Cafés
1 Le Café des Artistes Place de la Daurade Lively young café overlooking the Garonne. A perfect spot to watch the sun set on warm summer evenings, as floodlights pick out the brick buildings along the quais
2 Bibent 5 place du Capitole. On the south side of the square, this is Toulouse's most distinguished café, with exuberant plasterwork, marble tables and cascading chandeliers.
3 Le Florida 12 place du Capitole Relaxed café with a retro air. One of the most pleasant places to hang out on the central square.
4 Jour de Fête 43 rue de Taur Trendy tearoom and brasserie with a small street-side patio. Friendly service and a young university-set crowd.
5 Le Shanti 21 rue Peyrolières A funky "Indian" tea house where you can enjoy a narghile (Arab water-pipe).
