We spoke little French but felt at home and everyone was friendly and happy to explain/help as needed. We called ahead and sat down right when it opened. Seats filled up within the first 30 mins-1hr.

The restaurantuer was very happy to use his tiny English and we used our tiny french to understand each other as best we could. We made it work. The scene is extremely rustic and homey. The food is apparently traditional farm-style french food. We were served oodles of cold appetizers: -fresh sliced tomatoes with pesto sauce -carrot salad -pate -radishes and homemade herb butter (he seemed to be indicating that they went together, but I may have misunderstood) -hardboiled eggs and homemade mayonnaise -fresh bread -fish salad -cured meat It seemed to go on and on. We'd snacked beforehand since our reservation was at 8, so I began to worry how I'd find room for the hot and cheese courses! I managed somehow... The hot course was stewed duck in a cream sauce with boiled potatoes on the side. This was the course that impressed me the least, but was comforting and simple. The cheese course displayed various cheeses, a flan, rice pudding, and stewed pears and prunes that were delicious. Fresh fruit and a hot chocolate cake rounded it out. We thoroughly enjoyed it, but again, if you're not up for having someone else take the wheel, this might unnerve you. I also felt a little internal pressure to eat everything and say I liked it, even if it wasn't my favorite, just as I'd do at Grandma's house. Worth a try and very memorable and authentic.

Long Opening Hours when others are still shut, even on some French Public Holidays. Good service and reasonable food and not too expensive and a very good selection of Beers, Wines and Spirits. The staff speak good English if you are not a Francophone. The Black Lion has a large sitting out area if the weather is good and of course seating inside in the dining area if it is wet or cold. An added attraction on a Sunday is a large street market selling all kinds of articles so why not have a wander round, buy some things ,and then have a drink afterwards? The only flaw I found was that the toilets are downstairs and there is a rather steep staircase so be careful if you have had a wee bit too much of the Cup that Cheers. Also the Gents Toilet could do with redecoration. That apart, I would recommend The Black Lion to Visitors to Toulouse.

A quelques minutes du centre de Toulouse, vous serez accueilli dans une ambiance familiale et chaleureuse dans une salle décorée avec goût, très lumineuse grâce à de grandes fenêtres en arcades. Côté cuisine, tous les plats sont "faits maison" et préparés à la demande dans le respect des traditions. Vous retrouverez à la carte les grands classiques de la cuisine asiatique comme les célèbres porc au caramel ou canard laqué, mais également des plats légèrement revisités, agrémentés de touches cambodgiennes comme la note de citronnelle apportée au poulet au curry. A ne pas manquer, la salade Les Apsaras, un mélange de mangue fraîche, carottes, poulet et de menthe le tout légèrement relevé. Une salade qui invite au voyage, toute aussi enivrante que les déesses dont elle porte le nom.
