What a wonderful experience! Amy was the server of all servers!!! Her knowledge, humor and overall personality made the experience that much better. The meal is going down as one of the best meals that I have ever had. We had the scallop and mushrooms for appetizers or beginners. We shared glazed carrots and they were w. Our entrees were duck and chicken. All plates are created to share. The duck was cooked very well and the chicken was juicy. Everything was seasoned and tasty. We also split a tiramisu and the meal couldn’t have ended any better!

An absolute gem! So gorgeous and incredibly delicious! Our server Victor was so attentive and knowledgeable. He gave us great suggestions and a sample regarding our choice of wine and made our lunch extra special. Try the “grilled cheese”-truly elevated. The soup was outstanding as well. My partner really enjoyed the bison burger. We can’t wait to go back.

About the restaurant

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!
