For all those who think that Toulouse should be visited only for its famous pink walls, there is another specialty that is really worth a stop: the famous cassoulet from the South West of France! And to try this special dish, only one address in town: Le Colombier.This place used to be called «Au vrai Cassoulet de Castelnaudary» and what is now Le Colombier opened up in 1874. It is now a must-stop in a region where the gourmet offer is rich and varied. In fact its celebrity dates back to when Gérard Zasso, adventurer and gourmet, took over; he used to run the kitchens on the France cruise boat, and thanks to him Le Colombier has now got this special personality for which it is famous in the region. The interior is country-inspired and pretty and it tells a lot about the privileged relation between this place and its history. The lights are subdued, the stones visible and the frescos you find on the walls seem to come right from an old French book, Gargantua or Pantagruel. This restaurant is a hymn to simplicity, an ode to friendliness and human warmth.In the kitchen, Gérard Zasso produces the same impression of true and authentic. Reflecting the famous cassoulet the establishment is actually famous for, the cuisine is generous and full of flavours, that is what Gérard has in store for the lucky few to pay him a visit. Do not look for extras here, or for trends, this cuisine is a simple one, it is authentic and reflects true talent. The products are of exceptional quality, the know how is impressive, the dishes famous for their quality. You really have all the ingredients of true cuisine here. And then there is the little secret, the one that no one knows of, the one that makes a difference between good and exceptional restaurants.Le Colombier is one of those places where friendliness takes on its true meaning. A friendliness you will find in the dining room and on your plate, full of dishes that are simple yet of excellent quality. ideal gourmet was really charmed by this fascinating place, a bit old fashioned, generous, comforting. You simply cannot miss this menu that will take you far away from a sometimes too anonymous and dull everyday life…
