the calendar — but because of where this whole thing began.

Before Tahoe. Before 901 Park Ave. Before Fresh Powder Outside. Party Inside.
There was a bar on Toulouse Street in the French Quarter.

— How it Started – Origin story —

Four people working in the hospitality industry met in a bar on Toulouse Street in The French Quarter of New Orleans. Over-time they became great friends and when the first one moved away he stated, “our paths will cross again.” Sure enough, over the next three decades, we worked together and apart in cities across the USA, including New York, Chicago, San Francisco, Telluride, Washington DC and of course The Big Easy. In early 2021 an opportunity presented itself and Toulouse was born here in South Lake Tahoe, CA. Original founder, Chef Jon Wainwright is our executive chef serving fresh CA cuisine with a New Orleans soul and the rest of the founding team is here to make sure you are fed, happy and full.

And tonight — we celebrate it properly 💚💜💛

💚💜💛 Mardi Gras / Fat Tuesday Specials Mardi Gras – Tue, Feb 17, 2026

Maybe a few more surprises.
