Great place. I saw a lot of comments that everything is in French only, well, that's not true, apart from some spectacles, everything is available in French, English and Spanish. However, they could provide some subtitles for the French only parts. I spent there 1 full day, it's enough to see the most important parts and walk through the whole object. If you want to really have full experience and see everything thoroughly, 2 days are recommended. Great place for kids, adults and anyone who loves space exploration. My favorite spectacle was the imax space images. Overall, highly recommended.

There are lots of shows which are really informative and educational. We loved the Mars Rover one, but the only thing was everything was explained in French so we had to use live translation. The planetarium shows has audio guides in english. Other than above this is a great place to visit for both kids and adults who love space.

If you’re in Toulouse and even remotely curious about space, the Cité de l’Espace is a must-visit — especially with kids. I went with my daughter, and it turned out to be one of the most memorable experiences we’ve had together. The IMAX Deep sky show was fantastic. Gazing at the stars in the Planetarium made us feel like we were travelling through the galaxy. The highlight is the Lune Explorer where you get to experience being an astronaut on a mission to Moon. You can literally feel the 2G force!

It's a must see if you are in the area. I would recommend setting a few hours aside if you visit - especially if you want to check out some of the shows on offer. Planetarium and take off simulations are great - the latter does have quite a bit of a wait time however. Translation headphones are available for planetarium - English and Spanish. There's also a restaurant and food trucks, the only thing missing was a coffee truck for some pick me up. Overall spent around 5h and haven't seen everything.

Love it! Very good place to visit. Full of astronomy, stars, planets, and fun things. Tons of activities to do and see. You would need the whole full day for this. Highly recommended.

Nice space oriented museum, from the first rocket into space, to the future. Pitty that there isn't any Dutch, as a neighbour country this would have been nice. (Translating everything for my kids was exhausting 😁) A lot of interactive stuff, friendly staff, children are more than welcome to experiment and try things. But again, only in french.. A lot to discover, you'll need at least a full day if you want to see everything.

On a warm summer day, we visited the Cité de l’Espace in Toulouse with our children—and what an experience it was! The interactive space museum offers an incredible variety of things to see and do, both indoors and outdoors. Our kids were thrilled to try out the simulators (with almost no waiting lines), where they felt like real space shuttle pilots, tractor drivers, and even captains of a fishing boat. Outside, you can walk among life-size spacecraft and even step inside some of them—something truly unique in Europe. One of the highlights was the panoramic theater, showing an engaging film about the galaxy and our solar system. It's just a pity that much of the content was only in French. For a museum that celebrates European cooperation in space, we had hoped for a bit more multilingual accessibility 😉. We had a great time and, honestly, ran out of time after four hours of exploring. Whether it’s sunny or rainy, this place is absolutely worth a visit!

It is a nice and clean church, both the exterior and interior are beautiful, it was a pleasure to visit this church during a day trip to Toulouse and a walk around the city center. When we entered the church, young girls and boys were singing religious songs and a good spiritual atmosphere was created. The church was relatively quiet and had the necessary peace. I personally felt very good and I hope you will also have a good experience visiting this church.

The basilica is one of the largest Romanesque-style churches in Europe and a major landmark of Toulouse. Construction began around 1080 and continued through the 13th century. The building reflects a pure Romanesque design with later Gothic additions, combining red brick with pale stone. Its most iconic feature is the 64-meter octagonal bell tower, a defining element of the city’s skyline.

This is a truly mind blowing cathedral. It is the largest remaining Romanesque church in the world. Its soaring barrel voltage ceiling gives a sense of space and majesty. There are wonderful statues and some incredible fresco paintings which have survived hundreds of years. I must see when in this city.

Beautiful architecture. We were lucky that there was a wedding ceremony when we entered so we got to hear the organ play live which was amazing. The entrance is free. Highly recommend a visit.

A more grandiose cathedral, visible from many parts of the city because of the distinctive tower. The access was limited when we visited because there was a service on.

Mast seen Landmark of Christian medieval architecture. Free entrance. Take your time to visit and discover all parts of basilica.

Definitely worth a visit if you’re in Toulouse. It is free to enter for all.

Les Abattoirs is a large and impressive contemporary art museum located in Toulouse. The museum is housed in a former slaughterhouse building, which adds an interesting historical layer to the visit. The transformation of this industrial space into a vibrant cultural center reflects Toulouse’s commitment to preserving its heritage while embracing modern creativity. Inside, the galleries are spacious and thoughtfully curated, with clear signage that helps visitors navigate the diverse exhibitions. The collection features a wide range of contemporary artworks, including paintings, sculptures, and installations by both French and international artists. For lovers of modern art, Les Abattoirs is truly a must-visit, offering an engaging and enriching experience in a unique setting.

