The best bars and cafés Midi-Pyrénées

On the Place Castellane, the Café des Arts spreads its bistro menu and cocktails on an impressive terrace. It has become a very popular spot in the city centre and is now a lively place. Hungry people and night owls love to go there because of its beautiful location at the top of rue Saint-Guilhem, its pleasant decor and its hearty dishes. The address is divided into three areas: the large terrace, the bar on the ground floor and the room upstairs, which consists of a few tables with tablecloths and stone walls.

Historic building of the city of Montauban, the Nautic was built in 1933, it housed then the rowing club of the city. After major work carried out in 2019 by Christophe, the Nautic is now a favorite place for Montauban outings. There is a lounge bar for the greatest happiness of night owls who can dance until dawn. In fine weather, the bar opens onto the banks of the Tarn, offering a unique panoramic view of the river. In winter, the bar is warmer with a decoration that evolves with the seasons.

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!

For once the Bureau is not moving backwards… Franck'has been managing the bar for four years. In this brasserie in the very beautiful décor, many atmospheres blend. Professional customers in the week and during the day, place of exit for a part of youth "in the evening, and family on weekends, there are for all ages. On the map, calf's paupiette in the county, beans and leeks, or grilled ham, rice and piperade. The office also has a wide selection of wines and a wide range of beers. A brasserie without prétention, frills and like you love them. Please do not confuse this place with the old "At the Office", which is now a concert pub called the "London Tavernel".

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!

This wine and beer bar is located on a small quiet square where a good part of the terrace is spread out. Inside, it looks like a large tavern made of red briquettes, cement tiles on the floor, a large counter with 5 Belgian beer pumps and 30 homemade beers and wine barrels everywhere for decoration. They organise concerts on some Fridays. And for a better feast with friends, Jérémy also offers boards to share, baked camemberts with dried fruit or herbs and desserts for gourmets.

L'Argo, as it's known here, is a veritable institution. People come here for a drink overlooking the harbour, to relax on the cosy terrace or sip a delicious cocktail. Since Tommy took over the reins of the family bar, l'Argonaute has quickly become a port staple. The completely revamped bar gives the place a zen and trendy atmosphere. We also appreciate the new, simple and effective menu of homemade tapas: trio of mini burgers, crunchy chicken, beef or salmon tartare, salads... On Mondays in July and August, don't miss the live concerts.

After wine bars, beer and mineral oysters, here comes the age of the oxygen bar, the latest avatar at the trendy cafés. So connected that obviously it likes many gay guys and their friends! In Nîmes, it was on the Esclafidous Square that this new trend blew the idea to Salim Watwat, the manager of the establishment. From the entrance, we discover the oxygen machines, the kinds of large central units equipped with a casque helmet… No, no, you're not intubé and you don't think one second to a hospital, which is complicated! For maximum efficiency, the session lasts 20 minutes, a moment of relaxation, where you can gently breathe fresh air from oil smell essential to assainissantes properties. Of course it does not replace a real air bowl but certainly boosts it! The O 2 LA is a bar-restaurant that benefits from the inventiveness of a chef who has worked at Alexandre (traditional traditional menu with fresh products). Another reason to go? The hotel was very close to the city Centre and the city centre. You breathe!

In the afternoon, comfortably installed in sofas and armchairs, we come to drink tea, coffee or mulled wine. Afterwards, you can enjoy typical dishes and until very late you can taste craft beers from North and South Catalonia, and discover the "archaeological" wines elaborated by J-M according to recipes written in the 14th century by Arnaud de Villeneuve, doctor and alchemist. Every Saturday, the evenings are enlivened by concerts, and other unmissable events such as the free scene jams on the^first Thursday of the month.

Sheltered from the main roads, nestled in a small street, Katia's store offers a place of sweet and savory delicacies, a tea room with a resolutely contemporary design and an artist's glass roof allowing you to follow the conception of the creations live.You will be able to taste banoffees, chocolate tarts, lemon praline/hazelnut tarts, caramel/chocolate babka...You will also be able to enjoy the lunch formula including a dish and a dessert with tarts, wraps and salads according to the menu of the moment.

