My boyfriend went here with his mother a while ago, and told me how amazing this place was, so as soon as I was back in Toulouse with him, we definitely gave it a try.
France is not exactly a vegetarian-friendly country. In PARIS, we spent over half an hour looking for a restaurant with a single vegetarian entree. So, I was really hoping this place would hit the spot, since places like this aren't exactly in abundance here.
It really did not disappoint. Jarrod already laid out the prices (although if you want, you can do just one of the AYCE buffets for 10€), and we were honestly surprised at how good what would be an entire bottle of wine was for just 7€. I got the salad bar and the quiches, and my boyfriend got that plus the dessert bar. It was just so nice, having so many fresh and delicious vegetable options. It is ridiculously hot in Toulouse during the summer, so eating hot entrees tends to not hold much of an appeal for me. You can tell that this place is also popular with locals, because by about 8pm on a Wednesday night, the place was PACKED.
The only real downside is that if they do have A/C (I'm assuming they do since they kept the door closed), it doesn't work great, and the place gets super crowded and kinda noisy as a result. We went just as they opened (at 7pm), so we missed a lot of the crowd, fortunately. It's something to keep in mind. But I know whenever I'm in Toulouse, I definitely want to come back here. AND I need to stress how reasonably priced this place is. So much fresh food for a relatively small amount in France, that's nothing to sneeze at.
P.S. Try the hummus on their salad bar. It's seriously some of the best I've ever eaten.
