Vegetarian Restaurant in Albi



Restaurant Review – Le Tournesol




This is a great little restaurant that we happened upon when we went to see the cathedral in Albi.  We had actually gone into another restaurant nearby to find out if they had anything vegetarian on offer, and were given directions to Le Tournesol (the sunflower) from the extremely helpful owner. 


Fittingly located just off la Place du Vigan, Le Tournesol is just a few minutes walk from the center of the city, and has vegetarian, vegan, and gluten free options available.  The menu has several daily dishes on it, which encompass a full meal, and a very filling one at that!  We ate lunch at 2pm, and never needed dinner!

The three of us shared three different dishes, so I can confidently say that the falafel and hummus with quinoa and bulgur salad was excellent, as was the zucchini/courgette tarte salée, and the fromage brebis (sheep’s cheese) with corn galette was so tasty that upon returning to Toulouse we immediately went out and bought mi-brebis (a cheese made from half sheep and half cow’s milk).

We didn’t have any dessert, so I can’t say much on that, but it certainly looked tasty!

Anyway, if you’re in Albi, this place is definitely worth checking out…sorry I don’t have any photos, but I was just too hungry to think about anything else…
