Les meilleurs restaurants en Albi

25/05/2026: Delicious couscous and tagine. Watch out for the pepper sauce (hot), baklava is highly recommended, less sweet than Turkish. A real winner; we sat outside on the terrace, diagonally across the street there were some noisy types. The atmosphere was a bit less because of this, but otherwise recommended if you are tired of French cuisine.

02/05/2026: Excellent tagines and couscous! Everything is fresh and homemade!

23/09/2026: A very good vegetarian buffet in a magnificent setting on the banks of the Tarn.

22/08/2026: The buffet consists mainly of raw vegetables and salads. There are no prepared dishes except for spring rolls and pizza. The setting is great.

04/09/2026: Very good bar, great atmosphere even with the bartenders

28/08/2026: The place has retained its original character: it has a certain charm, but could definitely use a bit of a refresh, especially the tables and chairs on the terrace 😉 A very pleasant and professional waiter with a slight British accent. Prices are on the higher end, but the drinks are good.

17/10/2026: Judging by the comments, perhaps we were just unlucky… like others six months ago… A good meal… with a few drawbacks. The perfect egg wasn't cooked, and the yolk simply mixed with the mushroom cream, while the white left behind raw, gelatinous clumps. The butternut squash purée was cold, and the dessert was tiny (barely half a pear, whereas my wife had a generous slice of clafoutis…). Disappointing.

12/10/2026: Excellent value for money, great service, I highly recommend it, especially for vegetarians.

02/10/2026: I went through the drive-thru today and was served by a young woman named Lilou! A very pleasant young woman who put a smile on my face, full of good humor and wit. I highly recommend her; I loved it! There should be more staff like her!

27/09/2026: Cold burger, missing ingredients, incompetent staff – avoid at all costs!!!

17/10/2026: Unacceptable, even for a supermarket brasserie! A waiter was angry with his colleagues even though the place was empty! We ordered a panini for €7.70 and ended up with a bill of €13. He charged us for drinks separately! We felt like we were being treated like complete idiots! Avoid this place at all costs!

10/10/2026: A very warm welcome, impeccable service, and spotless cleanliness. I highly recommend it.

31/10/2026: Found by chance, generous portions, homemade fries, and a foie gras burger! Friendly service.

21/10/2026: Soggy, undercooked, and incredibly greasy fries. The employee rubbed his nose before touching the fries. Avoid at all costs!

26/09/2026: The place is really nice for having a good time. However, the owner is not very customer-oriented!

24/09/2026: First time I've been there, pretty nice bar.

16/10/2026: The cassoulet was excellent, as was the apple tart (I don't know the proper word for it). It was all very filling for me, though I am a fairly petite woman. I think it was because I was an early bird (for France; I arrived when it opened haha...6pm) but they were very generous giving me an amuse bouche and topping up my cocktail! They don't speak any English so I got by with my rather limited French, but they made me feel welcome all the same. If you really have to rely on Google Translate, try to sit outside or near the door because there is little signal at the back of the restaurant, and there's certainly going to be none in the downstairs room. I am not wealthy; I don't think I've ever given a tip more than £1, but I gave them €4 because of how friendly and quick the service was :)

10/10/2026: ⭐ A disastrous experience! The quality of the food was poor, the dishes were disappointing, and the restaurant's hygiene was appalling. The overall condition of the place was unacceptable, and nothing lived up to our expectations. Everything was disastrous, from the quality of the food to the cleanliness of the premises. The menu was far too expensive for such small portions, and the food was frozen! A complete rip-off! A very bad experience; I absolutely do not recommend this restaurant.

02/06/2026: We discovered La Réserve on social media and we weren't disappointed! We had brunch there on a Saturday and everything was excellent. A warm welcome, a very pleasant setting, a varied and generous buffet, and delicious dishes. A great place that we can't wait to return to.

31/05/2026: Endless wait (the meal lasted 4 hours in total, even though the restaurant wasn't full), decent starter although the foie gras lacked accompaniments, tasteless fish dishes, meat that wasn't tender enough, and an overly sweet dessert. The decor is outdated; only the view is magnificent. We won't be back.

03/06/2026: A delightful surprise. Homemade food. Excellent value for money. Impeccable service. You have to appreciate classical music, which transports you to another world, paired with excellent dishes.

05/04/2026: Lunch on Easter Sunday was a pure delight for the taste buds. Excellent cuisine, with very fresh ingredients, top-notch service, a simple yet very, very good restaurant! A very friendly atmosphere – simply the best!

13/05/2026: Excellent welcome, top-notch staff

11/05/2026: A quiet hotel opposite the railway station. Comfortable and with decent catering. Above all the kindest and most helpful staff. Thank you all so much.

23/07/2026: We stayed here for one night with our 3 children (aged 4 to 11) during a heatwave. Upon checking in late at 22:30, the room was boiling hot. The staff admitted that they forgot to turn on the AC in advance because they 'missed our booking in the right computer', even though we booked 2 weeks prior. The front desk promised the room would cool down in 1-2 hours, but the AC barely blew any air. I ended up sleeping only 3 hours after placing a wet towel on my back to survive the heat. When Hotels.com tried to call the hotel the next morning to resolve the issue, the hotel staff hung up on them 3 times in a row. They offered a 15 € breakfast discount for the kids on checkout, but that does not compensate for a completely sleepless night for a family of five. Avoid this hotel if you travel with children during summer.

19/05/2026: Speaking of the Brasserie alone: ​​very good, home-style cooking, a welcome change from the pretentiousness of many other restaurants in Albi. Whelks and prawns with aioli for starters, followed by a delicious veal sauté with olives, and a fruit mousse to finish. All for just over €20. A glass of good Gaillac wine, €4.50.

14/10/2026: Very clean. With welcoming staff. Ideal for a break on a long journey.

07/10/2026: This is the second time in a row I've done a click and collect drive-through order and an item is missing. The first time, I even fell on the ground in the parking lot while going to get what was missing. That's it for me.

08/10/2026: Very good cuisine, provided that it is updated and that the prices do not increase further.

26/09/2026: We we're ripped off because we can't speak or read French. Stay away if you can't speak French. We looked at the English menu presented on the menu board at the door entrance. The prices of the food choices we liked seemed reasonable so we went in. When we sat down we were presented with French menus. No problem, we knew what we wanted so we ordered. At the end we went to pay and the total was 20% more than what we expected because the English menu out front is years out of date. We explained that to the waitress and she proceeded to show us the French menu again and pointed out the increased prices; she said sorry, shrugged her shoulders and walked off. Clearly they know about this and it is a scam. Avoid!
