A traditional specialty born on the Aubrac plateau,aligot was originally served to pilgrims on their way to Santiago de Compostela. Today, this dish of mashed potatoes, fresh tome cheese, cream and garlic has become an emblematic recipe of the Occitanie region. And because there’s more to Toulouse than cassoulet and sausage, we’d like to introduce you to 4 restaurants in the pink city where you can enjoy aligot.
Aligot Bar, Toulouse’s most emblematic restaurant
If there’s one address in Toulouse where you can eat aligot, it’s this one. At the Aligot Bar, located on rue du Taur just a stone’s throw from the Capitole, Jean-Marc Fauré prepares his signature dish every day and spins it out before your very eyes. For €12, you can fill your stomach with a premium aligot accompanied by a Toulouse sausage.

Au Buron, France’s most terroir-oriented restaurant
A taste journey to the Auvergne. Also located not far from the Capitole, Au Buron offers a warm setting for tasting delicious Auvergne specialties. Among the bourrioles and truffades from Cantal and Sancy on the menu, there’s one we’re particularly interested in:aligot from the Aubrac plateau at €14.90 per 350g.
