I'll Stand Bayou

Toulouse Petit Restaurant and Bar Opens

You’re far more girl gone mild than wild. But that doesn’t mean you’d pass on a party (or the occasional lewd act).

Catch the Big Easy vibe at Toulouse Petit, Brian Hutmacher’s (Peso’s Kitchen & Lounge) hotly anticipated watering hole in LQA.

Georgia peach juleps, Sazeracs, and French 75s; a lengthy list of Northwest spirits; and locally crafted bitters will keep you in your seat past cocktail hour appreciating the hand-carved bar’s particular voodoo.

Linger in sleek wood booths with bourbon milk punch. Late nights invite onlookers to sit near tall windows over plates of andouille gumbo, oysters Bienville, and corn and tasso maque choux while weekend revelers spill to and fro neighboring bars.

Get there in a flash.
