Fun and entertainment Midi-Pyrénées

Zeste is a nice address in Millau, a place to go in the city, where you can enjoy exquisite delicacies at any time of the day or have a lunch. In this tea room-pastry shop-small restaurant, Arielle, who trained at the famous Lenôtre, prepares everything herself: from the toast, pasta or full plates offered at lunchtime to the pastries, which some people consider the best in Millau! The millefeuille or the caramel tart are well worth the service that some people find a little long.

One feels immediately at home in this small tea room. Evelyne Fournier treats us with her homemade cakes, accompanied by delicious teas, of which there is a vast choice. For lunch, she offers us a formula of savory treats, mostly organic or vegetarian in one plate, with among others a carrot and cumin cake, gluten-free forgotten vegetable pies or a cream of market vegetables, a broccoli chestnut clafoutis. But everything depends on the season and everything is so good that the salon is quickly full.

Every day, from Tuesday to Saturday, at 4.45pm precisely, this unique establishment in the Ruthenan landscape opens its doors to a clientele thirsty for some lively mixtures. Aricia, the barman, and Rémi, the sommelier, have combined their Franco-Australian experience in fine establishments to create a quality liquid menu. In addition to the wines, from the most affordable to the most sophisticated, 16.45 serves excellent cocktails. From the famous Pina Colada to creations prepared on demand, the team makes it a point of honour to use good products and appropriate glassware.

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!

The casino of Lacaune offers a beautiful space of games but not only! You will also find a bar, a restaurant with about 40 seats and a club-dancing open on Saturdays. At the bar, aperitif every evening with snacks. Since the end of the 1920's, the casino of Lacaune-les-Bains has been attracting a select clientele with its dancing, jazz and baccarat games. Today, slot machines have replaced baccarat, and the dance hall has been transformed into a club. Hungry for a bite to eat? Good news: the casino has a restaurant, the Ardoise!

Creativity, eco-responsibility, quality and conviviality! More than a dozen different beers, all organic and brewed on site. Beer craftsmen, meeting in SCOP. Fermentation, styles, recipes - they're inexhaustible on the subject, and they'll share their passion with you in their store or behind their bar. The hangar is the first "Tap Room" (the bar of a brewery) in Ariège, and has been for 5 years now! When the weather's fine, it hosts concerts, shows and food trucks on its vast terrace. A must-see in the Couserans!

At Casino Barrière, you will find slot machines and gaming tables, but above all a performance hall that is now one of the most important stages in Toulouse. The room is comfortable, the stage is spacious and the technical equipment is state-of-the-art. Then go ahead! The international programme is rich and varied, offering more than 150 shows per year, from humorous shows to classical or contemporary ballet, musicals and concerts. Operetta or cabaret lovers? It's possible too. You will enjoy the dinner and show formula: a gourmet dinner and a show that we will never forget! To be offered or to be offered all year round.

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!

Just before celebrating its 110 years of existence, the Utopia, emblematic cinema in the heart of Toulouse, found its first name: The American Cosmograph! Overlooking its doors, a fresco that recalls that in 1907, the date of its creation, the posters were painted directly on the façades! The aim of this very popular cinema is: best represent film diversity. All films are projected in the original version. Cultural location and land of meetings, the American Cosmograph organizes various animations: cinemas, debates, pre-premiere, thematic programming, retrospectives… Here, neither ads nor confectionery. The films start at the said time and, in order to ensure your comfort, the late ones are invited to return to a next meeting. A room for curious and passionate people.

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!

Twenty years of cabaret for Le Kalinka. Here you'll find everything that spices up a night at the cabaret: singing, dancing, acrobatics, a few zests of sensuality, lots of humor and Berlin references. Élodie and Yohan, a talented couple of dancers, welcome you to a warm, human-sized venue. On Thursdays, it's apéro spectacles with an eclectic program, and on weekends, it's dinner shows. Smart tip: you can book a private evening.

Le Bijou celebrated its 35th birthday. There's no need to introduce this totally independent Toulouse concert venue, which is dedicated to unearthing new talent, the "not yet known", the little Toulousans, in the field of contemporary music (jazz, French chanson, rock, world music...). Located in the back room of a small neighborhood bistro serving a menu renewed daily with fresh produce from the local market, it has retained all its freshness and remains a place like no other, with an atmosphere always tinged with good-naturedness. A must-see... You'll be spoilt for choice, with almost 150 performances scheduled each year!

More than ever, we want to laugh. Not a small, restrained laugh, but a real, powerful, thunderous laugh! To laugh out loud again and again... For this, there is one address: Les 3T. A café-theatre that has built up a reputation and audience loyalty over the last 30 years. A Toulouse venue that knows how to welcome the best. Well-known comedians or those in the making. Whatever the show, the quality is there. Its plus: a proximity with the stage and the spectators. Elbow to elbow, like a group of friends, we call out and are called out from the stage! The success of the show requires you to get there early to choose your seat!

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.

Young people (from 10 years old) to seniors, beginners or insiders, enthusiasts of the trajectory can discover the basics or upgrade their French billiard game in weekly workshops. Introductory courses are also proposed during the year. This beautiful room of the Espace Saint-Cyprien, with 7 billiards, is also open to hourly rental. So for an hour or a lot more, put your calm and your address to the test, while confronting other opponents.
