Le Krousty sur Albi

16/10/2026: Excellent food and wine. Service a little bit slow at times. Lovely atmosphere and would recommend. Good prices.

14/10/2026: The location, with its outdoor terrace overlooking the cathedral, is fantastic. Did we expect too much from the cuisine that had been so highly praised? We were a little disappointed. We opted for the set menu, and while the starter (celery root and herring) didn't exactly blow us away, it was a pleasant surprise: fresh, well-prepared, and beautifully presented. I expected more from the main course (veal paupiette). While the side dish was very good, the paupiette was seriously overcooked. As for the dessert (French toast), it was bland, with an unpleasant texture, and the "style" of crème anglaise at the bottom of the plate was definitely not homemade. We appreciated being able to pair our meal with wine by the glass at a reasonable price. Overall, it was a mixed experience. Perhaps we just had an off day. I have no doubt that the à la carte dishes are of a higher quality. Could the organization be improved further? A person greeted us and showed us to our table, saying that she (or we) – I can't remember exactly. Another person came to take our order, and we still hadn't seen the daily menu. A third person continued serving us, starting with the main course. A table next door had to ask for the wine they had ordered, which they still hadn't received after their appetizers had been cleared. Many of these comments should be considered more as constructive feedback, intended to encourage improvement rather than as reprimands.
