Fun and entertainment Haute-Garrone

Père Louis is much more than a café, it's a Toulouse institution! The zinc has seen many Toulousans and connoisseurs of quinquina and Picon bière come and go since 1889! But the time for renewal has come, and as we enter the year of our Lord 2023, we welcome you to a renovated venue with a preserved spirit. The downstairs room retains its illustrious, protected charm, while the upstairs room has been beautifully modernized by the 4 owners, who are already active on the Toulouse scene. Take a lunch break with the unmissable porcini omelette, or enjoy an aperitif at lunch or dinner, and choose whether you prefer a sweet or dry cooked wine, or a quinquina. Long live Père Louis!

At Casino Barrière, you will find slot machines and gaming tables, but above all a performance hall that is now one of the most important stages in Toulouse. The room is comfortable, the stage is spacious and the technical equipment is state-of-the-art. Then go ahead! The international programme is rich and varied, offering more than 150 shows per year, from humorous shows to classical or contemporary ballet, musicals and concerts. Operetta or cabaret lovers? It's possible too. You will enjoy the dinner and show formula: a gourmet dinner and a show that we will never forget! To be offered or to be offered all year round.

Take the time to experience a fika break. It's happening at Café Fika, right next to the Capitol. Don't be surprised to meet the Swedish community there. Fika comes from the Scandinavian latitudes and their passion for this very fragrant beverage that they consume in large quantities. Understand coffee in slang, so to speak! This word has become synonymous with an art of living. We take the time to do ourselves good by accompanying our hot drink with a kanelbulle or brioche roll with cinnamon, sometimes with cardamom or with apples... The address is held by a French-Swedish couple who invites you to discover the specialities from the Nordic countries from breakfast to afternoon tea!

Just before celebrating its 110 years of existence, the Utopia, emblematic cinema in the heart of Toulouse, found its first name: The American Cosmograph! Overlooking its doors, a fresco that recalls that in 1907, the date of its creation, the posters were painted directly on the façades! The aim of this very popular cinema is: best represent film diversity. All films are projected in the original version. Cultural location and land of meetings, the American Cosmograph organizes various animations: cinemas, debates, pre-premiere, thematic programming, retrospectives… Here, neither ads nor confectionery. The films start at the said time and, in order to ensure your comfort, the late ones are invited to return to a next meeting. A room for curious and passionate people.

Soft music, a welcoming bench, a smile behind the counter, Café Papiche has what it takes to seduce you. Small but very cozy. His "lunch formula" advocates "homemade". The choice is between a soup of the day and fresh bread, also from the master's oven, or a piece of quiche, a dessert and a coffee of very high quality and selected with great care. No weariness for the regulars because the freshly squeezed juice also changes according to the products and the mood of the moment. Ditto for Sunday morning brunch. Hearty, tasty... you leave very happy because you are full of the mixture of flavours between here and elsewhere! Be careful, it's better to book!

Twenty years of cabaret for Le Kalinka. Here you'll find everything that spices up a night at the cabaret: singing, dancing, acrobatics, a few zests of sensuality, lots of humor and Berlin references. Élodie and Yohan, a talented couple of dancers, welcome you to a warm, human-sized venue. On Thursdays, it's apéro spectacles with an eclectic program, and on weekends, it's dinner shows. Smart tip: you can book a private evening.

Le Bijou celebrated its 35th birthday. There's no need to introduce this totally independent Toulouse concert venue, which is dedicated to unearthing new talent, the "not yet known", the little Toulousans, in the field of contemporary music (jazz, French chanson, rock, world music...). Located in the back room of a small neighborhood bistro serving a menu renewed daily with fresh produce from the local market, it has retained all its freshness and remains a place like no other, with an atmosphere always tinged with good-naturedness. A must-see... You'll be spoilt for choice, with almost 150 performances scheduled each year!

More than ever, we want to laugh. Not a small, restrained laugh, but a real, powerful, thunderous laugh! To laugh out loud again and again... For this, there is one address: Les 3T. A café-theatre that has built up a reputation and audience loyalty over the last 30 years. A Toulouse venue that knows how to welcome the best. Well-known comedians or those in the making. Whatever the show, the quality is there. Its plus: a proximity with the stage and the spectators. Elbow to elbow, like a group of friends, we call out and are called out from the stage! The success of the show requires you to get there early to choose your seat!

The goddess of land, fertility and rivers, founder of Ireland according to legend, gave his name to this very nice pub, located just a few steps from the canal du Midi and the Halle aux Grains! The animations to be followed here are numerous: concerts, retransmissions of football matches as rugby, evenings in good company! Beer flows afloat, tradition obliges, but you will also find whiskey, cocktails, ciders or smoothies. Groups are welcome, even with private space, for an anniversary or any other event.

Young people (from 10 years old) to seniors, beginners or insiders, enthusiasts of the trajectory can discover the basics or upgrade their French billiard game in weekly workshops. Introductory courses are also proposed during the year. This beautiful room of the Espace Saint-Cyprien, with 7 billiards, is also open to hourly rental. So for an hour or a lot more, put your calm and your address to the test, while confronting other opponents. 

