Toulouse cuisine

When mentioning Toulouse, many gourmets immediately think of the world-famous foie gras. A piece of fatty foie gras, placed on the tongue, will melt like butter.

Foie gras stewed with onions and figs will be the centerpiece of any elegant dinner in Toulouse, along with confit de canard, made by stuffing the liver and other organs of a goose with herbs and roasting for 4-10 hours.

Cassoulet dish.

The daily meals of families in Toulouse include traditional dishes such as aligot (boiled potatoes mashed with cheese and shaped into cakes) or bougnette (shredded bread mixed with eggs and minced meat, then shaped into balls and baked).

Cassoulet is a must-try dish for winter. A pot of cassoulet, consisting of goose, Toulouse sausage, pork skin and white beans, stewed for hours, will warm the stomach of the eater on a cold winter day.

The Toulouse region is influenced by the Mediterranean climate, so it grows a wide variety of fruit. Local housewives are also famous for their fruit cakes, such as fénétra (apricot and almond cake) or pastis gascon (apple cake).

Pastis gascon, in particular, has been elevated to haute cuisine by using apples that have been injected with Armagnac while still on the tree. Recipes that date back to the time of the ancient Roman Empire continue to be refined in ways few people would expect.

Brique du Capitol Candy.

A popular gift for visitors to take home from Toulouse is the Brique du Capitol. Created by Nougalet (one of France’s oldest confectionery and chocolate brands) and inspired by the pink tiles of Toulouse.

Brique du Capitol candy is made from sugar, almonds, chestnuts and vanilla... the highest quality. Biting into the candy, visitors will feel each layer of candy crunching in their mouth. Visitors should also visit Nougalet's store near the Victor Hugo market gate to buy genuine and best quality Brique du Capitol candy.
