The best restaurants Midi-Pyrénées

Chez Pito is a traditional hotel-restaurant located in the village of Busque, 3 minutes from Graulhet. The restaurant offers many lunch and dinner options every day. Like Pito, the chef, the restaurant combines authenticity, simplicity, good food and good humour. The bar, in the centre of this large house, is a real invitation to parties with friends. A pleasant stopover in a local bistro, where you can eat a camembert in the oven with bacon, a board of local pork, marbled frogs' legs, lamb sweetbreads with morels sauce, duck breasts and ribs grilled over a wood fire, various salads, but also pasta and about twenty pizzas over a wood fire, all accompanied by a wine list from the Southwest and elsewhere. Opened ten years ago, this establishment is also a hotel with spacious rooms. Some are family and one of them even has a mezzanine, very practical to supervise children.

You have to slip into a small street in the St. Roch district to find the entrance to this Ali Baba's cave. In this astonishing establishment, devoted to the cuisine of the Maghreb, you'll experience a change of scenery. In addition to the food, the owners have invested in the decor, the atmosphere and the show to allow a total escape. The room seems to be straight out of the tales of a Thousand and One Nights: furniture, mirrors, earthenware, red and gold decoration… Everything comes from Morocco. In the middle of this setting, the specialties of the country parade at a high speed rhythm, it must be said that the reputation of the restaurant precedes it. Finally, on Saturdays, an oriental dancer comes to entertain already charmed guests.
