Bourbon n' Toulouse

A hidden gem! On our most recent roadtrip, we wanted to find a small business restaurant to support. Being in Lexington, the “bourbon” part of the title interested me. When trying to to find this restaurant, the GPS took us directly to it, but there was a restaurant about two doors down that we thought was actually this restaurant. Come to find out, there is a small window and door and that is where this gem lies. Then we realized that it did not actually have anything to do with the drink bourbon, but more on the lines of Bourbon Street when it came to Mardi Gras. This did not deter us, though, as we were in love when we walked inside. Very colorful atmosphere, Mardi Gras beads hanging all over the place, Local and Louisiana type art decorating the walls and tables. Upon entering, the worker who was extremely friendly, explained everything about the dishes and how they came. We were very impressed by him! 😀 We ordered two dishes that were half-and-half. One had Chicken Etouffee and Gumbo. The other was Red Beans/Sausage and Chicken Creole. Once I took a bite, I was instantly taken back to my childhood when I lived in Biloxi, Mississippi. Something about the taste just took me all the way back. I’m not even sure which item it was that I tasted or mixture of everything that it brought back. I cannot forget the butter bread. That was probably one of the most amazing breads I have ever tasted and went very well with these meals. 🍞 They had numerous sauces to accompany your meals. The food definitely had a kick in a few areas, but it was absolutely amazing! 🔥 I would come here again and again and suggest others give it a try if you haven’t and are in the area! A very laid back setting. Vegetarian, vegan and gluten-free options available.

This is a wonderful place to stop for anyone! They cater to Celiac and vegetarian while having Cajun classics. The workers are always chill & kind which is a plus - I would suggest this for families, couples, or as a solo meal!

I'm a "good portions, good taste" kind of person and I'm SO glad we stopped here. Gluten free friendly too! Very reasonably priced. Get the half and half and try TWO awesome dishes!