This converter building is a superb space for display contemporary art. There was an extensive installation of the work of Mickalene Thomas. Some of this was quite challenging, but a brilliant exhibition for which people were lining up to enter. There are several levels and to see some of the permanent collection you need to go upstairs. Downstairs, you will see an amazing curtain from the Theatre designed by Picasso. There are three lockers into which you can store your bags. A wonderful experience.

Les Abattoirs—literally meaning "The Slaughterhouses"—is Toulouse’s major museum of modern and contemporary art. The building was constructed in the 1820s as the city’s main slaughterhouse and was later transformed into a museum, which officially opened in 2000. The museum focuses on 20th- and 21st-century art, with a collection of around 4,000 works, including paintings, sculptures, photography, video art, and installations. It operates mainly through rotating temporary exhibitions, so the content regularly changes. ※ Included in the Toulouse Pass Tourisme.

Gallery on three floors. The exhibition was not quite the type of modern art I like too much but regardless the gallery is nice. Friendly and helpful staff.

Excellent space for expos of contemporary artists. The Mikalene Thomas expo was truly inspiring and thought-provoking

The museum itself is very open and easy to navigate. I simply didn't like the current installation at all. There's one theater curtain that was a dual work by Picasso and a contemporary whose name I've already forgotten. There were interactive and video art pieces that are not my preferred style but perhaps other will find their meaning.

It’s worth to visit. A lot of space in the building so you can see everything. But they could have put some words in English along with the French. And don’t try to go to the restaurant! They told me it was all booked this Sunday even if I was just a single person. I found it strange that you can book a table in such a restaurant that is close to the museum.

The Muséum de Toulouse is a fascinating and beautifully curated space that brings science, nature, and history to life. From the incredible dinosaur skeletons to the engaging biodiversity exhibits, every section is thoughtfully presented with both adults and kids in mind. The layout is modern and easy to navigate, and many displays are interactive or multilingual, which is a big plus. The museum’s focus on environmental awareness and the connection between humans and nature is especially impactful. A must-visit if you're in Toulouse — plan to spend at least 2-3 hours here!

The Toulouse Museum is a perfect place to explore, especially with children. It’s a well-organized and comprehensive museum, free to enter with the Tourism Pass. With several exhibition areas and even an outdoor botanical garden, it offers a great variety of experiences. A must-visit for a fun and enriching time in the city!

This is the second largest natural history museum in France, after the one in Paris. Founded in 1796, it originated from the collection of botanist Philibert Commerson and has since grown to house over 2.5 million specimens and artifacts. Its exhibitions cover a wide range of subjects including earth sciences, paleontology, anthropology, zoology, botany, and environmental sustainability. Many displays feature striking visual elements and interactive installations, making it especially appealing for families and children. The museum is directly connected to the Jardin des Plantes, allowing visitors to explore live plant species and observe local ecosystems outdoors. A full visit typically takes at least 2 hours to half a day, depending on your pace and interests. / ※ Included in the Toulouse Pass Tourisme.

-€12 for an adult ticket -Fantastic -Friendly staff -Nice gift shop -Garden is also lovely -Toilets are gender neutral and need a good clean as they looked grubby and smelt

Great museum we'll laid out. Modern with cafe and toilets. Great exhibition of natural history stuffed animals and dinosaur skeletons. Takes about 4 hours.

I have been to a lot of natural history museums and this is quite wonderful. Enormous display of animals; educational sections on earth science, taxonomy and speciation; thought provoking display of artifacts demonstrating basic commonalities of human cultures. I would have enjoyed even better if there had been English translations. The temporary exhibit on domestication of plants and animals. did have English and was brilliant for all ages.

Lovely musuem. Very interesting and interactive. Suitable for all the family.

