One of the best restaurants I tried in Toulouse in the past couple of years. The food is delicious, with some creations that are unique (I'm thinking about the spicy homemade sauce). The staff is fantastic. They give excellent advices and are very eager to discuss with the clients. The restaurant is modern and clean. We loved it!

We booked the place out for an office dinner for 20+ people and the restaurant had to be reserved in its entirety. The place is not too big but it is quite cozy.
The service was slow, the portions were small.
They gave us vegetarian options which I really appreciate. I took the vege plat and the meat was replaced with glazed tofu. It was nice. I couldn't fault it.
The soup was a tiny bowl, 2 spoons max
The entree, I'm still not sure what it was. It was okay.
The dessert was made with celery and I give it 0/5.
The bread service was slow and stingy.
45 euros and still hungry. Not impressed!

Amazing restaurant. Cozy terrace in a narrow and quiet street (except for the Le Club bar right across the street, which is an option for after dinner drinks and music). The 6-dish menu is simply exquisite, could as well be a Michelin starred restaurant. The staff is super nice, Simon is a cool dude and very knowledgeable about the house wines, which are mostly (or maybe entirely) natural and incredible!

A very exciting place, we had a great time! The food was really close to a gastronomic restaurant, very researched and tasty. I challenged the "sommelier" for a well balanced wine that match the meat we had. I am use to French gastronomie and I can without a doubt say that it is worth the price even if higher than first expected
