He explained everything, helped me order and made my condiment dish with me. As a solo traveler, it was great to have a little break from all the rich, delicious French food in a casual, friendly environment and the hot pot gives you something to do. It was a fun night out. This place is tiny and not open continuously. Close to the Basilica. Check the hours and enjoy!

The freshness of cucumber gazpacho during a balmy summer day, gives a highlight to summers in the city in Toulouse. And, why we enjoy the fresh offering in our gardens, and the hint of spice literally spiked to taste the old world. KOREAN FRIED CHICKEN! Yes... thanks a no brainer.. spicy, sweet gooey morsels. Yet what brings this to new is the delightful presentation and flavors making your yearning for more. Korean hot pot with beef tartare. Probably my favorite. Sultry sizzling hot pot of rice. Adorned with seasoned beef tartare perfectly chilled, and quite tasty once you do tossing of everything thoroughly of the bowl the meat slightly seers. Totally delicious. So delicious that everyone else in my group wanted to finish my dish. I didn't mind because it gave me an opportunity to taste everyone else's food A spicy pork dish was delicious as well! Perfectly seasoned slight hint of heat and thoroughly tender. Each morsel was coated lightly and it seasoning gave it a vibrant color. The dessert was a little bit odd yet still flavorful I enjoyed it, slightly sweet. With the texture of a Tiramisu it had a nice balance for such a rich meal. A great stop and must try...

Not a very authentic Korean restaurant; they do not serve banchan (korean appetizers) with their…read moremeals. With the prices they charge for the meals, they should provide this traditional/cheap appetizer that is basic for any Korean restaurant. For me, the banchan is the best measure of a Korean restaurants hospitality/authenticity/quality. This is the first Korean restaurant I visited in the world that charged extra for Kimchi (from Seoul - Buenos Aires). I asked for some Kimchi for my Bibimbap and they charged me 2.5 EUR for two small leafs...also they did not tell me they were going to charge me for kimchi until the bill arrived..so cheap.. come on business can't be that bad you need to squeeze every last drop of blood out of the customers... They also charged me extra for my appetizer that was included in my menu set. It was an extra 1 EUR, no big deal $$ wise, but very rude to be adding extra charges without notifying the client. A basic Bibimbap/appetizer and splitting a bottle of Suju costs around 40 EUR/person. Price to quality/service ratio very poor. Needless to say, I do not recommend this place. The other Korean restaurant in the center is much more authentic and costs less. I now understand why the restaurant was so empty.

The place is fantastic - decorated from items found (?) in their grandfather's attic ( which is the name of the restaurant). We had the Alpine Fondue - amazing.

Smoked duck, mushrooms, onions, parsley & cheese. Fantastic! With a bottle of wine and 2 coffees the bill came to around 57 euros. A place not to miss. Come on - when was the last time you had a cheese fondue - and a mind blowing one at that !

From outside, the restaurant looks nice and promising for several reasons. It was crowdy, not too…read moreexpensive, and i heard stories about how the raclette cheese is served (see earlier comments). The major drawback however was the quality of the food. Ok the raclette which is served as half loaf you can't spoil that. The cheese in the fondue was truly disgusting in flavor and taste. I dont wanna know how cheep it was and haw often it had been recycled before. If you expect a lovely fondue and are looking forward to this, epsecially as the name of the restaurant may attract you, i have the strong to recommendation to no visit this one. By the way the service was mediocre and the atmosphere, all in all, was ok.

