I had a really enjoyable night out with some girlfriends exploring Toulouse. When it was time to…read morefind a place to eat, we had to consider a group with several dietary restrictions. Luckily, Le Bibent was available and had some tempting options. Fortunately, the food did not disappoint; everything we ordered was not only visually appealing but also quite tasty. Now that I've read reviews from previous years, I wonder whether they have changed chefs or adjusted their menu, since we had no complaints about the food. However, the service was a bit lacking. We had to ask someone several times to find our server to help with things like getting new utensils (since our previous ones had been removed), ordering drinks, and asking for more water. Also, the food took quite a while to arrive at each course, which was the only thing that slightly dampened our experience. Otherwise, we loved it.

This restaurant is racist and the food is horrible. We arrived 30 minutes before our reserved…read moretime. The entire restaurant was empty. The waitress led us to the back of the restaurant and to a table directly in front of the toilet/kitchen. We sat for 15 minutes and watched how every single customer was led to better tables located at the opposite section of the restaurant and far away from us. The same waitress came and asked if we wanted still or sparkling water. I decided to play along and ordered still water. Throughout the entire lunch, we observed how tap water was placed on the tables once the customers sat down. Yet we were not offered tap water throughout the entire meal. When the bill came, I asked the waitress if there was special reason to sit us in front of the toilet when the entire restaurant was empty at the time. She did not say anything. I then told her that we usually gave tips. But since we had ordered the still water that she recommended, we would not leave any tips this time. We stayed in France for over 3 weeks during our trip. This was by far the worst food we had ever tasted. Both of us did not finish our dishes because the food was tasteless. Our conclusion was that the chef either deliberately cooked badly for us or his/her taste buds were badly damaged. The chef had to try very hard to make every single dish so bland. For customers with colored skins, take your money to elsewhere. You should be respected. For all other customers, there are many restaurants in Toulouse offering fantastic food at the same or better price. They are just 5-10 minutes walk away. Do not be fooled by the decoration. It is a tourist trap.

Ok so the French know their food. That's kind of a given. BUT they don't always know service. From…read morethe moment you walk in the door at Le Clapotis you feel like family. No pretentions just good honest people with an excellent product who want to share their love of food. We were taken here by a good friend who suggested we try the "formule" which included 6 oysters (delectable), a shellfish buffet (crab, crayfish, shrimp, clams, mussels and small shells that I don't even know the name of that were freaking delicious), plus 2 different fish dishes and a dessert all for 40 Euros! What?! I would have paid twice that but that's not what this place is about. It's genuinely nice people, a stunning view and yummy dishes. It's slightly outside of the city but it's well worth the drive as the view over the river is great. Go there. Just do it. You won't be disappointed.

It was accompanied with fries that weren't very flavorful and had a strange texture. Believe it or not, the milkshake was actually the worst part. I ordered a chocolate milkshake and I was served something that basically tasted like dirty vanilla... In the worst way possible. I actually didn't want to drink it but I hate to be rude at restaurants so I just drank as much as I could. I definitely had a stomach ache after this place... Must say though that the atmosphere is cute!
