Le Dahu — Restaurant in Toulouse

Beautiful food, wonderful atmosphere, brilliant!

I went here last night with my girlfriend to explore and experience the best that Toulouse has to offer, I was not disappointed.

The starters were great, a French onion soup for myself and a pasta dish (grandmothers recipe) that both undeniably hit the spot just as you would hope for.

This was followed by what I can only describe as a godly main, I opted for the chicken sausages and bean, the flavours were tremendous, so slowly cooked and it was just wonderful and on the other side of the table was a beautiful chicken accompanied with some unreal potatoes.

We shared a melting chocolate dessert that was stupendous and came with a nice citrous sorbet to balance out the flavour.

The wine was a white and dry, slightly fruity and accompanied all dishes very well.

I cannot stress this enough, if you are in Toulouse you...

Great little hole in the wall with surprisingly upscale food. There were only about ten tables, and most were reserved on a Sunday evening. We arrived shortly after opening, and only three tables were not reserved. A reservation or at least calling ahead is recommended.

The menu is exclusively on little chalkboards, and as with most small restaurants, the beer and wine selection is limited but still tasty.

We tried the soup à l’onion (French onion soup) for a starter, and it seemed to be made with a vegetable broth and raclette cheese. The mains were memorable. I tried the magret de canard, which was their take on the classic duck à l’orange; and my partner had the entrecôte, which was a quite well prepared ribeye.

On the whole, we both enjoyed the place, and if we were staying longer in Toulouse, we would return for another dinner....

Had a fantastic time here - food and drink fabulous and atmosphere unpretentious. Servers lovely. Good value. Pitchers of wine!

The soundtrack was brilliant - Motown and blues on in the background.

The food was the kind of food that makes you realise the French do it right - dinners cooked slowly and eaten slowly, the food sophisticated and filling. You get the impression that the people of Toulouse eat at these places a lot. And that makes you want to move to Toulouse sharpish.

Waiters were friendly and warm. We sat next to a lovely log fire that kept us toasty on a November night.

The wine was lovely and cheap. The food was great value, too.

And after a dinner here you walk along the river and...
