Le Tournesol - Reserva de mesa

This place was packed with locals having lunch the day I ventured in. They were also short handed and I felt bad for the lone server who was running back and forth to the kitchen. He nodded in the direction of an empty table and brought me a menu. My french is not the best, so I struggled a bit with the menu. I opted for a leek tart that was served with lentils. And, of course a carafe of rose was in order. I sipped my wine and continued to be entertained with the comings and goings of the restaurant. Customers continued to arrive and with no more seats inside, the diners took a seat at the outside tables. Things calmed down a bit when I spied a man entering with an armful of bread...apparen...

We found Le Tournesol pretty much by accident - a real stroke of luck. It is small, but has a nice little outdoor terrace, and a small but interesting menu. We were there for lunch, and the menu consisted of two daily "specials" and a range of approx. 6 plates that seemed to be regular dishes. We had a Greek-themed platter, with a filled pitta bread as a centerpiece, accompanied by various salads, hummus etc., and the falafel platter - both delicious. Very reasonably priced, with very acceptable house wine and organic fruit juices, along with a very tempting dessert menu. We had a great lunch, and enjoyed every bite - everything tasted very fresh and was visually very appealing. The service...

We stopped into Albi to visit the cathedral and have lunch. This place was recommended by Rick Steves and I'm a vegetarian so I was hoping it would be as good as the reviews. We were not disappointed. We both had the mushroom tart (that came with a side of lentils and greens or greens and veggies depending if you picked the spicy option) and it was SO GOOD! So good that we were dissecting it to figure out how to make again at home :) The cafe was very yummy as well. The prices were fair for lunch and we dined outdoors which was lovely. The service was impeccable- we would go back on that alone! Everyone we talked to there spoke some English which really helped since our French is seriously p...

A lovely little vegetarian restaurant with lots of fresh interesting foods on offer. A choice of gluten free dishes too which seems to be a rarity in most places. Very busy, mainly with locals. We arrived 15 minutes after it opened at lunch time and it was almost full then. Inside and outside seating. Not sure if alcohol was served, didn't see any on the menu. Water was brought to the table without request. It was closed on Sunday and I think it's only open lunch times but not certain. We were sorry we didn't find it sooner or we would have visited more than once.Will certainly return if we're back in Albi. Reserva una mesa ahora

It was really refreshing to find a vegetarian restaurant in Albi and this one is a delight. The menu was so varied and sounded so delicious it was really hard to choose. There were three of us and we each chose different things and they were all very good. Each dish came with about 5 different items, many unusual and all tasty. Prices were very reasonable and it seemed better value than many of the more traditional French restaurants.The service was very good with pleasant staff and setting very attractive. We sat outside under colourful umbrellas as it was sunny, but inside was very nice too.

A rarity in this part of the World, a vegetarian restaurant. However, it was extremely disappointing. A boring selection of food which required no culinary skills what so ever. The owners appear to be taking advantage of vegetarians as it certainly was not good value. A baked potato, grated carrot, grated beetroot, boiled egg and a small amount of cheese on the plate for over 10.00€ does not represent good value or any where near it. No imagination has been used in offering bland, uninteresting salads. Staff were attentive and the restaurant is clean and comfortable.

The place was very busy, which is a good sign, but unfortunately, the waitress was visibly overwhelmed and a little careless (our table was mostly cleared but not cleaned, and the previous diner's water wasn't changed for us). There was only one vegan dish (riz afghan), and one that could be "veganised" by not adding a sauce (salads du Moyen-Orient) but it was tasty enough and overall, we'd go back.

It is not easy to find vegetarian restaurants in this region, but this place in Albi is a great find. The food is delicious and the service is very good. The apple crumble dessert was especially yummy! Reserva una mesa ahora

Pleasant enough restaurant, but food wasn't great quality and the combinations are just weird. Lots of dips and salad stuff, very little skill - more like a put together picnic experience.
