The best bars and cafés Midi-Toulousain

It is between the church and the newspaper kiosk in the town centre that Fabrice opens the doors of his café to you. Whether it is on the terrace of about thirty places or in the small room located upstairs, he welcomes you with a smile, as if you were part of the house. In one corner, you can regularly observe belote and tarot players in full game, as well as rugby fans. But here it's the foodies who dominate. They come to discover the chef's dishes of the day and specialities, mostly made with fresh products.

Before and after your visit to the remarkable Ingres Bourdelle Museum, a sweet break is a must at the "Chez Madeleine" tea room on the ground floor. In a cosy and hushed atmosphere, you will appreciate a pastry made in Montauban, a tea, a coffee or a refreshment with a breathtaking view of the Tarn... Discover also the specialities conceived for the museum by Montauban's pastry chefs and, in the heart of the exhibition, the space dedicated to the bookshop-boutique. An epicurean way to enrich your culture and your stomach!

Perched on the top floor of the Midica store, Gigi Land is a nice, unexpected place. Divided into successive small spaces, some are convivial, others more cosy.

At lunchtime, homemade, seasonal and organic preparations are mixed and matched according to your inspiration. You can also enjoy breakfast or brunch here. A flower-filled roof-top full of charm, protected from the hustle and bustle of the city.

The "caliente" spot of the moment in Foix, created by Xavier Contassot! Top-notch ambience for a loco's delight. Karaoke evenings for the courageous who dare to sing with humor and passion, concert evenings, entertainment (casino night, you order, throw the dice, double 6 is free), disco... dance the night away. This is the place to party in friendship and conviviality. The bar serves delicious tapas and platters, made with care. Prices are reasonable, so there are no nasty surprises at the "Barrio"

It's an address that some regulars would like to keep to themselves, like a secret spot where you can take refuge when you're tired of the hustle and bustle of the city. Tea or coffee? The choice is yours, with a dozen proposals in each category. Or how about a hot chocolate? Voluptuous, generous, comforting when the first chill sets in. If you're in the mood for freshness, you can also opt for granités. Pastries? Of course you can! And if you're an early riser, you can even opt for an authentic English breakfast . A friendly atmosphere, a refined but cosy setting, authenticity, a pleasant welcome - this coffee shop is much appreciated.

Earthly and spiritual nourishment for this restaurant-café-show located in the corner of a house on Rue Astrié. Leeloo and Clément are the masters of the place, and have made L'Antre Deux a very pleasant place to socialize.

There's also a wide choice of succulent tapas. The welcome is friendly, simple and cosy.

After numerous trips, notably to South America and the Caribbean, Patty and Tcheka settled in Ax-les-Thermes to open this super bodega bar-restaurant-tapas, etc. Their gamble paid off: the place is cosy and friendly, with an excellent atmosphere. The decor is essentially warm wood. You can eat delicious tapas, burgers and even a tartiflette with porcini mushrooms! The evenings continue with DJ entertainment, music... In summer, our two lovebirds return to their native Basque country to entertain summer guests at a campsite on the ocean coast.

Martin and his team are known on the square for the delicious organic and ethical cookies of the Oie gourmande. A gosling has just been born in the form of this Scop.

Carefully selected, pampered, roasted just right, then savored with delectation. This is the journey of Kawa, the psychotropic and stimulating energizing beverage... that you'll enjoy at Cerise. Each bean is roasted on the premises, and then passed through the percolator once ground - only 100% Arabica local coffees. Thanks to Valentin and his team for opening the doors every morning in a warm and welcoming setting overlooking the Garonne River and Pont-Neuf. Smart tip: brunch isn't just on Sundays!
