La Temporalite - Albi

This restaurant is just outside the Toulouse Lautrec museum so we thought there was no point in venturing any further as it looked ok. It certainly was ok and we were very pleased we had stopped there! The tables were set outside as it was a warm and pleasant day. It was maybe a little disconcerting as it was all on a slight slope, but not enough to stop our glasses sliding across the table. We had some cucumber gazpacho - green so a bit unusual, and definitely not for anyone - like my husband - who doesn't like cucumber, but two of us had it and found it unusual and very tasty. We had duck to follow, which was very good.

Situated in between the Cathedral and Palais Berbie. Very nice interior. We were the only two people in the restaurant the night we visited. The food was ok but not great. I did have the house special dessert as it was dairy free - mango with pepper, vinegar and crushed meringue. Very unusual taste which was not unpleasant.

The restaurant is convenient to the cathedral, the Toulouse Lautrec Museum, and the gardens. Food is good, well-presented, and the interior offers unique views into the inner alleys around the archbishop's palace.

I stopped here for lunch after a morning of sightseeing. It's tucked away on a tiny cobblestoned street right between the cathedral and the Toulouse-Lautrec museum and has only 3 tiny tables out front (although the dining room inside is much better). I asked for a table outside since the weather was beautiful and I wanted to enjoy the ambience of eating in a medieval village. For only 18 euros I got a fantastic starter salad and the "confit du Canard - grand mere". The duck was cooked just how I like it (crispy) and the "mashed potatoes" were absolutely fantastic. Coupled with a half bottle of local Galliac white wine recommended by the server, this was a perfect interlude to a perfect day. I highly recommend the food here.

Lovely little restaurant in the Lee of the cathedral. Absolutely perfect duck with mustard, and tuna fillet. Great local wines. Good service, and reasonably priced.
