L'Épicurien

Modern Cuisine · Bib

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 flourish

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!

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.

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.

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.

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 set