The first thing I did after being kicked out onto the street into the rain by the proprietor of…read morethis creperie... was laugh. He had just given me the greatest gift of my day: not having to pay for the awful gallettes he had just served us. The experience was bad from the beginning. We stood outside for ten minutes reading the menu in the window and deciding what we wanted (and how to pronounce it in French) before entering and promptly being shown a totally different menu. Then, we ordered a set meal to share and were told that there was no sharing allowed. Naturally, we needed time to consider that news and to figure out what else we wanted. This seemed to anger our waiter. We heard a voice in the back (the voice that would soon be kicking us out into the street) ask if the waiter wanted him to translate something, but the waiter said no. (My mom was speaking French like a good tourist, but it was not fluent, obviously.) Finally, we ordered an extra gallette to go with the set menu to comply with their rules. The attitude of the waiter during this entire exchange was glacial. It was as though the mere suggestion of sharing a set meal offended his sensibilities to the core. (By the way, we shared without complaint all through the rest of Spain and France.) When the dishes came out, they were not at all as advertised. Mine was supposed to have salmon in it. It didn't. Not even a speck. Just all asparagus. My mom's, well... here's the thing. She ordered andouille. Those of you who know anything about French cuisine are probably starting in horror right now. "Not... andouiettes?" you're thinking. Yes. That. But that's not what the menu said. It said "andouille". For the uninitiated, andouiettes are sausages made of pig colon that smell and taste like poop. We did not know this when we ordered it or when we put it into our mouths. Naturally, we thought there was something wrong with it. When my mom took it back and said that she could not eat it because it smelled bad (not angrily and not asking for her money back, just saying this) the owner exploded. My back was turned, but I heard him start shouting (in great English; where was THAT when we were having trouble communicating before?) that we'd been nothing but problems from the beginning because first we stood outside his restaurant for "an hour", and then had the audacity to think we could order food for one person and share it, and then had the gall to not like our food. Then suddenly he was standing next to me, asking, "do you like this? Or do you not like this?" Then he ripped the fork out of my hand (it even had a bite of food still on it!) and swept the plate out from under my face with a flourish and said "Ciao! Ciao!" So, that happened. There's a first time for everything and I guess that's my first time getting kicked out of a restaurant. I feel like the only thing we could be faulted for is ordering naively. Everything else we tried to do correctly... speaking French, agreeing to the rules of ordering, etc. Had he politely explained to us that we had ordered something that was supposed to taste 'funny' and why, everything would have been fine. But no, he had to go nuclear and make a giant scene. But again, my overall feeling upon finding myself out in the rain was gratitude. We were forced to find another crepe place, and that one was better, cheaper, friendlier, and (surprise) way more crowded.

Simply amazing! I had the menu - choice of salad or galette plus dessert (choice of crêpe or…read moreice-cream) for €15. For lunch i chose a galette with grilled eggplant, caramelized onion jelly and emmental cheese. The galette is like a giant crêpe made with spelt flour - light and crisp and delicious! It was huge and I could barely finish the entire thing. But I had to have dessert! I chose the "Diva" crêpe with caramel and sea salt. Mon Dieu!!! I'm quite over the whole caramel and sea salt combo but I tried it because it came highly recommended. I am so glad I did. This crêpe was one if the best things I have ever eaten!!! The combo is what caramel and sea salt is always trying to be. Heavenly. Absolutely recommended! The waitstaff is friendly (even offered a dish of water for my dog) and the place is clean and sweetly decorated. The cider and coffee were not bad either. Will definitely be returning. I want to try everything here!

I wanted to like this place more than I did, some of the dishes were definitely hit or miss. Both…read moreof us got the appetizer, entree, and dessert, which was way too much food. For those English speakers, I'll translate the dishes we ordered for you, as we spent half our time trying to decipher what these dishes were with Google Translate :) Appetizers: - Noix de saint-jacques, gambas, chorizo, morille en cassolette - This was one of my favorite dishes of the night. It was pieces of shrimp and chorizo, and apparently scallops (but I didn't see any in the dish), in a cheese-fondue sauce. I'm not sure exactly it was all cooked in, but imagine a runnier fondue or a thickened chowder, with seafood inside. I loved this, and loved dipping the bread into it. - Foie Gras de canard cuit à basse température aux figues et pain d'épices - I thought I would be getting warmed or seared foie gras, but this was more like a pâté, with figs in the middle, and served with 2 small slices of gingerbread. It was fine, and tasted pretty good when you paired it with the figs, but cold pâté doesn't really do too much for me. Entrees: - Pavé de rumsteack, asperges des Landes, pomme purée à l'huile de truffe - This was a miss for both of us. The steak was overcooked, burnt and pretty dry, and sometimes felt like I was eating beef jerky. I liked the potatoes with truffle oil, but wasn't a fan of this steak. - Daurade Royale cuit au Four, fondue de poireaux et fenouil - This is an entire white fish that is cooked in the oven, served with a leek (I think) and fennel sauce - it was good, and the bones were large enough that the fish was fairly easy to debone. But if you're expecting to get a fillet of fish and don't want to deal wth getting an entire fish, then you may want to get something else. Desserts: - Pain Perdu Brioché à l'Ananas Frais - We both got this dessert, which is almost like a brioche french toast, but a little more dry and no sauce. I don't know why I thought this was bread pudding - it was not. It came with pineapples and was tasty, and not terribly sweet. I prefer chocolate desserts better, but that's just my preference. Overall, it was a fine meal - I liked the shrimp & chorizo appetizer and the fish the best. The other things were just okay for me.
