L'Aparté

★ Michelin€€€Modern Cuisine

This traditionally-built house, surrounded by lush greenery is so peaceful that you forget its location in the suburbs. The terrace, covered by a bioclimatic pergola, is a hit during the summer, while the stylish interior is both tasteful and comfortable. Chef Jérémy Morin skilfully rolls out creative dishes: roast rack of veal, brioche of sweetbread, vanilla-laced artichoke and a gutsy gravy or roast monkfish in sumac with braised baby gem lettuce in a raspberry seasoning, creamy yoghurt and a red wine and balsamic vinegar sauce.

En Pleine Nature

★ Michelin€€€regional, french

Chef Sylvain Joffre promises and delivers fresh, subtle, 100% natural food. This authentic cook-gardener-gatherer makes the most of the herbs and vegetables from his own garden and from painstakingly sourced local producers. Sylvain is conscientious, serious and the antithesis of showy. He aims to serve first-rate food at prices that make sense, crafting each ingredient sincerely and truthfully, adding the occasional flourish by way of jus, coulis, plants and flowers… The tasteful interior is low-key with the bonus of alfresco dining shaded by parasols. Highly committed to the environment, the

Acte 2 Yannick Delpech

★ Michelin€€€€french, fine_dining

Yannick Delpech, previously chef of L'Amphitryon, returns to the stage for a second act with this atypical and charming restaurant. In a former sawmill, he combines fine dining with the bohemian spirit of a table d'hôtes. Soaking up an atmosphere created by music and a video projection, some 15 diners per seating are served a surprise set menu. Readable and indulgent, this authentic cuisine enhanced with robust-flavoured sauces and jus (the chef's trademark) never fails to make an impression: octopus cooked in red wine daube-style and married with lamb shoulder confit; red mullet with bottarga

Agapes

★ Michelin€€fine_dining

In the trendy, hipster district of Saint Aubin, this tiny bistro, taken over by Arnaud Darbas and Virginie Béziaud, conjures up crisp fresh dishes oozing with distinctive flavours. The technique and creativity of the youthful chef, who trained with the best, are impressive: green asparagus and a light frothy sabayon with smoked olive oil; line-caught hake from Saint Jean de Luz, yuzu-laced shellfish and roasted white asparagus; Ibaïama pork, varied textures of seasonal veggies, garlic emulsion and a punchy gravy. In a simply appointed yet inviting interior, Virginie seamlessly manages the fron

L'Équilibre

必比登€€Modern Cuisine, Farm to table

Run by an enthusiastic couple who believe in hearty, wholesome food, this restaurant fully deserves its resounding success. The chef skilfully works with fine market produce, illustrated by a perfectly cooked egg with a runny yolk, onions confit in white wine and shredded pork in wild garlic… Outstanding value for money and hits all the right buttons.

Cartouches

必比登€€Farm to table

In the picturesque and lively neighbourhood of Saint-Aubin, this tiny bistro is always busy! Chef Nicolas Brousse and his wife take great pleasure in serving up tasty, carefully prepared dishes. And in keeping with this spirit of conviviality, why not share a fine steak (butcher's choice – for two people)? This goes down very well with a natural wine from the extensive selection. The set menu changes every week.

L'Instant...

€€french

You can look forward to a modern gourmet interlude here ranging from an attractive set menu with choices (only one dessert) at lunchtime to a more ambitious lineup in the evening with ‘L’Instant Gourmet’ menu. Terrine of pot-au-feu with veggies, whipped horseradish sauce; roast fillet of trout, cumin-laced creamy split peas with a lemon-spiked emulsion of shellfish; French toast with salted butterscotch caramel. Alfresco dining in fine weather on the terrace. Popular with foodies and within easy reach of Toulouse.

Bistrot August

€€Traditional Cuisine

A stone's throw from rue Gabriel Péri, two young chefs have transformed an old wine cellar into an intimate bistro. Trained with the Ducasse group, Léopold Gillen is to be found in the kitchen, while Maxime Renvaze provides cordial and attentive service, as well as recommendations from a wine cellar composed of some 100 carefully selected labels. This seasonal, technical and flavourful cuisine features perfectly balanced seasoning and carefully crafted details: pâté en croûte with foie gras, pork, duck and venison; hay-smoked duck, squash and juniper juice. Great-value lunch set menu and short

Les Sales Gosses

€€french

Les Sales Gosses (naughty kids) chalks up its creative version of heart-warming bistro classics on large blackboards. The food is the work of chef Bruno, who is definitely top of the class! A great meal every time. And if it’s fully booked, there is now a Plan B: Le Bistrot, not far away, on Rue de l'Industrie.

Mantesino

€italian

The Naples-born chef, who used to be an engineer, has enthusiastically donned an apron (mantesino in Italian) and opened this small bistro in a street near the Église Saint-Aubin. He gives pride of place to his roots by tapping into the culinary traditions of Southern Italy, from Campania to Puglia. A far cry from stereotypical Italian fare, his no-nonsense bistro cuisine wins diners over by drawing solely on flavoursome, meticulously selected ingredients: mortadella from Bologna, hazelnuts from Piedmont, Ibaïama pork, as well as meat from Aveyron and vegetables from local growers. Uplifting!

L'alouette

€€Farm to table

Opposite the legendary Victor Hugo market, good food lovers rave about this friendly eatery. Aged rib of beef and line-caught hake rub shoulders, while a patriotic lineup of bistro classics (paupiette of poultry and girolles or rump steak and shallot sauce) cosies up to spring veggies from the next-door market stalls, like white asparagus jazzed up chorizo. To finish, whether you choose the profiterole or the rice pudding, you will be in bliss. A wholesome, feel-good vibe flanked by a terrace that is just the ticket for a drink before dinner.

Émile

€€regional, bistro

An appealing wine list, 100% house-made traditional cuisine that focuses on fresh produce and local producers and – the icing on the cake – a pretty terrace overlooking a lovely square. The star of the show is obviously the cassoulet, but the menu proposes plenty of delicious alternatives, all at reasonable prices.
