    • La Fourchette Adroite, sublime market cuisine to be enjoyed in the heart of Albi


      This lovely play on words intrigues the curious and the gourmands who push open the door of an establishment with undeniable charm : La Fourchette Adroite. Located at the foot of the Sainte-Cécile Cathedral opposite the Toulouse-Lautrec Museum, the restaurant is the result of a beautiful communion between chef Nicolas Roussel and his mother Fabienne who agree to offer you a unique tasting moment. Grab your fork, normally, it's on the right!


      La Fourchette Adroite, 100% homemade cuisine to delight your taste buds

      A pure delight awaits you in this friendly restaurant open every day, lunch and dinner, except Wednesday and Thursday. Balanced and carefully crafted, the elaborate dishes are little marvels to be savored throughout the year with an evolution of flavor according to the seasons. Chef Nicolas Roussel overflows with imagination to promote French cuisine by drawing inspiration from fresh and local products, a desire to promote his terroir and its producers who are highlighted in each of his recipes. Filet mignon and chorizo sauce, sea bream fillet and vegetable vierge, hamburger of the season served with homemade fries… There is something for everyone without forgetting the desserts which are delicious as you wish.


      La Fourchette Adroite, a privileged setting for year-round dining in Albi

      The charming welcome offered by Fabienne, Nicolas's mother, brings a family touch to the atmosphere of the restaurant where you almost feel "at home". The renovation of the establishment reinforces this feeling of well-being with a contemporary decoration in a loft lounge spirit composed of wooden tables, a magnificent central brick beam and subdued lighting which gives an intimate feel to the room. Settle into a comfortable armchair to discover the menu and the 3 menus offered including the lunch formula served from Monday to Friday lunchtime, and let yourself be seduced by a wine list from the Gaillac estate with a beautiful Tarn aperitif offer. In summer, the terrace is pleasant with a breathtaking view of the museum as well as the cathedral, while a mezzanine upstairs can be privatized to organize your professional or private events. Whether you're with family, your partner, friends or colleagues, La Fourchette Adroite is a great place to meet up, where high chairs are available for little ones and pets are welcome.


      The little extra: the menus are translated into English and Spanish, and the restaurant is accessible to people with reduced mobility with adapted toilets.

    We had a great time. The food was top-notch, with seasonal ingredients and very well-prepared. Excellent value for money. Responsive and welcoming service. Thank you.

    The meal was marred by a few points that needed to be reviewed. The cocktails were highlighted, so we ordered a Mojito and a cocktail with Schweppes apple juice and violet syrup. The Mojito arrived in 2 minutes flat. It's impossible if you follow the minimum instructions (crushing the mint with a pestle and mortar with sugar, using crushed ice, etc.). The Mojito arrived with black mint leaves! Not one, but almost all of them. This isn't my usual style, but I pointed it out to the woman looking after us, and she went to remake it, telling me that the leaves had been changed this morning. Once the new cocktail arrived, I couldn't taste any rum or sparkling water at all, and there were no bubbles. I drank a mint syrup. The other cocktail had no bubbles, nor did it taste like Schweppes citrus. Neither cocktail was satisfactory. The wait was too long. The starter arrived 35 minutes after we were seated. The main course arrived 1 hour and 10 minutes after we were seated. It's a shame because the dishes seem to be prepared with fresh, homemade ingredients.
