The food was amazing and the staff was great. Our waiter was Marco who spoke English and was brilliant, even helping with translations we have struggled with in the past when ordering. Would definitely go back again and can't wait until we do.

Superb restaurant. The ambiance was very pleasant and the service was warm, friendly and welcoming. My wife and I visited at lunchtime and we chose the "Air" menu: the food was fantastic - the best we had had in Albi. We thoroughly enjoyed our time at La Forge.

The next day: we went again! Different menu choices and the food was just as good. The service was impeccable and helped make the experience one to remember. An excellent restaurant!

An exceptional experience in all respects. The marinated sea bass starter was outstanding and the Averyron beef was just superb. Excellent service in a very warm and welcoming ambiance. The restoration of the space is an architectural triumph. Very much recommended.

Our lunch was excellent in every respect and look forward to returning. A very good variety of menu options so suit most tastes and apetites.

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.
