Le lieu, tout d'abord, en fait un établissement original : il est situé dans le Jardin des Plantes du Museum d'Histoire Naturelle. La terrasse donne d'ailleurs sur le jardin. Le concept culinaire est aussi particulier, puisqu'il s'agit du restaurant cafétéria le midi qui propose une cuisine de qualité pour un moindre coût. La cuisine prend son inspiration dans des origines diverses.

It's just that most of it ended up back in my napkin because I simply couldn't break it up with my teeth. The falafel wrap's texture was disappointing too; all mush.

They have a pretty small menu that changes every week depending on what they have in season, which is great because there's variety and the things are fresh. They seem to have 2 pastas, a salad, 2 sandwich choices, and a few desserts that they bake in house. You can get just a sandwich, a salad, or a plate of pasta. Or you can get a sandwich + dessert, salad + dessert, or if you want coffee or tea, they have that too. The sandwiches are pre-made so they are the fastest to grab and go. The salads take a little more time to prepare so you may have to wait 10-15 min. The salad I got had soba noodles, basil, carrots, and some lettuce with a soy-ginger vinaigrette. It was delicious and refreshing; slightly on the smaller side but that meant more room for dessert. The desserts made in house are also delicious. I had an almond apricot cake; they also had cookies, and ice cream / sorbet. The place is really cute but small, so if you have more than 4 people you may want to go elsewhere. They have only a few tables and 2 armchairs. There is no air conditioning but they have free WiFi, so I was able to do a little work on my laptop there. Would recommend this place and will definitely come here again and again!

We wandered the streets of Toulouse for about an hour being very picky between a variety of…read more"restaurants toulousains" specializing in various meats. Finally, this small Thai restaurant's daily special caught our attention and we entered. There are about 15 seats in this restaurant. We were the third and fourth customers during lunch, but by the end, it was almost at capacity. The menu was in French with photos of each dish, so it was easy to figure out. The server brought us complimentary drinks as we browsed the menu (we thought we were getting something special, but the other customers also received such nice treatment). One of us ordered Pad See Yew with chicken, and the other ordered a spicy beef dish with rice and vegetables. It came with a salad and included dessert. Throughout the meal, we drank a lot of water, which was continuously refilled without hesitation - a rarity in France. Finally, the pacing was impeccable, as the server kept an eye on our meals and knew when it was time to bring out the next course. For two meals, we paid about 18 euros in total, a great value for delicious food. It was just like Thai food I eat at home. We even left a small tip (in France) - that's how good it was.

The entrées were already on the table when we arrived. The plat and dessert were served buffet style. The menu is set so you don't have to do anything but enjoy. The entrées included a shredded carrot salad that I thought could use more vinegar but my dining partners assured me I was wrong. Also on the table were a cold lentil salad, smoked fish, and mushrooms all of which received unanimous thumbs up. There was also a bread station where you can cut off as many delicious slices as you want. The plat included veal and carrots in a yummy broth and pureed polenta. Both were as good as a hug from your grandmother. There were a variety of deserts and I heard no complaints from anyone. I opined that the chocolate cake was too rich and the women at the table looked at me like I had proclaimed my hatred for puppies and sunshine. Don't be afraid if you are seated at a large table. Practice your French and maybe you'll make a new friend. Four of us had lunch with a bottle of wine and the bill came to just under 20 euros each. They are open for lunch Monday thru Friday and dinner on Thursday & Friday only. The locals have found this place so call for reservations. Lucky for us it's just around the corner.

Unfortunately I got the impression we were disturbing the staff, our waiter was extremely clumsy- dropping knives, spilling water, not understanding order, forgetting about our coffee. I didn't choose right the dish- didn't like it but my friends who likes Andouillete - sausage with intestines - were happy. To finish the evening another member of staff decided to divide our invoice into 8 pieces to make it simple for Him- when we said that each person took different amount of dishes (some ate only main course and some had starter, dish, desert) he was kind of angry. When my friend paid with 50 euros note he swore at her... Very particular experience.
