Along with Les Canotiers and its floating terrace on the Garonne, Racines is one of our favorite guinguettes in Toulouse. This magical place features a large wooden terrace where you can enjoy an aperitif (almost) with your feet in the water. This Toulouse guinguette promises a friendly, relaxed atmosphere just a stone’s throw from the city center. Authentic flavours from near and far, refreshing cocktails… Racines has it all!
A friendly Mediterranean menu to tempt gourmets
On the menu, the emphasis is clearly on freshness and sharing. Nibbling pleasures follow on from each other, with must-tries like burrata with caponata and toasted almonds, or the generous charcuterie board (fuet, chorizo, Serrano ham) to get things off to a good start. Salad lovers will be delighted with the crisp Caesar salad, the fresh and aromatic Greek salad, or the Racines salad, a successful marriage of tomatoes, melon and fresh basil.
For the main course, the guinguette relies on skewers with notes of the South: duck breast with honey and rosemary, prawns with sauce vierge, or grilled calamari à la plancha served with spicy patatas bravas. Poke bowls, with tuna, salmon or vegetarian versions, add a light, trendy touch, perfect for summer evenings. In the evening, oysters, whelks, shrimps and sushi will delight those who love iodized flavours. Last but not least, we love the generous desserts, such as the Brownie Explosion topped with chocolate and whipped cream, or the Banana Split with roasted peanuts, a real invitation to indulge.
Racines, the perfect spot for cocktails and sunset relaxation
Racines is also the place to be for sunset lovers in Toulouse. Here, you can marvel at the Golden Hour while sipping one of their signature cocktails. The “Passion” (Bombay Sapphire gin and mango purée), or the “Dream Angelic” (rums and prosecco), are must-haves that go perfectly with the setting of dusk on the Garonne.
This is the ideal place for a moment with friends or a romantic rendezvous. A breath of fresh air in the heart of Toulouse, Racines opens its doors for a summer by the water.
In short, the Racines guinguette is the promise of an enchanted interlude for tasting, drinking and having fun in a warm, festive setting. The perfect place to fill up on the good life!