Here we feel good, we are greeted with open arms, always with a smile, with great attention and sympathy. The nomadic garden style Tente tries to seduce, adding to the atmosphere a feeling of complete change. This tea salon has turned into Tunisian casbah, brown and orange hot tones, coordinated striped fabrics, sails, trendy furniture, designs and calligraphy on the walls… to get us better, especially at midday since we can now restore it. For lunch breaks, salads, salty pies, Tunisian bricks… Faithful to its world atmosphere, the Shambhala also develops its activities: Richer games, organisation of themed evenings, conversation courses in foreign languages, meditation, yoga… This place is unique, word of Petit Smart!

On the banks of the Canal du Midi, the Seventies is an atypical place combining advertising and billiard room. In the pub, the bar offers a map of about twenty beers, regularly complemented by season beers. The fans of whiskies will not be there: a wide range of quality products is offered, from the most classical to the surprising Japanese whiskies! For small faims, you can order bruschettas and some delicacies. On billiards, the Seventies is equipped for good evenings: ten pools, four American billiards, a French billiard and a snooker. Beginner? You can book special courses! If you enjoy rugby, football, baseball, hockey or basketball, you can also watch retransmissions on a giant screen. Finally, the Seventies also thought about fans of video games with consoles and special evenings. It's even possible to play on an authentic 1980 s! The musical atmosphere is rather pop-rock, but Sunday is more oriented blues while on Mondays, the new wave of the eighties is on its way. It's hard to get bored at Seventies!

"Chapristea de Chapristea", there are cats in this café! Indeed, you're not fooled... You're in a neko café, the Toulouse version, under beautiful brick vaults! In other words, a tea room where adorable fur balls are just waiting to curl up on your lap! Here, pussycats of all stripes enjoy total freedom. The concept was developed worldwide after seeing the benefits and soothing effects on our feline friends. As well as scratching your cat (some are up for adoption, so ask away!), you'll find a wide range of scented teas, organic coffees, hot chocolates and delicacies... A salon that's sure to do you good. Chat then!

This English tea room is located on a pretty sunny square in the city centre. In the summer, you can sit on the terrace under the large white parasols. In winter, the well-heated room on the first floor allows you to enjoy a moment of calm. You can enjoy a cappuccino or a generous hot chocolate, unless you prefer to taste a tea: lapsang souchong, Formosa tea, fruity black and green teas... Gourmets can also enjoy a Pavlova, a Pecan pie or a cheesecake! As for cold drinks, a freshly squeezed orange juice or, a house speciality, a great red fruit smoothie served chilled. A victim of its own success, the Flower's Café is often crowded, but a scooter rides along the nearby Avenue d'Alsace-Lorraine, allowing you to enjoy a wide selection of drinks and pastries during your shopping day!

At Mr.Madame, chic and originality intertwine like the initials of their golden logo against the blue backdrop of Toulouse nights. With its bright blue facade contrasting with the surrounding pink, its warm wood interior and its relaxed atmosphere, this is the setting for your intimate or festive evenings. You'll love the cocktails, with Raspberry Mojito and St-Germain Spritz at the top of the list, accompanied by original tapas (Savoyard croque, shrimp and octopus fritters with turmeric, gambas kadaïf...) or exceptional platters (generous assortments of cooked dishes with multiple flavors). All you have to do is make a reservation!

Happy birthday... Bapz! 20 years already that this honourable tea room with a so british air welcomes you in a friendly way for a break. Everything here is anafternoon tea-time experience. The flowery earthenware dishes, the parasols and umbrellas on the walls, the fabric-covered benches and, of course, the delicious scones and other delicacies on display. The English brunch, meaning a mixture of sweet and savoury, is served every day. At lunchtime, the dish of the day is presented in copious plates with a British spirit. Don't forget the bakery section, with hot breads from the oven for your home-made club sandwiches!

When you think of pastries, you automatically think of sugar. We salivate in anticipation of a creamy, praline-filled Paris-Brest, an all-chocolate tartelette or a very watery baba! But what would you say if we told you: pastry is salty! When you think about it, you can imagine anything, and that's exactly what Marie did. With a CAP in design and pastry, she makes savory Paris-Brest with goat's cheese mixed with blackberry, or Roquefort with pear, or a Saint-Honoré with smoked trout and wasabi. As Le Petit Futé has tasted, we can confirm: it's good, super good! This pretty green tea room is so welcoming that it's hard to leave.

The Agency. Blue sign and window display where some photos invite you to discover destinations that could make you dream. The journey has just begun. You push the back door and... Surprise! A refined tripot, Art Deco, with intimate and hushed spaces... you plunge into the time of Prohibition in a clandestine bar of the Roaring Twenties! The magic happens right away. Laos, Peru, Jordan... we travel from one cocktail to another (new and daring ones). At the helm, the enchanting Johanna. Behind the bar, a world cuisine held by Matthieu. Because you can also dine and savor cocktail dishes in this agency which has everything to seduce you.

The Hopscotch has taken up residence in one of the little streets that stretch out near the Capitol. Here, the Scottish tradition is respected: barrels and armchairs in worn leather, whisky with over 350 references to taste, from Scotland and all over the world! As for suds, in addition to traditional draughts, you'll discover home-brewed beers, because the pub is also a microbrewery that's creative to say the least: Nothing Toulouse, brewed from chocolatines! Good atmosphere and good spirit, definitely one of our favorite addresses.
