"The best restaurant I have been to in my entire life. Caesar salad I have never eaten as good as the authentic one. The boss is very understanding and accommodating, of all the restaurants I've been to it's the only one where you've had quality food for a good price and for the wonderful tiramisu nutella dessert whether it's in Toulouse in France or even in the whole world the authentic is really by far the best restaurant of all time. My cousin had taken one that didn't suit her anymore and he changed it without taking it into account, he changed my dessert from the menu. Never change anything in the taste or cooking method. Everything is impeccable. I would come back here 24 hours a day."

"We were interested in trying Le Cantou as it as it is described as a country manor house in the middle of the Toulouse Airport and Airbus complex. The write up could not be more descriptive as you drive into the parking area and are swallowed up by a beautiful green garden with a large ancient country manor home. The location is beautiful and other than the occasional airplane landing nearby, the ambiance was wonderful.The staff was very attentive and were able to communicate with us in both English and French and they actually tried to help improve our French when we spoke with them.The meal started with a very nice amuse bouchée, although my photo did not workout well. It was an Mousse de fois gras over a confiture du fraise.For our entrees Jo Ann had the Grilled Scallops, Cream of zucchíní with garlíc, candied onions bell, sesame shortbread, fried chilli. For my entree I had the Grilled Quail Fillets, «focaccía», chorizo cream, roasted carrots, picked peppers and chocolate meat juices.Both entrees were outstanding.For our main plat Jo Ann had the Roasted Lamb, lentils with bacon, Smoked Burrata Cream, Green Beans wrapped with lardons, in a thyme juice. Her only “complaint” was that the meat was somewhat over cooked for our tastes so it seemed a little dry. For my main plat I had the Stewed Veal Shank (at a low temperature), mashed potatoes with garlic confit, fresh vegetables in a red wine sauce. This was a very tasty meal.Our wine for the meal was a Demi bottle of Chateau Haut Gléon 2013. It was a nice afternoon wine although it was a little dry for Jo Ann.Dessert consisted of Strawberry Parfait, homemade strawberry ice cream with a mélange of fresh berries, Chantilly cream and strawberry sorbet for Jo Ann. My dessert was the Dessert du jour, a very flavorful fresh dessert with fresh melons and strawberries, a Meringue and speculoos ice cream.We followed this up with a wonderful expresso coffee, the restaurant offers four different brands ranging from a strong Brazilian expresso to a more mild lightly roasted coffee. We of course took the stronger flavored coffee."

"A lovely discovery for lunch in Blagnac. A cool and zenitude terrace for outdoor dining. 3-course lunch at with several choices at a reasonable price. We chose the bo-bun salad, beef cooked with lemongrass and rice. The rice was cooked to perfection, to my liking. The dish was simply delicious! We can a coca each and coffee at the end of the meal, all for 44€. The staff was very kind and courteous, they didn't chase us out of the restaurant at 2.30 pm. It was very cosy we chatted over coffee and forgot the time. We left at a quarter to 3 pm! Will certainly return!"

"We expected a notch above whether in the kitchen or the service. It lacks a bit of class considering the prices. The evening menu options did not convince me. The service is average. I did not hesitate to point this out to the waiter when paying. The room is beautiful but a little cold for my taste and this portrait of the crowned boss is “peculiar”"
