Perfectly positioned for people-watching on Toulouse's grandest square, this busy cafe gleams with belle-époque trimmings that hark back to its 19th-century beginnings. There's a pleasing range of teas, wines by the glass and cocktails. Check its Facebook page for details on swanky soirées in Le Roof, the jazz lounge above the cafe.
Despite its location in prime tourist territory, Le Florida's brasserie serves quality and well-priced local fare from noon.