The world of Chapeau Thé is full of smiles and delights. It is the perfect opportunity to spend a convivial moment around gourmet proposals. In a bucolic setting worthy of a fairy tale, Marion and Mathieu orchestrate the place like virtuosos, so much so that the address has become a must in the town. A lively meeting place, the pie shop is the setting for numerous workshops, the home of a grocery corner and a cave of delights. You can eat - on the spot or to take away - the salads and pies of the house. Everything is homemade and served in a good mood.

Under the leadership of the charismatic Jérôme Samazan, everyone can enjoy the simple pleasure of a good bottle of wine in the cocooning atmosphere of a cosy house. He offers selected wines from here and elsewhere. To complete this gustatory journey, platters of Iberian and Catalan charcuterie as well as mature cheeses are offered on the slate. The good mood is there with a musical program that evolves throughout the night and animations that give rhythm to this warm house.

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.

Everything is said in the name of the establishment. Here, jazz is king! In the background, always. Especially on weekends, with the arrival of regional jazz groups (free entry generally). If the place is only open 3 days a week, it prefers to offer quality rather than quantity and the owner, passionate about this musical trend, has made his choice (a choice we totally approve of, by the way). Better to swing less often but better, one could say... Which of course does not prevent you from having a drink or even a meal.

This restaurant is worthy of a Hollywood blockbuster. Between Jack Sparrow's pirate and galion tavern, the brand is picturesque, relaxed and musical. This bar is one of the most atypical places in the resort. Daniel and his team, all proudly wearing their pirate clothes, go to this place with relaxed smile and smile. There is a very large selection of cocktails, from the most classic to the most extravagant. Thus, mojito, ti-punch, tequila tequila and other planters are on schedule. At lunchtime, tapas is available; and, from 23 pm, you can eat the day's suggestion. Regularly themed evenings are organized, such as the Creole or Sanitary evenings and Colombo who pimentent the evenings. Privateers friends, beautiful fiestas in perspective in this tip of the Caribbean.

At Le Moulin à Café, you can sit out on the terrace to watch passers-by, or in the refined, intimate interior lounge, with its late ^19th-century ceiling adorned with a superb chandelier, and a floor in the purest Italian style. We come here to enjoy a range of teas, coffee beans and gourmet drinks, and at snack time, to indulge in our mouth-watering home-made pastries! Before you leave, you can choose your own loose tea from the library to take home and keep the pleasure of this sweet break going.

An urban planning project created a few years ago, Place Montcalm is a good fit for this neighborhood bar. Les Deux Mondes was able to install its large terrace on the central median and on both sides of the semi-pedestrian street. As soon as the weather is fine, the brasserie formula at lunchtime or the full salad plates attract a lot of people. Here, no fuss is made, it's a good, relaxed place to eat. The service is pleasant and warm; here you are not rushed to take your coffee and free the place, the key word is enjoy.

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!

Somewhere between Scotland and the Wild West and my "cabin in Canada" with walls made of logs, you'll spend an evening out of the ordinary in this former hangar transformed into a cosy bar. Seven axe-throwing lanes and a shuriken lane let you test your lumberjack skills with your friends! The darts here are razor-sharp. Charcuterie and cheese boards, Meduz and Triple A beers and local wines such as Cave Saint-Maurice's Temps de châtaignes accompany your evening, along with imported Canadian beers.

Le Barberousse is the night rendezvous for rum lovers. At this famous pirate ship's buccaneering port of call, you'll be able to enjoy some 50 different flavors served in shooters: pineapple, banana, coconut, strawberry, ginger, lychee, kiwi, blueberry, vanilla-cinnamon, fir or even licorice, by the glass or bottle, there's something for everyone until late at night. The bar also serves traditional planters, a speciality of the West Indies. An address to be frequented in moderation, but ideal for the first student parties.