My first meal in Toulouse and I picked this 1 Michelin star restaurant to try. Thankfully I booked it quite last minute as it was a last minute trip and I managed to get a table. The location is on a quiet street near the university but I managed to find it. Managed to arrived a little early and was able to enter the restaurant to get to my seat. The staff there not many were able to speak English so there was one who could speak quite good English and he was the main server to my table for the night. Since I wanted to do a degustation menu for dinner, there were 2 types of menus available. I decided to go ahead with the surprise menu as I wanted to surprise myself and see what the chef would come up with. Throughout the meal, I didn't have the menu and only knew what was in the dish when it was served. Most of the dishes were seafood based which I liked, and some of the dishes were surprising as I have never tried the combination of ingredients before. It was quite refreshing and unique to me that these combination could complement so well and great job to the chef. A truly good meal and nothing to fault about, its 1 star Michelin and yet it doesn't burn a hole in the pocket. Before I left at the door I actually met the chef and got a handshake. A nice way to end the meal and kudos to the entire team!

We had a wonderful evening in September 2025! The food was, of course, excellent, but the service was the best I’ve ever experienced. From the very start, we felt cared for and treated with genuine respect. Everyone had a twinkle in their eye, offered information and answers in a warm and friendly way, and showed great understanding of our limited French — though everyone spoke excellent English. Even three weeks later, I still think back on the experience with gratitude. Monsieur Sarran even came to the tables at the end of the evening, and we were grateful for the opportunity to thank him. What a delightful experience. Thank you!

Amazing experience! I thought it was over rated being it’s a celebrity chef owned restaurant but in fact, it’s reasonably priced for lunch at 75€ for amuse bouche, aperitif, entree, plat, desserts, coffee and inclusive of wine pairing. Drinks are almost never inclusive of lunch menus in haute-cuisine establishments, so this was a good deal. Plates are elevated, even if they do the twist on your favorite bacon and eggs for brunch, as we came for lunch..It was still a pleasant foodie experience. The flavor construction of the dishes are excellent! The location is good, quiet street at the back of the university area and going to Compans-Cafarelli. The car parkings available right in front by the street. Decoration is tasteful and elegant but not stuffy and pretentious. Service is impeccable, servers are professional but not stuck-up or snobbish. The hostess/host were friendly and smiling. Even Michel Sarran himself came to visit every table and I complimented him on giving such a good dining experience. He was nice. Well deserved of a Michelin star. I keep coming back!

Fantastic. Attention to every detail. The staff were knowledgeable and professional. A delightful recommendation on a wine I would never have tried otherwise. Merci.

Disclaimer: the 4 stars are related to the expectations we have from a Star restaurant and do not have an absolute value. The food, the wine and the service are great. Compared to other restaurants of the same category we missed something. The menu is definitely creative and interesting, but next to some absolutely outstanding courses we also got a couple of dissonant notes in particular regarding the dessert. The wine advices from the sommelier for each plate were absolutely outstanding ( worth 5 stars ).

We had an amazing time for my mother birthday. Amazing food and service. And Michel Sarran himself came to our table !

Great lunch! was Highlight was the dessert and petit four. Had the duck for main course, it was tender and not over seasoned. I was slightly thrown off by the spring rolls for appetizers, they tasted good, just not what I would've expected in the middle of toulouse. Overall delicious lunch, really enjoyed the wine pairing and great value!

The food was decent, but I expected something more refined and creative from a Michelin one-star restaurant. Unfortunately, the service was truly disappointing. The woman serving our table seemed visibly annoyed—sighing, not smiling, and showing no warmth or professionalism. The restaurant is also extremely inflexible when it comes to dietary restrictions. My wife has a seafood allergy, and their only solution was to remove the seafood from her dish without offering any substitute. Since they serve a surprise tasting menu, you don’t get to see what you’re eating beforehand—and they make no effort to accommodate special requests or allergies. That’s unacceptable at this level of dining. To make matters worse, when I asked for a small box to take home the chocolates we didn’t eat, they told me they had nothing available, claiming their customers “don’t take food home.” I suppose that means I’m not considered a real customer? The chocolates were served on a small, cheap wooden tray, which clearly wasn’t meant for reuse. So I took it with me. To my surprise, about five minutes later, the same server came looking for me on the street to demand the return of the tray—without offering any way for me to take the chocolates home. Shame on them for such poor service and lack of hospitality. This is not the experience one expects from a Michelin-starred restaurant.

Highly respectable the quality of meals as well as the atmosphere. It is located in the center of downtown easily parking the car, ... all these factors are perfect as the 1st grade French restaurant. I will be back.

This is the worst hotel in Toulouse!! The rooms are old and shabby. Service at 0 level. The air conditioner in the room did not work in the terrible heat. I was not even warned about it. The number was not changed. It's just horrible!!!! Spoiled rest. I categorically do not advise!!!

