    (Translated by Google) Quite atypical downtown restaurant ... Look and decor rather nice and original (between the bohemian and the good franquette). The menu is not very large (4 courses), there is not a lot of choice but hey it doesn't matter, you come there to discover the chefs' dishes and among those offered there will necessarily be one that you like . Indeed, the titles and the ingredients remain in the very great majority traditional. All the difference is made in the preparation ... Well despite everything I did not find it incredible, it was good, it was nice but I find the price really, really excessive for the cooked products (I had taken beef cheek with a "house" mash for around twenty euros). A small touch of disappointment in terms of quantity ... Too little for me, who am not a big eater. And a little disappointed with the dessert which again is a bit expensive. The waitress is also very friendly but unprofessional (difficult to ask for water, and corked bottle of wine which according to her was not). Do not hesitate to give me a feedback on your feelings, this restaurant leaves me a little perplexed ... As a conclusion I would say: nice restaurant, to discover once ... but not twice ... (Original) Restaurant du centre ville assez atypique... Look et déco plutôt sympas et originales (entre le bohème et la bonne franquette). La carte n'est pas très grande (4 plats), il n'y a pas énormément de choix mais bon qu'importe, on y vient pour découvrir les plats du chefs et parmi ceux proposés il y en aura forcément un qui vous plaira. Effectivement, les intitulés et les ingrédients restent dans la très grande majorité classique. Toute la différence se fait dans la préparation... Bon malgré tout je n'ai pas trouvé ça incroyable, c'était bon, c'était sympa mais je trouve le prix vraiment, vraiment excessif pour les produits cuisinés (j'avais pris de la Joue de bœuf avec une purée "maison" pour une vingtaine d'euros environ). Une petite pointe de déception au niveau de la quantité... Trop peu pour moi qui ne suis pas un gros mangeur. Et un peu déçu par le dessert qui encore une fois est un peu chère. La serveuse est par ailleurs très sympathique mais peu professionnel (difficile de demander de l'eau, et bouteille de vin bouchonné qui d'après elle ne l'était pas). N'hésitez pas à me faire un retour sur vos ressentis, ce restaurant me laisse un peu perplexe.... Comme conclusion je dirais : restaurant sympa, à découvrir une fois.... mais pas deux...

    (Translated by Google) A beautiful gourmet address, qualivore and locavore. You can feast around a slate renewed every week with regional products and select your wine from the bottles on display. A team of professionals of good advice and listening will allow you to decide and make your choice. (Original) Un belle adresse gourmande, qualivore et locavore. Vous pourrez vous régaler autour d'une ardoise renouvelée chaque semaine avec des produits régionaux et sélectionner votre vin parmi les bouteilles en exposition.

    I liked this restaurant a lot even if I found it a little heavy on the hipster. I wanted a restaurant that prioritised local dishes and wines and here it was. I had the tripe soup with the porc noir and a forgettable desert. The food was brilliant. Really nice and portioned excellently. Using local and in season veg and locally raised meats it was tasty and well prepared. The presentation was not great but everything else was. The wine was brilliant. We asked for local wine recommendations and the waiter (moustache mask) was complete and patient. He knew his wines, ceepage, locations etc and really added to the experience. We polished off with a couple of Armagnacs again local and carefully selected, a classic and a new twist. Over all a great experience. Well done to the team.

    The food was amazing but very very expensive. The chef was able to make vegetarian meal which I appreciate. He mixed up the order of some people of our group though. I appreciate the fact that most of the food is seasonal and local.

    (Translated by Google) Ingenious and inventive kitchen. A nice culinary appointment. Small flat when the sound level of the establishment when the room is full. It's a shame it spoils a little exchange with the guests. No time to test the wine list, we will return with pleasure. (Original) Cuisine ingénieuse et inventive. Un rendez-vous culinaire agréable. Petit bémol quand au niveau sonore de l'établissement quand la salle est comble. C'est dommage ça gâche un peu l'échange avec les convives. Pas eut le temps de tester la carte des vins, on y retournera avec plaisir.

    Incredibly good! They’re using biological ingredients, and what they serve is really good. Went there the day before to ask if we could have a vegetarian plate and they said it was no problem, just made something with what they had and it was very good! Nice atmosphere, lovely to spend your evening.

