In this location between the Marché des Carmes (covered market) and the antiques quarter, chef Guillaume Monboise has created a new space for foodies. This former tearoom done out in soothing cream hues boasts a brand new kitchen that opens out onto the restaurant floor – ideal for this talented chef who loves to have direct contact with his customers. In keeping with this philosophy, the service is professional and relaxed, and immediately puts you at ease. The dishes are enhanced with invigorating and refreshing seasonings – take the sea bass cooked skin on and served with a green olive sorbet and grated bottarga for saltiness.

Toulouse - FRANCE

L'Hippi'curien

At this small restaurant in an old building with exposed brick and pebble interior walls, diners have two options: excellent value for money at lunchtime or more elaborate cuisine in the evening with the single set menu. The new chef, who has a particular fondness for France's South-West, makes the best seasonal ingredients the focus of his set menus: grilled green asparagus, roast fillet of duckling, bluefin tuna from Saint-Jean-de-Luz etc. Attentive service.

Hortùs

Hortus is Latin for "garden" and indeed plants are at the heart of the cuisine of chef Clément Lessoud (former second-in-command to Ludovic Turac at the restaurant Une Table au Sud in Marseille). This creative, healthy and eco-minded cooking (ie made using organic produce and limited meat) is an ode to the South of France, from the Mediterranean to the Atlantic. His signature style is a predilection for herbaceous notes and bitterness, as found in green asparagus, bottarga, tangy pickled red onions, creamy carrot purée with bitter orange and bergamot cream, or roast turbot with artichoke.

Les Têtes d'Ail

This is the place for wholesome bistronomic fare from southwest France! Market-fresh, flavoursome dishes that keep pace with the seasons, well-selected local produce, excellent value for money (particularly at lunchtime), all of which in a busy shopping high street near Place des Carmes. Invariably packed, which is always a good sign!

Cécile

In the lively, bustling Carmes neighbourhood, a close-knit young team welcomes you to this modern bistro with a wood-decked veranda, large open kitchen and contemporary decor. The short menu is inspired by a real mix of cultures: exotic touches are incorporated into dishes such as Thai duck tartare and farm-reared pork loin with mango and pomegranate.

Genty Magre

In the street of the same name, this bistro adds a joyful, even delicate spin to French country cooking, with special mention for the house speciality: cassoulet with duck confit and sausages, served on ceramic plates. Flawless preparations and high-flying seasoning; good value for money.

Mantesino

The Naples-born chef, who used to be an engineer, has enthusiastically donned an apron (mantesino in Italian) and opened this small bistro in a street near the Église Saint-Aubin. He gives pride of place to his roots by tapping into the culinary traditions of Southern Italy, from Campania to Puglia. A far cry from stereotypical Italian fare, his no-nonsense bistro cuisine wins diners over by drawing solely on flavoursome, meticulously selected ingredients: mortadella from Bologna, hazelnuts from Piedmont, Ibaïama pork, as well as meat from Aveyron and vegetables from local growers. Uplifting!

Les Planeurs

A Japanese chef and his partner have opened this unusual establishment in a deliberately bohemian and offbeat setting. The French cuisine is precise, original, balanced and flavoursome, illustrated by a risotto of poultry and shellfish, rich in seafaring aromas or roast apricots in rosemary served with homemade yoghurt ice cream. Good value for money.