We had a nice diner here, but nothing exceptional. We went through the 4 courses menu, and we were not disappointed as the food was good, but pretty boring. There was nothing exceptional in anything we ate. It was well cooked and you could feel the technique was here, but that's it. The service was nice, but not up to standard for such a place, e.g., hard to get the attention of the wine guy and get a glass. It made me feel like a regular hotel restaurant, quite bland in the end, with no soul. The place is nice for sure, but the overall experience is overpriced in my humble opinion.

An exceptional experience in terms of the cooking and organisation of the dishes. Lots of taste sensations - the lobster cassoulet, basil ice cream, and hay-smoked aubergine to give just a few examples! More conventional things done really well too (delicious ceviche)! Wine pairings were clever and unconventional in places. Generous sizes too (for this sort of restaurant) Only very minor negatives - not sure about the bread; our place in the dining room felt a little bit hidden from the action.

If you have money to burn and you’re a foodie, a Michelin star resto will never disappoint. Such as this one. But I’ve been to many Michelin rated restos and the food over all was not mind blowing. The location is great, it’s right next to Place du Capitole, the interior is so modern Contemporary chic, the service is okay could be better, the plating is great and taste is exceptionally good but like I said for a foodie, not mind blowing. A dinner would cost about 100€ per person. By the way, my photos were from exactly 2 years ago, when I first visited the restaurant.

Overall a very nice meal, my wife and I got a voucher for le.jardin de l'opéra. We decided to go for the testing menu and the pairing wine and dish. On the negative side: -Booked for 20.00 and the restaurant wasn't open yet, we had to wait a couple of minutes so some open the door despite the confirmation email. - the lady that greeted us was tense and we didn't feel particularly welcome. But she seems to relax after a will. - didn't wait for my wife to come back from the lady's room before bringing the course. Not accessible at that level. Had to ask to wait, by chance she arrived just in time. - had to ask for a break, the course was coming out very fast. - The testing menu didn't include cheese but still they are trying to sell it to you for 20 euros per person and that a choice of only 3 cheeses. Inacceptable at that level especially with a testing menu. - mistake on the bill, didn't take into consideration the voucher we got as a present. Once again not acceptable at that level. There were only 4 tables in the restaurant all night for 6 waiting staff, can't say that they were overworked. For the positive side: -The menu was fantastic, the win picked for every course was perfect, especially for the chocolate dessert. The sweet breads are unbelievable. Congratulations to the sommelier. - the younger waiting staff was very good, much more relaxed. I would like to point out that I am from a catering background, 20 years in Michelin star restaurants. I can say that I give a fair opinion. Would go back.

Me and partner went for the discovery tasting menu on the last night of our holiday. A fantastic treat overall. The food was incredible and the location was sublime. Service was great - we felt timings were slightly off. We ordered cocktails to start but the first course and wine pairing came soon after so unfortunately could not enjoy the cocktails in our own time and one of the wine pairings came late. This didn’t take away from the overall experience though. The servers were all lovely and attentive but not overbearing. Favourite dishes included the velouté and smoked haddock & mimosa egg. Thank you for a lovely evening.

Happy birthday to me ma de so special by dinner here by the river. We arrived early but that was no problem .. everyone tried there utmost in speaking English to us. The menus were explained and the food was amazing. A truly memorable trip and if we come this way again we will come back with friends. From our waiter, waitress superb service and our wine guru was just fantastic xx thank you for such an amazing night.

Nothing to say but fantastic 😍 the food, the place the service, le sommelier ! Made the evening fun and relaxed with his tales and good humoured expertise. The surrounding, la Garonne at dusk, the service, the high quality of each dish made that birthday celebrations evening one to remember!

So many nice dishes, the restaurant in the green garden is beautiful even in the night. Felt so welcome even with my limited French n_n

Phenomenal meal in every respect. The restaurant is set in a beautiful older building, our table was on a porch overlooking water. The service was perfect in every respect, attentive and knowledgeable but not hovering. And the food is truly wonderful. You choose between several set menus. We chose the vegetarian option. Every dish was creative offering complex complementary flavors and all of the presentations were works of art. It was the perfect meal for our last night in France.

This restaurant is pure magic. It is across the river from the main part of town, but has a lovely setting overlooking the river in the distance. The menu is fantastic and I recommend the degustation with paired wines. The food was beautifully prepared, wonderfully displayed, Delicious and varied. The staff were very attentive and the whole experience incredible

Lobster menu and summer menu were both very good! Service was also very friendly and tried their best to introduce us the food in English. The only thing didn’t went well was we sat too close to the river for the view but instantly became mosquitoes buffet within 5 seconds.

