One of the few restaurants in Albi which are open on a Sunday and oh so pleasant?? as lovely as the town of Albi is, so is this place !
They have a lovely variety of menu, including for vegetarians.. I tried their greek salad and vegetarian pizza and they were both good ! My friends took 3 different variety of non vegetarian dishes and they were all very happy with it! ? Very pleasant staff, neatly maintained and a feel good experience ! ♥️
Totally recommend it to visitors going to Albi !

Salad was pretty plane not much to say about it. All vegetables were just boiled or steamed with no flavor, not even salt.
The Calzone was fine. All in all pretty mediocre. If the prices were better I would have given it 3, but for the price it gets 2.

The food was ok though nothing special, it is in line with the price you pay. Cheap-ish, good enough.
However, the service wasn't great. Had to wait for a while to get someone attention, then 2 orders mixed up, 2 waiters attending etc.
But, the worse is when I went to pay, 1 person from a table of 10 was ahead of me and paying his share , the other 9 still siting at the table, yet the waiter made me wait for the whole people to get up, slowly move to the till, each paying their one salad, their one main and their one drink, and the usual 'oh, no, I didn't have desert, this one is not mine, who hasn't paid his chocolate cake?'
When I understood what was happening (when 2 more people passed me by and paid, with the rest of the crowd still behind at the table getting up, looking for coats etc.), I kindly asked to squeeze in to pay for my table.
I was responded in the best snotty French way:
'Can't you see I'm busy!'
I kindly responded that, as a matter of fact, he is not, as he is only waiting for the rest of the party of 10 to come by, and that in the next 30 seconds nothing is going to happen, plenty of time for me to hand over my cash and get my change.
Of course, I'm a mere customer seeking a nice experience in a restaurant, i.e. i'm not much of value for their business, so I was responded logically 'That will be too complicated. Just wait I'll cash you in when I'm done'.
If only if was with a smile... but no.

Amapola Kitchen
The superlative location, at the foot of Pont Vieux overlooking the historic town and its stunning cathedral, is definitely Instagram worthy. This cleverly revamped pocket handkerchief bistro is in the hands of a former art historian, whose healthy, colourful, well-crafted dishes to be shared hit the spot every time. This unorthodox, fine food DJ mixes South American, Italian and Comorian influences, with a generous scattering of lacto fermented ingredients and a definite preference for organic sources, such as the Comorian-style minced beef flanked by red onion and chervil pickles and the delicious house houmous. Fine selection of organic and natural wines.

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!

La Table du Sommelier
A father-and-son team of trained sommeliers work in tandem in this pleasant contemporary bistro. The result is flavoursome, indulgent wine-based dishes that put a skilful new spin on the offerings of the local terroir, such as the fillet of blue ling with parsley, wild rice and sesame oil, or the raspberry and vanilla in sablé and mousse forms. The cellar boasts almost 500 wines, and in summer there are two terraces to choose from: beneath the pergola or in the open air. Highly recommended and excellent value for money.

L'Épicurien
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.
