Delicious gourmet food in Toulouse !

987harrietr, Apr 2025

I really appreciated all of the attention to detail which Alejandro put into his tour. Before the tour he was extremely communicative and helpful with regards to a change of plan re inclement weather. I would really recommend this tour for people at any point during a stay in Toulouse (although maybe particularly valuable at the beginning!). The food bought and cooked for us was delicious, well linked to the stories and we left feeling full and knowledgeable ????

The tour was so much fun!! We learned a lot about the history of Toulouse and the history of foods from the area. Our chef and guide had put a lot of thought and effort into each stop. The food choices were delicious and some were prepared for us while we watched! I highly recommend this tour.

Alex was a fantastic guide for the tour, and was super knowledgable about Toulouse and the food scene more widely. The stories and the food were both really well curated. Definitely recommend! ????