A beautiful restaurant on Capitol Square with a fantastic atmosphere. They have gluten-free bread and a menu with all the allergens marked, but virtually all starters and several main courses can be adapted. The waiter confirmed each dish with the chef. I had the ceviche, simply removing the croutons, stuffed eggs and the Angus steak with a different sauce prepared by the chef. Everything was delicious. They even have several gluten-free desserts. I didn't suffer any reaction at all. Highly recommended.

Out of this world experience. The service, frescos, and atmosphere take you away to another time. I told the server my great great grandfather Jean Catherine Bibent started this restaurant in the late 1800s and it was a dream of mine to visit. He made sure I had the most spectacular experience - from a bright wine that paired well with the coconut ceviche to the signature deviled eggs. Proud to see how well the team and new owners have maintained this establishment and know he would be as well. Merci!

why didn't you let us sit by the window when we asked? they were totally unoccupied. we were curtly told a cold "No." by your young waitress. your wait staff urgently need more training in how to address your diners, especially the young ones who look like they're still studying. food ok, wine selection good. lentils for lunch menu mains were bit basic. your best dish wasn't even made by you but from Xavier fromagerie - his cheeses are godsent divine. tops.

Unique, beautiful and delicious place in dowtown Toulouse. The place itself is captivating, a mid-19 th century restaurant will be enough to have a delicious experience. Food was good as well, it was a great experience, beautiful served and good quality, not remarkabky unique dishes though but not a tourist trap. The place is small though, so it can get a bit noisy as it gets full. Also, the toilets are clean but small and nothing to do with the spactacular dinning room. Service was friendly, but again, as more people arrived it got slow and impersonal.

Good food and atmosphere You will need a booking to get a seat inside the iconic restaurant. We sat outside, but all is still good

Good food set in a beautiful building with a good ambiance. We enjoyed our starters, the scallops were delicious, although I had entrecôte main which was unfortunately tough. In addition we ordered wine and probably wanted a further drink or coffees however after initial service we were left alone so another missed opportunity in terms of additional revenue. All in all a pleasant evening and I would go back but perhaps not chose the steak!

Amazing atmosphere, it feels like you're at a dinner party with the King of France. Menu in french only. The snails🐌 were delicious . Polite and friendly staff. Leek, in my opinion, cannot be a separate dish. It was the first course of menu of the day, but it was awful.

Rare balance of hearty food and creative combination of seasonal flavors. Will definitely go back when I’m back in town next time. If the chef sees the comment - the appetizer was delicious but kimchi had a little stale smell of refrigerator.

Fabulous meal. Fresh ingredients and flavours, blending local cuisine with touches from around the world. Trout, courgette and squid dishes were highlights, as were the herbaceous desserts. Fantastic service and well. Definitely try to eat here if you come to Toulouse.

i had the most amazing lunch here consisting of one entrée, two plats, and one dessert. one of the plats was merlu, and i can confidently say it was the best food i have ever eaten in my life. incredibly comfortable atmostphere, kind and attentive waiters and chefs, and superb food. if i could give six stars, i would.

A wonderful lunch! The flavors were delicate but very well balanced. The chef is creative but not heavy handed. Service was lovely and efficient. The ambience is cozy and relaxing. Standouts we’re the octopus and the cauliflower/lentil dishes.

We visited this restaurant in 2021 and we had a really nice time so decided to go back again but what a terrible disappointment. Each dish was incredibly bland, pretty tasteless and definitely not worth the money. I had a ravioli which was ok but its was drenched in what could only be called vegetable water, it was not seasoned and was very ordinary. They grow their own veg? well the product produced is not great, good ingredients are key to the food tasting excellent . The tomato salad was equally non eventful, the two desserts the blueberry biscuit and peach Breton were bad, my sorbet tasted of water with a hint of blueberry. I finding it harder to trust Michelin guided restaurants as the actual cooking is not living up to the reputation.

A little charming gem hidden amidst the blocks of ancient buildings in the city. Reservations required. Dining area is small, oozes warmth and coziness. The wine menu has a good variation prices reasonable. We opted for a light red to go with the food we picked up. Service was prompt and very friendly. The food was heavenly! Will definitely return!

Excellent service, the freshest ingredients, and a little surprise in each dish. It's a very intimate dining room and one of the chefs comes out to greet each table after their meal. Definitely worth a visit when you're in town.
