earned a place of honor on Mount
Pleasant’s “Best Of ” list thanks to
its great service, culinary creativity and high-quality food
and drink.
Owners Candice Mahala and Matt Schulz met while
attending The Culinary Institute
of America. They’ve spent 15 years
working around the East Coast – Mahala as a cook,
pastry chef and catering manager and Schulz cooking in
fine dining kitchens. Most recently, Schulz worked with
French and Belgian chefs in Washington, D.C., where he
mastered the art of French cooking.
“This is the type of food we love; it’s comfort food,”
said Mahala. “Onion soup gratiné, steamed mussels. These
are dishes we crave.”

interpretations of French dishes, and a section of the
menu evolves based on seasons and customer suggestions,
Schulz keeps the most popular items, such as Steak &
Frites, available year-round.
The Bistro Toulouse team uses only fresh
ingredients and boasts extensive beverage options.
With more than 20 different wines offered by the
glass, Mahala designs the wine program to offer
producers and varietals not typically found in other
restaurants and that pair well with the menu. Weekly
“Wine Wednesdays” feature $10 off all bottles of wine.
Classic and creative cocktails, along with craft beers,
also change with the seasons.
“Food and beverage together create an experience,”
Mahala said. “That’s what we do at Bistro Toulouse, and I
think that’s why we’ve become a town favorite.”
Bistro Toulouse is in the Sea Island Shopping Center. To learn
