The best French cuisine 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.

In the heart of a residential area beautifully surrounded by trees, Chalet de Biscay is one of the few restaurants to offer a menu including more than half is composed of fish specialities. A unique signature in the department, famous for its creativity and cool quality, rigorously selected. The talent of the chef draws from these delicacies and invites to the table of the daring dishes such as fillet of turbo with olive oil or the sole seasoned with a mushroom fondue. We also recommend apple sweetbreads and their financière sauce, a subtle and delicate creation. Local is never far away and fresh vegetables accompany each dish, to better sublimating them. The traditional cuisine changes with time and surprises follow the seasons. In a modernised dining room with shades of grey, the desserts are in the same excellence and roasted pear tarte tatin or in syrup competes with a choice of delicious pancakes, especially those with blueberries or Armagnac. Le Chalet de Biscay ensures the cuisine of an old smallholding providing group meals from 30 people or those of the major events of life.
