About this restaurant

  • Neighborhood gem
  • Charming
  • Good for special occasions
Tooloulou’s introduced itself to the downtown Banff dining scene in October 2012. Locally owned and operated as a casual and intimate fifty seat restaurant, Tooloulou’s offers a Cajun Creole inspired flair alongside a touch of Canadian Rocky Mountain infusion.

Canadians have a direct historical link with our southern Louisiana neighbours. Acadians who lived in our Maritime provinces survived a time of persecution when many migrated to Louisiana where they were instrumental in developing the Cajun culture. Chef Steve embraces the opportunity to merge his love of hearty home-style cooking that compliments southern & Louisana favourites side by side with true Canadian character. Following his philosophy that ‘made in house’ is best, menu items, sauces and sides are made from fresh and natural ingredients. Extensive Breakfast Lunch & Dinner menus offer a wide selection of tasty options for every palate. And don’t be shy to sample from over 100 hot sauces available on our Hot Shotz shelf!

    First time at Tooloulou's and it was fantastic. I spent many years working in the southern US, and enjoyed lots of traditional Cajun cuisine, and Tooloulou's was the closest to authentic Cajun cooking that I have eaten at home. Absolutely wonderful. Very highly recommended.

    This is our sixth or more time eating at Tooloulou’s. We make it a part of our yearly trip. We have had both breakfast and dinner menu. The cuisine is so delicious, service is amazing. I love the atmosphere. You have to try the desserts as well. There is nothing negative to say. See you again next year or maybe sooner.

    My son and I had the steak supposed to me medium rare. It came to us burnt on the outside and blue rare inside. Took 1 bite and it just tasted burnt. Sent it back for a new one and same thing blue rare and burnt. It was awful. We sent it back again and just told them to forget it. My husband and daughter had the crawfish and said it was amazing.

    The food was good, the service was good. Two people ordered the gumbo and wished the server had mentioned that is was spicy, neither could eat much of it. The owner also used the f bomb when a group almost seated themselves… Felt rushed when it was time to pay and felt duped when the tip was included and they gave us the machine on the tip setting…. Super bad taste in our mouth after that.
