Bistrot L'Esplanade
restaurant in Colomiers
Welcome to the page of our restaurant, the bistrot l'Esplanade, located in Colomiers, where we offer you simple and gourmet dishes.

Originally from Reunion Island, the Chef likes to work with sea products which he combines with the numerous products of our local producers. I am thinking, for example, of the trout steak with its marbled crust, glazed leeks and dried tomatoes, which is currently on the Menu.
He also likes to cook fish and does not hesitate to associate it with cold condiments, such as his "half-cooked trout and fennel saladine with sweet and sour ginger sauce"..
The Chef's life path has also enabled him to discover vegetarian and gluten-free cuisine. He has been inspired by this to create gourmet pastries, but I'll stop here, you'll discover these surprises the next time you visit us.
See you soon,
Marie-Laure B., Manager of the Toulouse Colomiers establishment.

Our chef
Passionate & Fascinating
Originally from the enchanting island of La Réunion, Ilan Thénor, the Chef du bistrot l’Esplanade, draws extensively from the treasures of "his" cuisine to compose the restaurant's menu. "As the chef of the restaurant, I try to offer a harmonious, modern, and traditional menu," he says.
Falling in love with cooking, "since I was 13," watching his parents behind the stove, Ilan greatly appreciates the taste values of his island while admitting that French cuisine is still his favorite. He finds his inspiration in his childhood memories and culinary discoveries, offering a gastronomic experience rich in flavors.
So don't be surprised, during your tasting at Bistrot l’Esplanade, if your desires to travel come back with every bite...
