Had a wonderful and relaxing time at this lovely, quaint Relais & Chateaux.  We stayed here to break up a longer drive and regret not staying longer. A lovely meal and a remarkable wine list makes this almost a must for anyone to drop by when in the Toulouse neighbourhood. Chef Frank and Benoit and the service staff really made us feel welcome and at home.  That's all one can really ask for... welcoming service, comfort and a place one can really feel they can relax.

We greatly enjoyed a lunch with seasonal ingredients of autumn: cèpes, prawns in various preparations, veal sweetbreads, pumpkin…  We opted for the chef’s menu (149E for five courses plus other goodies) with the truffle option (30E supplement with lots of grated truffles).  The chef’s menu is very fairly priced, but we would probably not opt for the truffles next time.  Thanks to chef Renimel for this lovely experience.

If the weather is good, be sure to sit outside.  The gardens are spectacular.  The interior, while quite elegant, is a bit cavernous and doesn’t give the same warm feeling.

Plates didn't taste particularly good, were super super overpriced (takes alot for me to say that), and had way too many components that were unnecessary/didn't go well with the dish. Chef came out to ask about the meal and was quite rude when we honestly/politely offered constructive suggestions. Told us to drive home if we didn't like it. Overall, wouldn't came back to this place ever again. One of the worst restaurant experiences of my life!

Ann excellent restaurant only 30min from Toulouse. The setting is lovely, surrounded by the fruit and vegetable garden and the little pond. The service and food are what you would expect from a one Michelin star restaurant: excellent food, excellent wine, perfect service. And for children, the chef comes out of the kitchen to ask them what they want to eat!
