They also do tasty and healthy lunch meals including home-made soups and quiches, all at a reasonable price.

Le Sherpa is conveniently located in a street just off the main square and is one of the few cafés or tea shops in Toulouse that open on a Sunday.

The bathrooms are in a rustic little courtyard at the back which is quite typical of southern France.

La Fiancée is easy to get to, being very close to Toulouse’s main square, la Capitole. They are popular for the weekend brunches which are extremely copious, so go with an empty stomach!

They serve a brunch all week and they do a special Sunday brunch from October to March. Their brunch options include scrambled eggs, toasted sandwiches, fruit, scones, fruit juices and hot drinks.

If you love brunch but have dietry allergies or intolerances, then Dennys is the place for you. They do gluten-free cakes and lactose-free drinks.

They also serve amazing coffees, all made with certified organic coffee. The place is close to the center but it’s just outside of the very busy area so it shouldn’t be too difficult to get a table.

This little café/restaurant‘s terrace looks over the beautiful Halle aux Grains, a former corn exchange that was transformed into a concert hall in 1974.

They do brunch on Sundays which includes a hot meal and a freshly squeezed fruit juice, but the price also includes an all-you-can-eat sweet and savory buffet selection and unlimited hot drinks.
