The Cannery — Restaurant in Toulouse

As a single guest you always hope for a special place in the restaurant and that you don't have to wait too long for the different courses. This was excellently arranged for both in this restaurant, I got a kind of chef's table spot and all the staff visibly enjoyed making my evening unforgettable. The chef was very informative about the dishes, and the sommelier showed enthusiasm when she explained and substantiated her wine pairing. The guts and creativity she showed by, for example, serving a beautiful Sake with the dessert was an example of this. The 8 courses were therefore all almost perfect.. Only the chef could show a little more guts by, for example, not opting for the safe and oh-so well-known filet mignon but opt ​​for sweetbreads or even andouiette, in any case something less safe.

Of course, all these are minor details and it is all relative to the final price. But, at this price range, I personally expect everything to be...

Wonderful restaurant. Me and my girlfriend went there in August. The food was fantastic and the service was very good as well. We really recommend this place. I went in a lot of starred and bib-gourmand restaurants and I really cannot explain why this place is not on the michelin guide.

Just one suggestion for the owner: I do not understand why this restaurant has a different name in every platform. On maps it is called “the cannery”, on their website is called “la conserverie”, on TripAdvisor is called “conserverie des deux cavistes”. Also for the opening time: on TheFork where you book the table, it says it opens at 7.30pm but on the window of the restaurant it says 8pm but it opens at 7.30. A lot...
