A grand Art Nouveau brasserie installed in a beautiful historic building in Toulouse, serving generous brasserie classics — choucroute garnie, plateau de fruits de mer, magret de canard — in a lively, ornate dining room. A reliable choice for a satisfying traditional French meal.
Brasserie Flo Toulouse is a grand Art Nouveau brasserie installed in a magnificent historic building near Place Dupuy in central Toulouse, Occitanie. Part of the historic Flo brasserie group, this Toulouse outpost offers the full traditional French brasserie experience in one of the city's most ornate dining rooms: Belle Époque detailing, high ceilings, stained glass panels, polished brass fittings, and the animated noise of a large, well-attended restaurant in full evening service. The menu is a classic of the form: plateau de fruits de mer (the signature — a multi-tiered tower of oysters, langoustines, prawns, crab, and sea snails presented on ice), choucroute garnie (Alsatian sauerkraut with smoked pork, sausage, and accompaniments), magret de canard, steak-frites, and a full range of brasserie desserts. The seafood plateau is the showpiece and one of the best versions in Toulouse, with shellfish sourced from Atlantic and Mediterranean producers. The wine list is extensive and broad in price range. Service is professional and attentive in the brasserie tradition — efficient without being rushed. The brasserie operates a continuous service from noon to 11 PM, making it practical for visitors on flexible schedules. Reservations are advisable for weekend evenings.
