In the heart of the Saint-Aubin neighborhood, on Riquet Street, Bistrot August opened its doors on October 16th. Founded by Léopold Gillen and Maxime Renvaze, two long-time friends and former students of the Saint-Gaudens hotel school, this bistro-wine bar celebrates traditional French cuisine with a modern twist.

After traveling the world, the two partners have decided to settle down in Toulouse. Together, they pay tribute to Auguste Escoffier, an iconic figure of French gastronomy, by creating a place that brings everyone together, in every sense of the word.

A 100% homemade and seasonal kitchen

At Bistrot August, everything is homemade, from the rillettes to the pâté en croûte, not to mention the creamy soups or vegetable tarts. Here, there are no frozen products! At lunchtime, the menu changes weekly with a starter-main-dessert option for just 25€, showcasing traditional recipes. On Sundays, a unique 35€ formula highlights market finds and current inspirations. In the evenings, it’s all about sharing with appetizers to enjoy with friends: bone marrow, cow cheese, or delicious pig rillettes.

A warm atmosphere, just like home

The atmosphere at Bistrot August is a delightful blend of simplicity and authenticity. With wooden tables, vintage dishware, and a counter that doubles as a wine cellar, you'll quickly feel right at home! The wine bottles, carefully selected by Léopold and Maxime, come with great news: you can buy these bottles at cellar prices!

Address: 62 Rue Pierre-Paul Riquet, 31000 Toulouse, France
