France for visitors

Eating, drinking and entertainment
France > Languedoc > Toulouse > Eating, drinking and entertainment

Regular daytime café-lounging can be pursued around the popular student-arty hangout of place Arnaud-Bernard, while place du Capitole is the early evening meeting place. Place St-Georges remains popular, though its clientele is no longer convincingly bohemian, and place Wilson also has its enthusiasts.

There are several good areas to look for a place to eat. One of the most attractive and fashionable, with a wide choice, is the rue de la Colombette, in the St-Aubin district just across boulevard Carnot. Another is place Arnaud-Bernard and the tiny adjacent place des Tiercerettes, just north of St-Sernin. Rue du Taur has a number of Vietnamese places and sandwich bars, and the narrow rue du May has a crêperie, pasta place and restaurant. For lunch, however, there is no surpassing the row of five or six small restaurants jammed in line on the mezzanine floor above the gorgeous food market in place Victor-Hugo, off boulevard de Strasbourg. They only function at lunchtime, are all closed on Monday, and cost as little as €10. Both food and atmosphere are perfect.
