🇫🇷 Toulouse Fine Dining | Contre-Pied: A Lightweight Lunch? 🍽️✨
Tried Contre-Pied—Toulouse’s creative bistro—for a €27 lunch set… and left hungry (and slightly confused). Here’s the full report: 📍 The Basics Price: €27 (starter + main + dessert). Portions: Petite (my salad-loving friend was still peckish 🥗). Vibe: Minimalist + concrete walls (🧐 where’s the bread basket?). 🍽️ The Menu (Surprise Edition) 1️⃣ Starter: Pork Cheek Terrine Jelly-like texture + beetroot + cilantro oil (🌿 fresh but… too much scallion!). 2️⃣ Main: Cod with Endive Fish = perfect (🐟 moist + crispy skin). Veggies = meh (endive’s bitterness + fennel = still not my jam). 3️⃣ Dessert: French Toast Gone Wrong Kiwi sorbet = 💚 zingy! Bread = too thin (🥚 zero custard soak = dry sadness). 💡 Honest Thoughts Creative? Yes. Delicious? Not for me. Problem: Too many flavors fighting (like a food orchestra with no conductor 🎻). Best For: Light eaters who love scallions and artistic plating. #ToulouseBistro #FineDiningFail #ToulouseCuisine #SouthernFrenchRestaurant