At the heart of the intimate courtyard of a nice hotel, Laurie and Alexandra (mother and daughter) welcome you with smile and natural elegance. From breakfast to lunch, it is always nice to take a quiet and relaxing break during Tea Time. From 10 a. m. to p. m. you can enjoy a delicious French breakfast or a cross-country brunch accompanied by a tea chosen from one hundred references selected only from the great tea specialist, the Theodor house. At lunchtime, we offer fresh and delicious day pies accompanied by fresh organic salads. moreover nice salads are also served with their toast (foie gras mi, pa con tomato, bread in Maroilles…). As for home-made desserts, it will be difficult to choose between the tarte raspberry pie, the crumble apple pie, the pie pie, the meringuée lemon pie or the sweet chestnut cream and many other amazing delicacies that can also be tasted at the time of taste. You don't like tea? No worries, excellent coffee, creamy homemade chocolate, or any soft drinks at your convenience will be served. In winter, hot cinnamon wine and its cakes ravigotent cautious.

Simon and Bastien Villaret, brothers and co-managers, opened this Italian craft Glacier at two steps from the Arena in May 2016. After a stay in Italy where they discovered Italian ice-creams, the two brothers decided to operate a professional conversion by opening a homemade glacier coffee. All Italian coffees are represented from Lavazza to cappuccino through the macchiato latte. The artisanale, artisanale, is made home for the feast of all, to be tasted in bags or sorbets. These are made with fresh seasonal fruits and all creams include whole milk, good fresh cream and 100% natural, gluten-free scents, please from Italy. A small Alpine landscape in the heart of the Roman "is not missing!

The owners of the place have put everything they love here and dressed this half-bar half-brothel of hundreds of books, vinyls, furniture and various objects to hunt.... The decoration, cosy as one would wish, therefore evolves according to sales, when the welcome remains invariably warm. Between two coffees, the establishment offers concert evenings, with a pretty menu of cocktails.... And cheese or sausage platters. We're in Aveyron anyway! The place is particularly popular on Saturday mornings at market time, for a coffee or an aperitif in good company.

"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!

In a single place of 400 m², the wine and beer cellar, the bar and the modular auditorium with a capacity of 250 spectators are united. First of all, we like the beautiful and well laid out shop where nearly 300 references of beers from all over the world are sold, with an incredible number of craft beers. Then, we discover the warm and friendly bar area with its decoration made of barrels as tables and a cosy corner with comfortable armchairs. Two or three times a month, the Vinochope is transformed into a real concert/show room.

This coffee shop is a must in the Gourdonnais area. Nora and Cédric are at the helm of the coffee shop, creating a place where people can meet, relax and enjoy each other's company. Here, people meet over coffee or tea, just as they would in their own living rooms. Concerts and evening events regularly punctuate the coffee shop, as the seasons change. Atmosphere guaranteed. Enjoy board games and a library, a cosy workspace and, this year, a thrift shop that completes the site's activities. To be discovered urgently.

Opened since 2010 by knowledge lovers, it is a timeless place where culture, conviviality, discovery and relaxation are mixed. In association with the Terra Nova bookstore in Toulouse, this bookstore has more than 2600 books, a vast choice of French and foreign literature, poetry and other genres. It is the place of many cultural gatherings and serves as a backdrop for rich animations. If you are hungry, you can eat on the spot thanks to the bistro part. A magical and original place!

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!

Of course, the bakery offers a large choice of breads with various flours, but not only. At the back of the store, there is a tea room, exquisitely furnished. In winter, the fireplace gives the place a warm and friendly atmosphere. Sitting on the comfortable benches in front of a delicately scented tea or an old-fashioned chocolate, accompanied by a sugar crepe or blueberry pie, becomes a real moment of pleasure. You can also enjoy an excellent breakfast with the good pastries of the store.

