The best grocery stores Toulouse

Maison Busquets has been welcoming gourmets since 1919 and tells us its story: Antoine Busquet, the first owner of the family line, works there all his life. It was his son, Joachim, who had the idea of specializing in the import of exotic fruits. Over the generations, the brand evolved towards delicatessen. Today, it welcomes you in a setting that has lost none of its rustic character. Wisely aligned on the shelves, many drinks await your palate. To accompany them, you will take with you some of the local specialities: foie gras, cassoulet, truffles, jams and other violet sweets.... Something to please you!
