Really great Michelin-star restaurant in the cute village/town of Quint-Fonsegrives…read more The history of the restaurant is neat: the chef apparently fell in love with the little house the restaurant is located in, right across Quint-Fonsegrives' city hall, as its architecture is typical of the region, it has a backyard where are planted herbs & more and as it is near lots of fields/crops which remind the theme of the restaurant: Nature. We had made a reservation about a month and a half in advance for a Friday night. We arrived at 8 p.m. - the restaurant isn't open before, for dinner. The wood tables and tree decoration inside the restaurant made the style very unique and again, remind you of nature. We were seated near the open kitchen so we witnessed the arrival of the Chef and his team and their whole cooking. We were asked by the waiter if there was anything that we do not eat or food allergies. I should have said that I do not like game but didn't think they would serve it (I knew they had in the past but figured they probably vary a lot their cooking). We had fish, pigeon, cheese, figs, macarons... Very original mixes for every dish. The portions were not tiny at all. Even if I'm not crazy about pigeon, I could tell the cooking was mastered perfectly. The Chef likes to decorate his plates with edible flowers. The wine served with the meal was very good. As you leave to pay, you end up in the Boulangerie of the restaurant, where we tried some homemade nougat. It was very very very good. Apparently, if you want to go have lunch there during the week, the wait time to have a table is just a week. The restaurant is closed in August. Very affordable for a Michelin-star restaurant, around 60 euros per person (VS. nearly 100 euros downtown Toulouse in other Michelin's).

I thought this place was just okay - I came for their lunch special which is 8€ for half a pizza, a…read moredrink, and a small salad. Your choices of pizza are a bit limited and you can only choose from 5 or 6 flavors/combinations. I got the pizza that had vegetables without realizing that this particular vegan pizza didn't have any cheese. The pizza I got had tomato sauce, mushrooms, artichokes and red bell peppers but I didn't find this amazing - it was definitely missing cheese. It was a decent size for the half, but I didn't think the crust was quite as good as some of the other pizza places in Toulouse. The crust was a bit thin and soggy with all the vegetables. The salad was really small and didn't have anything except lettuce leaves and dressing. I would have preferred to just pay more for a bigger pizza and make my own salad at home. Overall, just okay - maybe I should have gotten a different flavor pizza but this is not somewhere I'd come over and over. This is probably more of a takeaway place or to get pizza delivered from - the restaurant is pretty small and doesn't have a ton of tables. This wouldn't be my first choice of pizzas in Toulouse.

(Very sorry to the proprietor for my delay in writing this!) I like the place for its casualness and he definitely has the crust dialed in. The place is VERY small: maybe 3 barstools and 3 tables (and, remember, French service is slow compared to American standards...people like to linger). He seems to do a robust takeout business to compensate. Just be prepared to either have to wait or get it to go and eat at a nice park, plaza, church, apartment/hotel room, etc. Pizzas are quite good. As mentioned, the foundation (crust) is beyond reproach: nice crispy-burnt edges and good chew inside. From there, he offers a sufficient variety of toppings though there's something just a little off with the tomato sauce and cheese. It's tasty, for sure, but lacked a certain depth of flavor and sharpness (acid?) in the cheese. Definitely needed some Sriracha hot sauce or crushed red pepper (which he provides). The menu is limited beyond pizzas. The arugula salad (get with extra cheese) is hearty and good. The house wines are just average. The beers are, well, Euro. (don't recall seeing a draft). The proprietor is super nice...speaks some English and has visited the States. This is definitely a good local business to get behind. Overall, I definitely recommend this place for its quaintness and solid pizza. And Toulouse itself is a nifty little city; I love the streets, cafe and restaurant culture, and ease of the city center here very much. It's very casual and laid back and unpretentious. Just nice and classy- European and the people are nice enough. Maybe not enough to do for tourists beyond a day or two but still worth checking out if passing through on your France itinerary.
