Extra context
Questions people ask
When is Tooloulou's strongest?
Breakfast and brunch are the obvious hooks, but it also works for Cajun/Creole dinner when the group wants something different from pub fare.
Can I reserve Tooloulou's for brunch?
The official page says reservations are accepted for dinner only, so treat breakfast and brunch as walk-in/call-ahead territory.
