Well known in Toulouse, Émile serves one of the best cassoulets of the city. It would be a shame to overlook the rest of the menu, though, as it is of very high quality. I like their fish a lot. It is also a very nice place to eat outside.
Au Bon Servant
The chef officiates almost alone, which does not prevent him from offering perfect plates. Fresh products, inventiveness and especially taste, always taste.
La Belle Équipe
La Belle Equipe is both an atmosphere and bistro cuisine with fresh products. You will not go for: trendy cuisine and unknown tastes. You will go for: quality of products, accuracy of cooking, the wine list and a place where Audiard could have shot a movie.
Ma Biche sur le Toit
Trendy place on the roof of Galeries Lafayette, you will pay for the setting, but the food is also worth it. The terrace offers an unbeatable view of Toulouse, the neo-seventies atmosphere is fully assumed, the bartender knows how to make cocktails and the chef masters fusion cuisine anchored in southwestern France. Depending on the time of day, you will be served breakfast, a real meal, a snack or a piece of cake and a cup of tea.
Monsieur Marius
Among the restaurants that have renewed the culinary scene in Toulouse in recent years, Monsieur Marius offers an inventive market cuisine, tasty and subtle, where each dish is described by its three main ingredients. Raw? Cooked? Grilled? Stewed? It’s a surprise (but you can ask).
Le Bibent
The first thing that will strike you about Le Bibent are its baroque gildings and large windows that open on the Place du Capitole. But it is also a beautiful menu developed by the Michelin-starred chef Christian Constant, an alliance of family cooking, brasserie cuisine and chef cuisine. I have a soft spot for potatoes stuffed with pork feet and for the boiled egg piperade with bacon chips.
Les P’tits Fayots
With his inventive and precise cuisine, chef Aziz Mokhtari will surprise you with unexpected but always right pairings. I have an excellent memory of his oyster with bacon in a kiwi gaspacho. The room is nice and features an open kitchen. Very good service. Booking highly recommended.
Bat Bat
Bat Bat makes traditional Vietnamese street food with fresh, quality products (beef from Aveyron, farm-raised pork…). Pho soup and bo bun receive fresh herbs at the last minute before serving. Brunch served on week-ends until 1 pm (on reservation).
Solilesse
Solilesse shows both punk spirit and profound respect for French traditional cuisine. Continue reading “Solilesse”
