How this list is chosen: Restaurants with a Wine Spectator Restaurant Award or a deep wine list, listed alphabetically. Updated October 8, 2026.

Assoiffés
Deep wine list
On Place Robert Schuman, Assoiffés occupies a corner of Toulouse that takes wine seriously without the ceremony that usually accompanies that seriousness. The name, French for 'the thirsty ones', signals the register immediately: this is a wine-led address where the glass shapes the meal, not the other way around. For Toulouse, that positioning puts it in a distinct tier of its own.
Le 5 Wine Bar
Deep wine list
Awarded a 3-Star Accreditation by the World of Fine Wine Awards, Le 5 Wine Bar on Rue de la Bourse occupies a specific niche in Toulouse's drinking culture: a venue where the glass leads and the table follows. In a city better known for its Michelin-rated kitchens, this wine-forward address offers a different kind of evening, paced by the bottle rather than the course.
Les Planeurs
Deep wine list
Among Toulouse's mid-range farm-to-table addresses, Les Planeurs on Boulevard des Minimes has earned consecutive Michelin Plate recognition in 2024 and 2025, signalling consistent kitchen standards at a price point well below the city's top creative tables.It's a reliable choice for a considered meal without the ceremony of a full tasting-menu occasion.
MAGNUM
Deep wine list
Wine bar and restaurant owned by Toulouse wine merchant Julian Pallaruelo, focused on artisan wines and seasonal food.
Michel Sarran
1 Michelin star · Deep wine list
Among the few fine dining addresses in southwest France to hold both a Michelin star and membership in Les Grandes Tables du Monde, Michel Sarran occupies a distinct position in Toulouse's creative dining tier. The restaurant draws a loyal clientele who return for cooking that bridges southern French produce with disciplined technical craft. Reservations are tightest on Friday lunches and Tuesday evenings.
Mordus
Deep wine list
On Rue Saint-Roch in Toulouse's Saint-Cyprien quarter, Mordus occupies a position in the city's mid-tier modern dining scene that rewards those who look beyond the Michelin-flagged names. Compared to the €€€€ creative kitchens of Michel Sarran or Py-r, Mordus pitches at a different price register without abandoning the sourcing discipline that defines the stronger end of Toulouse's restaurant culture.
Py-r
2 Michelin stars · Deep wine list
Toulouse's most decorated creative kitchen, Py-r holds two Michelin stars and a La Liste score of 79 points under chef Pascal Prince, operating from a site near the old fish market in the city centre. The cooking sits firmly in the creative register, drawing on the produce traditions of the Midi-Pyrénées while pushing well beyond regional convention. For the city's top table, book ahead.
Solides
Deep wine list
A Michelin Plate-recognised address on Rue des Polinaires, Solides sits in Toulouse's growing tier of mid-price modern French restaurants that trade on cooking precision rather than formal ceremony. It holds consistent appeal in a city where the gap between bistro and fine dining is narrowing. The €€ pricing makes it one of the more accessible entry points into Toulouse's contemporary dining scene.
Stéphane Tournié - Les Jardins de l'Opéra
1 Michelin star · Deep wine list
Les Jardins de l'Opéra sits at 1 Place du Capitole, where Stéphane Tournié, trained under Philippe Legendre at Taillevent and Christian Constant at the Crillon, serves a Southwest-rooted modern menu at the €€€ price point. A glass-roofed courtyard and parquet dining room make it one of Toulouse's most architecturally distinctive addresses. Open Tuesday through Saturday for lunch and dinner; closed Sunday and Monday.