Opened in autumn 2018, this young address is set up opposite the city's covered market and is run by a passionate couple. He is Brazilian, she is local and owned a similar address in London for several years. Together they run this vegetarian establishment with talent! They favour local producers and make delicious proposals on the spot. On the terrace or in the cosy room of the establishment, you can take your time to enjoy your lunch, coffee or tea break in peace.

This charming little coffee shop offers delicious, generous brunches. Gone are the days of butter toast, scrambled eggs and filter coffee: here, you can enhance the pleasure with eggs Benedict with shredded pork on seeded bread, with an orange blossom waffle, mascarpone and fresh fruit, with moist pancakes topped with crispy bacon... You can also melt for a bagel, a mixed salad, a salmon-avocado-fresh cheese toast, a cookie, a bowl of fruit, a vegan or gluten-free plate. Homemade drinks and fine coffees are also available.

You don't just come to the Cour du Baron to drink canons from local producers or to taste quality tapas. You come for the atmosphere. It is difficult to describe because it is unique and unclassifiable. In the dining room or on the terrace, you can enjoy real local tapas accompanied by the best juices of the department. Here you can have a quick chat, talk about the world or about the passing of time. And as in a real pub, concerts are regularly organised, especially on Sunday afternoons.

Tet is "the place to be" for aficionados of the city's good food and trendy music scene. The speed of this success is due to two things: a dynamic team and a concept that combines the local café, the friendly little eatery and the eclectic music scene. On one of the city's most beautiful terraces (because it's vast, airy and located on the banks of the Têt), you can enjoy a hybrid cuisine, both local and fusion. There are numerous events throughout the year. Le Petit Futé came back delighted!

Café Bun is one of the city's coffee temples. Run by a passionate roaster, the establishment has all the right cards in its hand. Indeed, after studying physics, Luc - the owner - took the time to train with Antoine Netien (Best Roaster of France 2011). Since he opened his café, he has been highlighting the craft and celebrating the richness of the flavours he offers. The coffees and teas are to be discovered and enjoyed on the spot or to take away, they are accompanied by tempting delicacies.

The Urban Club, though small, offers a great musical ambience, favoring programming far removed from commercial trends. Modern and metallic, it favors intimate encounters. Music videos are played on the walls, and the bartender offers specialties much appreciated by shooters. Right in the center of town, it has plenty of parking spaces. Fred, the owner, offers a warm welcome (and a strong character) to customers aged 18 to 70, and he's keen to mix the generations! An ideal place to dance in a lively atmosphere, despite the limited space.

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!

If the dry, gewürztraminer, viognier and other white grape varieties are not badly requested at the Halles Bar, the stall turned into a counter is not just a drink. The small coffee-growing cafés or snacks in the morning also accompany traders'discussions among themselves. At about 10 p. m. other clients start to arrive. The Bar des Halles welcomes both late risers, hikers or lovers of good love: Cold meats, cheeses, omelettes, often Taste Activists, are at the cutting. Oysters by six, when it's the season… The local people and branchitude like to see it before or after the races. Here, the issues of nîmois are rising and dismantle. A place, crowded on the weekend, which has been able to stay user friendly and participate in giving a real soul to the halls.

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.

Lily Germ is a meeting place for cultural exchange, with a warm and friendly atmosphere. Lily Germ offers a selection of wines, beers, cocktails and specialties to sample while enjoying musical selections and film screenings.

In the heart of the village, at the foot of a stone building, we discover this charming address with a warm atmosphere and a well cared decoration. Under the vaults, the welcome is friendly. One comes to settle down to share a bottle of wine on a high table, to shop at the wine merchant's to take advantage of this local business, but also to enjoy a convivial evening. We nibble on a plate of cold cuts, cheeses or a vegetarian option. We garnish a few slices of bread with spreads and we melt over a dessert in a glass.

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!

In the heart of an old train station converted into a boutique, Biscuiterie Védère invites you to a unique gourmet experience. In addition to its homemade sweets, it features regional delicacies.
