Located on the charming Place de Olivier, this traditional Southwest French cuisine restaurant…read moremanaged to become one of my favorites (it also happens to be the place where I first fell in love with a fellow food fanatic on a second date). Upon walking in we are immediately greeted by a warm ambiance created by the shy lighting and bistrot style decor. The setting is quick to provide an escape from the busy and sometimes noisy streets of Toulouse. Not long after being seated I opt for the 21 euro menu: for the entree I will be having the honey chevre salad and for the main dish I will be experiencing my first magret de canard. After half a glass of wine and some good conversation the salad is brought over by our sweet waitress. The presentation is lovely: chevre on toast generously glazed with honey and thinly sliced tomatoes that decorate the periphery of the plate. I take a bite and to my joy the salad not only looks appealing but tastes delicious! After the salad my hunger is satiated but I am determined and ready to take on the main course. I attempt to sit patiently without glaring at my date's unlimited supply of fois gras in hopes to leave room for the magret. My efforts prove futile and I end up stealing a couple slices (the quality is not exceptional but who can beat unlimited!). The magret finally arrives. Cooked "a point", every bite is a delight and takes me to a happy place; I am in love. I devour the duck breast and the side of the well-seasoned fries. My date seems impressed. I have managed to eat my way to love and exhaustion. Stretched belly and all, the experience has been a good one. For its warm ambiance, cordial waiters, reasonable price and quality dishes I give this place a well-deserved four.
