We had a proper dinner in this place. It was a delicious food overall. Impressed with scallops appetizers and the mango desert! But the main dish lamb was average for me with a bit rigid meat.

We went for lunch and we're invited. A good experience. The waiters were busy because of a group so service kinda started slowly but staff was very friendly and professional. There was no baby chair in the restaurant. The dishes were tasty and portions quite big. The cactus parfait for desert was great. The garden is huge and a bliss for young kids.

The place in a nice garden and the house is an old nice and charming building. The closeness to the airport and HQ of “Airbus” is practical for those who come from there. The service was friendly but in my eyes not highly professional (serving dishes at different moments, explaining the dishes so long that they were already cold, forgetting the text for the text). The food was nicely prepared, the products fresh and from good quality. Nevertheless I was not satisfied with the taste combinations of the food and well the way the food was prepared can be further improved (frying time of different products, usage of oil, “crispness” of vegetables). As well the wine suggestion for my dishes did not fit that well and could be highly improved, especially with such a great variety of wine list. The airplanes which fly directly over the house every few minutes disturb a calm dinner but nevertheless the place is cosy and welcoming.

Had absolutely wonderful time here. the walk from the parking lot to the restaurant was enjoyable for a start, nice garden with little pond. we had the surprise menu with wine pairing on the terrace. it was summer time we visited so forgot the details, but all the dishes tasted original and good. also tried every type available on the cheese cart, one or two of them might be too strong but had good mariage with fruit compote. we felt quite full at the end, but the dessert was irresistible. the only downside is that the plane noises from the airport.. felt like every ten minutes.

One of my favorite restaurants so far. Near airbus construction site, you'll find a beautiful old building inside a wonderful garden. The food is as tasty as in a 1-star restaurant, but cheaper (cheapest menu around 35€). They have one of the most complete wine menu of the region. You'll be served by professionals and passionate waiters, which makes eating there a true experience. I highly recommend this restaurant

I visited Le Cantou for lunch on a Friday afternoon and had an amazing time. The restaurant grounds are beautiful and include a pond with fish. I had the €38 tasting menu which was brilliant and great value for money considering the choices and how good everything tasted. The pork belly starter of the day melted in my mouth, the beef stew was packed with flavour and the deconstructed tiramisu with coffee ice cream was delicious. I would highly recommend visiting if you're in the area.

Great food, great ambiance & great location if you are crazy about planes. The weather was warm enough to sit in the outdoor patio for dinner. Our pleasure in sampling the very French cuisine was interjected by overflying aircraft on the approach path of Blagnac airport every few minutes. The manicured lawns are a real pleasure for the senses only to be superseded by the fresh and delicious Fois Gras. Good selection in the menu. I tried the Canard Escalope to follow the Fois Gras. Cooked just right the duck was simply perfect. Try this restaurant. If the interference of planes is a bother, get a table inside the tastefully decorated farm house.
