The best bars and cafés Midi-Toulousain

In its bar version, the ICC is the trendy meeting place of the resort. Corinne Boitier and Fred wanted to focus on conviviality and a good atmosphere. A winning formula where all generations meet, especially during the themed aperitifs where tapas are king. Cocktails are the specialty of the house and about 400 people can party in a lounge atmosphere that is sure to please. There are many events during the season: contests, fancy dress parties, concerts and dance parties liven up the nights

Canopée Coffee House has made a bet on quality, relaxation and taste. 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! Cow's milk or almond latte, it's up to you. Don't miss out on the cinnamon roll for a moment of indulgence or healthy and varied lunch formulas. The only risk is becoming addicted to Canopée and its coffees!

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.

In this cheerful and colorful place, come and enjoy a good coffee from Ethiopia or El Salvador, fair trade of course. At lunchtime, savoury dishes feature seasonal fruit and vegetables, washed down with local organic beer. Vegetarian values are also emphasized. The pastries are gourmet and the brunch generous, but gluten-free and lactose-free. No one is forgotten!

Another Toulouse pub quickly adopted! Why? Once through the door, the Seven Sisters takes you across the Channel to London's "sisters" district! An elegant pub like no other in the UK, with weathered leather banquettes, framed soccer or rugby shirts (100% Toulouse!), floral wallpaper as green as a well-watered lawn... and broadcast matches. 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!

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!

The V and B opened its doors last December and brought with it the mythical atmosphere of Irish bars! In a sublime wooden décor with a deep red and emerald green, this amazing place is the ideal marriage for wine lovers and beer enthusiasts: 350 references are waiting for you in this atypical place. When you have crossed the door, you will soon understand that the hardest is to choose, trust Frédéric Pasquier to guide you among brands and specialities. Here, beer has no borders, brown, blonde, amber, triple, Belgian, German, Quebec is in all its forms! The selections of wines are also provided with a beautiful journey that begins with local vintages to go to the end of the world. In essence, a cellar with a portal worthy of a castle protects 40 large bottles. 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!

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!
