The best bars and cafés Midi-Pyrénées

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.

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!

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.

The Hopscotch has taken up residence in one of the little streets that stretch out near the Capitol. Here, the Scottish tradition is respected: barrels and armchairs in worn leather, whisky with over 350 references to taste, from Scotland and all over the world! As for suds, in addition to traditional draughts, you'll discover home-brewed beers, because the pub is also a microbrewery that's creative to say the least: Nothing Toulouse, brewed from chocolatines! Good atmosphere and good spirit, definitely one of our favorite addresses.

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.

In a refined atmosphere, with a hint of Scandinavian style combined with a few touches of Toulouse bricks that warm the place up, calm and well-being accompany you once you have passed through the door. Ideal for working while enjoying freshly squeezed juices, tchai tea or coffee! The coffee is just delicious, without bitterness, round in the mouth, roasted by our friends from Bordeaux ovenheavenbx!

At Zaza Café Galerie, the ideal way of life is to consume responsibly. It starts with the decor, with vintage furniture, especially Formica, for a total seventies look.

The taffy machines line up neatly on the counter, just waiting for you to enjoy an authentic evening. But be warned, as the trio at the head of the establishment make it clear: this isn't the home of the Irish! Drink London Pride or MeanTime with nibbles. Enjoy!

Do you know this beautiful bistronomic address, a favorite of the Petit futé, nestled on the banks of the Canal du Midi? No ? Then, at snack time, go through the door of this haven of peace and refinement, designed by Léa Charnoudie, to taste the home-made pastries created by the pastry chef: Jérémy Nino. Gourmandise always, but a research towards the use of less sugar, for our well-being and because the tastes change! One Sunday a month, the brunch is served on the terrace or in the superb veranda.

Café Populaire, known as "café pop" or "popu" to those familiar with the place, has seen generations of students on the go! Its success is due above all to its very popular pricing policy: conveniently located just a stone's throw from Jean-Jaurès, it offers the chance to quench your thirst in a convivial atmosphere, with a Happy Hour that's all the rage, as each evening has its own theme. The setting is far from trendy, and the furnishings are rather sober and functional, but the atmosphere is rock'n'roll! And so is the music. Blondes, whites, redheads... are drunk with or without foam, and can be ordered by the case! You don't party half-heartedly at Café pop!

For almost twenty years, the Texxas Café delights the nights of Toulouse! At the same time, the Texxas Café is the ideal place to spend evenings and celebrate great events. A festive atmosphere! Many themed evenings are organized, halloween, raffles, hippy, army… to close the regulars and seduce beginners. We also come to eat tex-mex cuisine, but let's admit that the wise consumers are waiting only for a signal of catering to push the tables as soon as the music goes up a notch. Light decreases and the party begins, with great reinforcement of Margarita and tequila. Happy-hours from 19 am to 21 pm every day. One of the high places of the hot nights Toulouse!

And if you don't hesitate, the best is still to taste them at the after work bar, the huge counter of which makes it possible to dance there as in an English pub. The tonneaux tables are ideal for enjoying a changing map and allègrement in the cellar. V as wine, B as a beer: it's really good!

There are places that you just can't get enough of, that are part of a city's DNA. Such is the case with Café de la Concorde. Located in the elegant Chalets district, it is one of Toulouse's oldest bars, having been founded in the 1880s. Its façade, with its majestic marquise, is a listed building. This venerable institution has been taken over by Nicolas Martinez, who has dusted it off a bit. He has given it a facelift, while retaining its Belle Époque charm: upholstered banquettes, marble-topped pedestal tables and colorful chairs for sipping a cocktail or enjoying a cup of coffee. Come and enjoy the historic setting and neighborhood atmosphere!

If it's a curiosity in Toulouse bar, it's the Filochard! The rime would please our poets of life who animate this place since… for so long they have made friends, and many! Friends of friends of our friends join here, at the end of Pont Neuf, to party to the sound of songs. The bar becomes too fast to welcome its tribe, so it extends wide every night in front of the entrance, towards the Garonne! Humor and mussel, small concerts, wine of the country, country bread, this is the recipe for this incredible place. Le Chouchen, breed Breton - a little traitored but good! - help untie languages under the stars sky. Try evenings in concert just to see, before becoming addicted!

Place du Capitole, the Florida has been in existence since 1874. The brasserie is open 24 hours a day, and boasts a beautiful terrace with a breathtaking view of the town hall and square. On the menu are the great brasserie classics, but with a regional focus: tartare, duck confit burger, cassoulet, confit lamb mouse, cep and truffle ravioli... Upstairs, a more confidential club lounge takes you away from the hustle and bustle of the Cap: it's the Roof! This is the place to spend a hushed evening. But why? Because the atmosphere is reminiscent of clubs across the Channel with a French twist!

45 years and still going strong! Tonton has been the aperitif companion for hard-drinking parties since 1979! Françoise, or Mamie to her fans, awaits you in this "temple" of pastis and festivities, on Place Saint-Pierre, renowned for being the crossroads for untouchable party-goers after dark. Born out of a local bar founded in 1958 by uncle Léon Toulet, the place owes its fame, as its name suggests, to the pastis that reigns supreme here: you can order it just like the beer... by the linear metre! To find it, you can't miss it: the bar is yellow... pastis! The decor is sunny too! Savvy tip: party hard, but take the metro or walk home...

We recommend the selection of coffees and teas, and for later in the day, the list of famous cocktails.
