• L'ÉpicurienBib Luck has nothing to do with the current reputation of this downtown venue, facing Jean Jaurès Fountain, as the darling of the town’s discerning epicureans. The stripped-back interior sports a distinctly Scandinavian feel, which given the chef’s Swedish origins is hardly a surprise. On the culinary front, he deploys his undisputed talent, adding a new twist to French classics and conjuring up enticing recipes in tune with the era: generous portions, well crafted and oozing with flavour. The intelligent wine list and crack table staff, as professional as they are friendly, add the final flourish951m
• Amapola Kitchen The premium location at the foot of Pont Vieux, overlooking the historic town and cathedral, is eminently Instagram worthy. The savvily revamped dinky bistro is run by a former art historian, whose healthy, colourful, well-crafted dishes hit the spot. This unorthodox, fine food DJ mixes South American, Italian and Comorian influences, with a scattering of lacto-fermented ingredients and a preference for organic sources. First-class organic and natural wines.122m
• Alchimy In the heart of the old town, this handsome Art Deco building is home to a contemporary-style brasserie with an attractive glazed roof and an imposing Murano chandelier – a pleasant setting in which to peruse a menu packed with enticing options. Using local produce, the chef puts his own spin on the classics: seared salmon gravlax served with a mushroom salad; a fine cut of Tarn pork; a new version of tarte Tatin with Granny Smith opaline. Pure alchemy!635m
• La Taverne Besson This is an original Taverne with its contemporary, elegant, light - filled decor – and a terrace giving onto the countryside. Enjoy the enticing food, blending good local ingredients and original touches. You can also stay the night in one of the cleverly designed guestrooms.4.8km
• Vigne en FouleBib A restaurant, bistro, wine bar and wine shop all in one in the heart of Gaillac. This light-filled space with an open kitchen meets all your dining needs. Julien Bourdariès cooks up bistro-style cuisine, complemented by a selection of regional charcuterie and cheeses, and, in season, a truffle menu. His dishes are indulgent – think cod loin with risotto-style fregola sarda and a lemon and fresh herb condiment. The wine list features over 200 different labels. A convivial location, with a room upstairs available for private hire.19.9km
• Inicio In the homeland of Jean Jaurès, this restaurant occupies what was once the property of Carmaux Mining Company. Unsurprisingly, it is an imposing building with all the elements of a classic bourgeois interior – herringbone floorboards, mouldings and a marble fireplace. It is invariably packed to capacity (tables get booked up a week in advance). Mexican chef Yazmine Geze has struck on a culinary formula that is winning over the locals and their palates. Mediterranean cuisine with a Mexican twist, for instance vegetarian toastaditas or flame-grilled beef. There's a short, beautifully crafted set13.7km
