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!

Installed since 1889 in the Esquirol district, this wine bar is classified as a heritage of the city of Toulouse. Barrels serving as tables, murals signed by Paul Almérie who used to pay for his drinks with his works of art give a unique touch to the first floor room. All kinds of wines, aperitifs and spirits are offered, with a plate of tapas to accompany them. Of course, one should not forget the famous quinquina which makes the reputation of the bar. For lunch, the establishment suggests varied menus according to the seasons and cooked with fresh products: kidney with mustard, pancakes with Armagnac, omelette with ceps, etc.
Members' reviews on AU PÈRE LOUIS
Déception totale
Les plats servis sont un véritable hommage à la gastronomie du Sud-Ouest, mettant en avant des produits frais et de saison. La carte de tapas, variée est idéale pour accompagner les discussions animées ou un apéritif détendu.
Mais le véritable trésor de "Au Père Louis", c'est sans aucun doute sa carte des vins. Sélectionnée avec soin et passion, elle propose une richesse et une diversité qui m'impressionnent. La connaissance et les conseils avisés du personnel enrichissent l'expérience, guidant les novices et les connaisseurs vers des accords parfaits avec leurs plats et tapas.
Hautement recommandé pour ceux qui cherchent à capturer l'essence de Toulouse.
Desserts moyen
Bon vin mais les bio ne sont pas indiqués sur la carte, dommage, les explications du serveurs ne nous ont pas convaincus...
Marge excessive sur les vins.
