Recommendations for Toulouse

[Haninger]

I just moved to Toulouse, France and would appreciate any recommendations for markets, bakeries, and dining. I'm interested in all types of food and price ranges, not just fancy restaurants. Thank you very much!

Saturday-Sunday's Figaro has an article on p 38 with lots of ratings. I'll be posting the summary on the Digest in the next 48 hours.

I wonder if "Le 7" is 7 Place St-Sernin, of the same address (05 62 30 05 30), near the Basilica. We had such a good dinner there several years ago that we returned twice more. Very good value for the money.

Don't forget to get back to us, please, after you have settled in, for your inside scoop on the restaurant scene in Toulouse. Like some of that great Toulousain Cassoulet!

Are you an American ex-pat? Why Toulouse?

Can give you two good possibilities that are right next to each other. Both are about one hour North of Toulouse in the countryside.

1) link to this place. Small stone cottage for two people. Recently renovated. Not normally a B & B, but I suspect that Jean would give you breakfast if you asked.

2) 2ond link. B & B run by a Belgian couple. Warm welcome assured. Bravo is a great cook so you can probably get dinner as well as breakfast if you like.

If you decide to book either one lets us know & you can come up to our place for a drink.

Very sweet... thanks!

I'm finding it hard to discover much written on egullet about Toulouse and its vicinity as far as dining. Am I missing something? Thanks!

[John Talbott]

There's one on the area but perhaps you've already seen it.
