Ici, pas d'affiches de tauromachie épinglées sur les murs, pas de robes à pois, de castagnettes ou d'abanicos, ces éventails propres à l'Andalousie et ses airs de flamenco. Au contraire. L'Esquinade représente une Espagne actuelle, une jeunesse dynamique. L'ambiance qui y règne, sans être nécessairement cataloguée underground ou branchée, est simplement chaleureuse et festive... Plutôt "movida" que "corrida", à l'instar de Barcelone ou Madrid. Des couleurs vives, des plats copieux et de qualité. Typiques aussi, certes, surtout si l'on se réfère aux tapas ou à la fameuse Parillada, un assortiment de fruits de mer. Cependant, ici, on préfèrera toujours à la Sangria le Tinto de verano, un cocktail (fait maison) composé de vin rouge,

Came here with my family for our last meal in Toulouse. Based on the yelp reviews we were excited…read moreto try some local tapas. We were able to get a 7:30 reservation for 4 without any problem on a Sunday night. This restaurant gets two stars for the following reasons: 1. ham croquettes. Frozen on the inside and definitely not fresh which we found to be extremely disturbing. We were charged for them despite the fact that we sent them back. (they did bring us some "hot" ones which were likely just cooked in the microwave). 2. calamari. breaded beyond recognition and when we tried to eat it the stringy calamari just sort of fell out of the fried breaded stuff... needless to say we did not finish that small plate. 3. Gambas in chorizo sauce. the sauce was incredibly thick and had an odd taste and smell. the shrimp were completely submerged in this sauce and probably over 1000 calories. Besides this, the Patatas bravas were the only thing keeping us from walking out the door. sangria was fine, the service was fine and the ambiance was nice.

The…read moreplace was packed but there was one seat at the bar and they managed to squeeze another stool into the same spot - this area of town is always crowed on the weekend so we were happy to get in. Great crowd and it was fun to sit at the bar to watch the owner carve the ham. They have full ham sides hanging at the side of the bar - very cool. We had a variety of tapas - baked garlic shrimp, potato fritters, Spanish ham, grilled calamari and a red pepper stuffed bread. It was all nicely done but the ham was outstanding. My friend said it is made from Spanish pigs that are fed fruit and free range. It was tender and slightly sweet - paired nicely with the pepper bread. We had a nice bottle of Spanish red wine which had a nice complexity despite being a 2011 vintage. I haven't been to other tapas bars in Toulouse for comparison but for the fun and food I can certainly recommend this one.

Everyday they have lunch menu. Ingredients changes through the season and the vegetables for that time. Prices changes around 7 to 12 euros for the lunch plates. Have in mind that when it's 2:30 all the food is already finished. I would recommend you to have reservations if you want to try for dinner, they are always really busy ! Because their cuisine really good. My personal experience: I had salmon hamburger with potatoes flavored with fresh herbs. It was really tasty, loved the way they made hamburger out of salmon it was really creative. 5 stars for the taste, also decor is really warm and cute inside. Give a try!
