La Table du Sommelier
Across the 11th-century Pont Vieux is this bright, friendly bistro where the food almost takes a back seat to the wines: the owner's a qualified sommelier, and he's passionately knowledgeable about local vintages.

L'Esprit du Vin
David Enjalran's gastronomic restaurant is a gutbuster, renowned for lavish spreads of fine French food with a sky-high price tag to match. Menus are divided into five 'ateliers' (levels), and take their culinary cue from the changing seasons: the approach is very much Michelin-style, so it might be a bit stuffy for some. The lunchtime 'Pause Gourmande' is marginally more affordable at €23/27 for one/two courses. Reservations recommended.

Le Lautrec
This excellent restaurant is right opposite the Toulouse-Lautrec family home (in its former life it served as the carriage house and horse stables). It's now one our favourite food finds in Albi, offering a market-driven menu brimming with Gascon goodness and Gaillac wines, and a choice of tempting settings: a knick knack–packed interior or an outside patio shaded by fragrant wisteria.

Le Jardin des Quatre Saisons
Here you've got a choice of eating environments: the light, bright main dining room giving onto the street, or the intimate rear room with its cosy fireplace. Strong on tempting desserts, it also has a particularly tempting wine list.

La Tête de l'Art
Dishes for the adventurous such as jugged hare, tripe and boned pig's trotter mix with more traditional local stuff. It does excellent desserts (sink your spoon into their pistachio and chocolate tart) and gourmet takeaways.

Le Tournesol
This highly popular vegetarian restaurant - why, even the beers and wines are organic - is airy and full of light. The aircon blows in summer or you can eat outside on their terrace. Mixed salad platters are great.

Le Musée
Beneath the brick vaulting of what was once the bishop's stables, this attractive brasserie, its dominant colours deep red and black, offers traditional fare with a strong emphasis on meat dishes. Pizzas too.

Lou Sicret
Tucked away down an alley at the northwest corner of place du Vigan, this friendly, very Occitan, arty restaurant serves delightful regional cuisine in a secluded courtyard.

Le Vieil Alby
For authentic southwest flavours, this hotel restaurant is hard to better – it's a specialist in rich, traditional Gascon fare, heavy on the beef, duck and tarbais beans. House specials include homemade melsat sausages, dried pork stuffed with radishes and (of course) piping hot cassoulet.

L'Epicurien
The steely grey and glass facade says it all: this establishment is a temple to cutting-edge contemporary French cuisine, run by Swedish chef Rikard Hult and his wife Patricia. The presentation is so arty you'll almost feel guilty tucking into the dishes: delicate towers of roast monkfish or lamb noisettes, accompanied by an arty slash of sauce or a just-so sprig of herb. An utter spoil.