    A nice modern affair of French cuisine paired with a relaxed atmosphere to not be missed in Toulouse. We tried all of the seasonal entrees and the plats with the exception of the tataki. Well balanced flavors with gorgeous plating, their salade d’oreille de porc noir is absolutely spectacular. Plat was equally as exceptional with perfect portions. Wine list consisted of mostly natural wine, not particularly fond of, but did a great suggestion of what would suit our palettes. Shining star of the night was absolutely the tarte poire!

    Had a great meal here my first night in Toulouse - didn't know what to expect & was really glad I chose it (& they managed to squeeze me in!). I had the octopus & lamb dishes, and they were both excellent.

  • 5/5 Steven F. 6 months ago on Google • 4 reviews
    After a slight snafu with our party (4 not 6 due to a flight delay), we were seated and the evening was delightful and delicious. Thoughtful service, creative dishes without being precious. Perfectly prepared porc, and a beautifully done swordfish. First rate desserts. It’s a small and very intimate restaurant. Would return in a heartbeat.

In the evening, take at least two dishes to fully appreciate the inventiveness of the chef. Jazz and soft atmosphere.

  • 4/5 Skyler K. 4 years ago on Google
    I had the octopus and chorizo with pickled vegetables and lentils. Everything individually was fantastic. The pickled vegetables were the right amount of sour. The meat was flavored well. The lentils also were cooked the right amount, not too soft or hard. I would have liked to see fewer lentils and more of everything else, or maybe some vegetables that are not pickled. The plate was about 2/3rds lentils. That’s a lot of chewing. I was eating quickly, but the food became cold because the lentils and pickled vegetables started out cold and made up so much of the plate. I agree with the reviews that the dessert isn’t that great. I ended up ordering a dessert because the waitress was nice and patiently explained the entire dessert menu. It was described as a pistachio and white chocolate cream dessert, and that part was good, but it was also about 80% fruitcake/breading that was not very appetizing. I would recommend against the dessert. Overall enjoyable meal.

    Delicious food, the creamy garlic soup was incredible. Definitely worth a visit. We hadn't made a reservation, but managed to get a table, we arrived just after it opened.

    My friends live in Toulouse and recommended this place and it was one of the best meals of my life. I normally don't eat a lot of meat and I got the filet and it was extremely tender. The service was wonderful and they were patient with us english speakers. Every item was to die for. I plan to go back everytime I visit Toulouse!

    A great restaurant, it is warm and cosy with a nice atmosphere. It's quite small, but they don't try to squish in too many tables. The waiter spoke English. The plates are relatively small but delicious, we were happily fed but not overstuffed.

    (Translated by Google) A very good address for all lovers of gourmet cuisine, simplicity and low prices in addition. The room is small but we have space and remain very quiet. The service is attentive and quite efficient when it comes to food we were more than very pleasant surprised. Local and seasonal cuisine, real research into dishes for an explosion in the mouth. The meal was worthy of a star and very reasonably priced. An address to do absolutely if you spend a few days in Toulouse. (Original) Une très bonne adresse pour tous les amateurs de cuisine gastronomique, la simplicité et le prix doux en plus. La salle de petite mais on a de l’espace et reste très calme. Le service est attentionné et assez efficace quand à la nourriture on a été plus que très agréable surpris. Cuisine locale et de saison, une vrai recherche sur les plats pour une explosion en bouche. Le repas était digne d’un étoilé avec un prix très raisonnable. Une adresse à faire absolument si on passe quelques jours à Toulouse.

    (Translated by Google) It is always with pleasure that we go to the Balthazar: a warm welcome, a very friendly setting with always nice music! And a lot of love on the plates: everything is homemade, the products are local and fresh (a lot of affinity with Aveyron products from elsewhere, some more exotic spices sometimes too), in general we end up sated AND delighted with a water of artisanal life as a digestif, don't think you can go for a night jog afterwards. In short, we are always happy to bring family and friends there because it is always a very friendly and intimate moment that we share! (Original) C'est toujours avec plaisir que nous allons au Balthazar : un accueil sympathique, un cadre très convivial avec toujours de la musique sympa ! Et beaucoup d'amour dans les assiettes : tout est maison, les produits sont locaux et frais (beaucoup d'affinité avec les produits Aveyronnais d'ailleurs, quelques épices plus exotiques parfois aussi), en général on finit repu ET ravi avec une eau de vie artisanale en guise de digestif, ne pensez pas pouvoir faire un footing nocturne après. Bref on est toujours heureux d'y emmener la famille et les amis car c'est un moment toujours très convivial et intime qu'on partage !
