"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."

"The leader and his faithful little four-legged companion offer you: A warm welcome in a small convivial space with the smell of wood fire accompanied by a tasting board with fresh products FAIT MAISON, a delight for your taste buds, to share around a small glass so there is little choice in aperitif but it remains ample enough). You will find original dishes, of quality, served with a smile please and a beautiful touch of good humor despite the chef running everywhere, he will still be available. Enter, dish, dessert, are just as surprising as each other and beautifully presented. If the waiting time seems to you long between the dishes, it is simply that the master of the places wishes to please you in your plate, and then you will have his little mascot that will distract you by his little look full of charm. To sum up, if you love animals, craftsmanship, from FAIT MAISON, that you want to feel at home in this little cocoon while eating dishes of good quality, well presented at a slightly high but reasonable price), and well you are in the right place! Just think about booking. A place to discover for you, and to redo for us"

"A small, comfortable restaurant in which you feel good. I went to lunch. Cocktail very good. I chose the vegetarian dish. He was delicious. Very original. Bemol however: I had an almost raw egg on the dish. I wonder if I can cook it a little more. I was told first that it is not possible because it is a perfect egg gold that I know the perfect egg and it was not perfect but raw! Anyway. My dish was taken back and brought back with an egg to the dish... finally cooked! I repeat that the dish was very good what remains the main, but I would have liked that I was just said there was a cooking mistake! For people who notice it's complicated to park, it's not true because there is the large parking lot of the pool at 100m! Positive feedback. Vegetarian options: The restaurant offers a vegetarian dish, but it offers mainly fish/viande dishes."

"Small very warm Mexican restaurant, the very nice boss makes us travel through the sprinkled decoration of watermelon (if so, Sandia means watermelon), traditional music and their succulent dishes filled with flavors I recommend the eyes closed"

"Excellent reception. To begin with, our choice was on the cocktail at the citrus fruit of the house which was very fresh. The appetizers were wanted and very good. The mouth was very tasteful and delicious. Field bread, cereals and onions/citron were offered. I tasted the three and they were all very good. My favorite was that with lemon onions that was original. In the entrance, the foie gras was good, very well presented and of sufficient quantity but I was disappointed by its quality, I expected it to be better and I found that the pepper jelly of Espelette denaturated it. The first dish was a cod. The plate was very well presented. The fish cooking was perfect, and its accompaniments were very well prepared and seasoned. Then the pigeon was rosé as we had asked, the flaps married very good with the potimarron and the ravioli was fresh and melting. It was rich in taste and we enjoyed it. Very nice presentation for dessert. It was delicious with fresh figs and the wine was very tasteful. The mignardises were all succulent and refined. The staff is professional, attentive, attentive and pleasant. The service was irreproachable, of high quality, effective and attentive. He was present but not unbearable. We always had a detailed description of the dishes that were served to us, the water and the breads were served regularly, the cutleries were changed to us for each meal and we were taken away the bread slices just before dessert. The kitchen is of very good quality, respectful, modern, inventive, refined, shifted by some associations that came out of the ordinary with mixtures of exotic and unexpected flavors. And there is a very nice wine list at all prices. At the level of prices of stars necessarily they are high but given in its context they remain correct. It's a very clean restaurant, and the sanitary are impeccable."
