A meal served by machines? Yes, you read that right! In Toulouse, the traditional family outing to the restaurant is taking an unexpected turn. Every weekend, La Halle de la Machine offers a unique culinary experience where dishes arrive by air and plates seem to fly away. Toulouse Secret tells you more about this unusual activity in the Pink City.
Spectacular service in an enchanting setting
In the Montaudran district, the Halle de la Machine reinvents the art of dining. Every weekend, the Minotaure Café sets the table for a Déjeuner des Petites Mécaniques that promises to be a sight to behold. Gone are the conventional dishes and drinks. Imagine a bread catapult, a flying pepper shaker and even a dessert chandelier! These fantastic machines, operated by talented machinists, serve up a high-flying meal in a surreal atmosphere.
Curiousgourmets meet at the Halle de la Machine
The culinary experience begins at noon, and lasts for three hours. On the menu at the moment: refined dishes such as beet mille-feuille with shrimp or cordon bleu de la mer with ewe’s milk yoghurt. All accompanied by spectacular service, with each dish making a theatrical entrance. This unusual lunch is limited to 24 guests, creating an intimate and exclusive atmosphere. And beware, places go fast.
At 65 euros per person, this gustatory and mechanical voyage offers much more than a simple meal: it’s a plunge into the poetic universe of Compagnie La Machine. Here, good food mingles with mechanical ingenuity for a moment as funny and original as it is unusual. So grab your seats!
