A traditional specialty born on the Aubrac plateau,aligot was originally served to pilgrims passing through on their way to Santiago de Compostela. Today, this dish made with mashed potatoes, fresh tome cheese, cream, and garlic has become an iconic recipe in Occitanie. And because Toulouse has more to offer than just cassoulet and sausage, we invite you to discover six restaurants in the Pink City where you can enjoy aligot.
L’Aligot Bar, the most iconic in Toulouse

If there’s one place in Toulouse to eat aligot, this is it. At the Aligot Bar, located on Rue du Taur , a stone’s throw from the Capitole, Jean-Marc Fauré prepares his signature dish every day and makes it right before your eyes. For €12, you can fill your stomach with premium aligot accompanied by a Toulouse sausage.

Conveniently located in Les Halles de la Cartoucherie, La Truffe et l’Andouille made a name for itself with its raclette hot dog. While we highly recommend trying it, don’t miss out on a classic: aligot. With its creamy purée and stringy cheese, their artisanal aligot is served with a Toulouse sausage or a Bobosse andouillette. It’s sure to warm your heart.

A culinary journey to Auvergne. Also located not far from the Capitole, Au Buronoffers a warm setting in which to enjoy delicious Auvergne specialties. Among the bourrioles and truffades from Cantal and Sancy on the menu, there is one that particularly interests us:aligot from the Aubrac plateau at €14.90 for 350g.

Les Fondues de la Daurade, the cheesiest
The name doesn’t necessarily give it away, but at the very welcoming Les Fondues de la Daurade restaurant, fondue isn’t the only thing on the menu! In this temple of comfort food, gourmets can enjoy raclette, tartiflette, and even a dish of Toulouse sausage and Aubrac aligot! A warming winter delight.
