I love Pub O'Clock! This is an Irish pub in the city center of Toulouse. It was the first real meal…read moreI ate the morning after arriving to Toulouse. By morning I mean when I finally got out of bed at 1 pm all jet lagged and starving. We went around the area a bit looking for some breakfast type food, which is as close to impossible as you can get if you're American. Breakfast in France is very different. We just really needed a solid meal. One that, apparently, only an Irish pub could understand. When we first walked by we were like "haha let's get breakfast at the pub". I looked at the menu and saw "English breakfast". I had a vague idea of what it was but I wasn't sure if I could handle the pub atmosphere at that moment. We kept walking. 5 minutes later, we're like "English breakfast". We were so hungry and it was right there and we could tell that the odds of finding anything other than a pastry was very little. I cannot even begin to tell you how glad I am that we did that. We found a perfect table outside, practically on the sidewalk, where we can eat and people watch. The waiter was great, he spoke very good English. He was really quick to take care of whatever we needed. The English breakfast was amazing. It had 2 eggs over easy, bacon, sausage, blood sausage, mushrooms, toast and beans. I was staying in Toulouse for a week. After a few days of the usual french breakfast of a pastry and coffee, I started fantasizing about the English breakfast.... One day I waited until they opened. The yelp page says they open at 10 AM but I didn't see anyone there until the afternoon. Finally, they were open! I went in and ordered my English breakfast and the girl behind the bar tells me they only serve it on the weekends. =-( I dried my tears and looked over the menu to see what else I might like. Fish n chips. Ok, there's no way it could possibly be better than the English breakfast. But, it could possibly be the best fish n chips I ever had. As a matter of fact, it absolutely without a doubt, was the best fish n chips I ever had. This story does have a happy ending. On our last day in Toulouse we got the English breakfast again. It was just as good as the first time. Highly recommend!

Le papa, originaire du tarn, est brasseur de longue date. La jeune fille, quant à elle, a été nourrie des valeurs du sud : convivialité, authenticité et hédonisme.

Une simple baie vitrée sépare les joyeux buveurs de l'espace de production où s'affaire alain, le fameux brasseur.

Pas peu fière de faire découvrir sa propre bière, c'est également la production locale en général que la fille du brasseur encourage en proposant dans ses assiettes des produits de la région exclusivement, mais aussi du vin de pays et des jus de fruits artisanaux. Décidément, émilie ne fait rien

I was surprised to find this British pub type of ambiance but glad to try it out for sunday brunch!…read more The waitress was nice and friendly, I had to wait a little bit before getting seated but was lucky to get a table without booking ahead. The Dispensary also has an interesting Gins and Whiskys menu as well as cocktails.

I would recommend this place and go back there without hesitation.

A few weeks ago, while getting ready for a press trip to France, I realized that I was going to…read morehave to get over my insane fear of being in France despite not speaking any French. I learned how to say, "I'm sorry, I don't speak French, do you speak English?" by practicing daily. I was landing in Toulouse on a Saturday morning but my trip didn't start until Sunday evening. Good thing I did this because the turbulence during the first hour of my transatlantic flight was so bad (how bad was it, Nancy?) that drinks were flying and even the flight attendants looked shaken. Needless to say, I didn't sleep a wink. Despite the rest of the flight being smooth, any time there was the slightest sound I was wide awake. But you don't care about my flight. So a few days before leaving I find The Dispensary on Yelp and say to myself, "You have to eat there." I mean, this place is literally the stuff of my fantasies. Dark but awesome decorations, a killer menu, and dark but awesome decorations! So I take a little liquid courage and call. A woman answers speaking French to which I go through, for the first time with an actual French-speaking person, my "Sorry, I don't speak French, do you speak English?" routine and she tells me (in French) that I do speak French and then switches to English. We have a good laugh and I make a reservation. I was pretty excited to head over on Saturday after meeting my host for the evening, unpacking some essentials, and crashing for a delicious post-flight/post ridiculously long travel day. The Dispensary has a nice outdoor seating area in front that was full of people. My reservation was for 7 but I arrived a bit early so that I could have a cocktail first. When I walked in and was greeted in French I launched into my go to phrase (I was a pro at this point!) and she immediately switched to English in a British accent. *Most* of the staff were ex-pats - I'm not sure how they all found each other but I was completely fascinated by their ability to switch between languages so seamlessly. I'm always fascinated by people who are bilingual. I ordered a Cry Baby Collins: tanqueray, raspberry puree, lemon juice, homemade dried candied ginger, soda water. It was freaking delicious. It was also very pretty. Next to me sat a perfectly behaved dog (this is a French thing we need to embrace, like the cheese course). People were in and out of the bar - a variety of ages and I saw what appeared to be groups of friends, couples and even a few families. This is a place that is so very welcoming I really wasn't surprised at the diversity of the crowd. The bar is decorated with pure kitsch tucked into the built-in shelves but doesn't come across as cluttered. There are dolls, a working model ferris wheel and lights of all sorts. Also some great taxidermy - pretty sure it was real but whether or not it was real it was pretty darn cool. Around 7:30 I moved over to the restaurant where I enjoyed my dinner. I had two glasses of wine (Graves and Minervois) and their signature dish: the Death Star burger. It is a *lot* of food. A lot of very good food. And I was hungry since I hadn't had anything to eat since very early that morning. As I enjoyed the artwork and vibe in the restaurant part I also noticed the board with activities (bands, trivia night) and the huge influx of people - this is definitely the place to be on a Saturday night. While I would have loved to stay and hang out for the music I was feeling the pull of bed. Before settling up, though, I was sent over a shot by the woman who had helped me at the bar. It was delicious. I think they saw me fangirling on Instagram. She also let me know as I left that her grandmother's name was Nancy and that had caused her to think of her late grandma (a good thing). Very sweet. It's easy to say: When I'm in X I'm coming here again. I say that a lot. But with The Dispensary I definitely see myself coming back, with Kris, because this is totally the type of place where we'd spend a night drinking and laughing. And beating everyone at Trivia. Well, unless it's in French. **Je suis désolé, je ne parle pas français. Parlez vous anglais?**
