Miam Thai

A more unconventional dining option, Miam Thai is the best place to go in Toulouse for authentic Thai cuisine.

Each meal is prepared before your eyes, and most are served with a drink and dessert. Each day the truck is a new location within the city of Toulouse, so check their website for the schedule.
