La Cantou, Toulouse

98, rue Vélasquez

Ah… the only good meal I had. We started with these beautiful canapés that dressed all tables before the meal and also with dessert. Gorgeous assortment of tiny savoury bites.

The meal started with this lovely chopped salmon on a packed biscuit based. Loved the taste of the fresh thyme on it.

This was followed by a divine lamb dish – the meat was well marinated and superbly tender, and tasted fabulous with the little pot of potato mash.

Dessert was a lovely fruit cocktail with coconut sorbet. It was obvious a lot of care went into the presentation.

Lunch was beautiful, set in this lovely garden of a cottage on the outskirts of town, though a bit hot (it was the start of a sweltering summer!).
