Le Carbet D'Oc was probably my most frequented place in the whole of Toulouse (maybe even on a par with the uni I was meant to be studying at there - it was so pointless that I stopped going too much towards the end!).
Emma, Fiona and I discovered it in January when we met up for a drink; later in the evening Emma was hungry and had seen that Carbet did tapas, so we went there and never looked back! We probably went an average of once a week, and it was only about 2 mins walk from my house so was brilliant!

| Our first lunchtime platters! |
The absolute best thing they used to do there were the "Nuggets de poisson" (fish nuggets) with tartare sauce - they were like fishfingers but even better, but sadly they aren't on the menu any more!! The platters also used to come with a pudding and they used to do nutella milkshakes which were amazing but have also been taken off now - obviously the French people who were eating there after we left just didn't have the good taste we do! My and Fiona's platter here was the fish nuggets and also came with some cheese and grilled vegetables on toast which was great.
The first time I ever tried the cocktails was on Tanya's visit in March - it was a 35 degree day and we sat outside for lunch then cocktails and played cards, and it felt like we were on a summer holiday (which I guess my whole year basically was, in hindsight)! Thankfully they haven't taken our favourites off the menu - here I am drinking a Bora Bora, which is a non alcoholic one, with pineapple juice and lychee syrup and it tastes like summer in a glass. The other best one is the "soleil levant" which is probably the most delicious drink I have ever had
Again, it is so summery and fruity, and I think it tastes really fragrant and a bit like roses! It is delicious! When I went back to Toulouse I took James and my dad here, and I obviously went back with Fiona and Agapé friends too!
On the first night we didn't have any tapas (as it was just after the veggie restaurant!) but the second time we decided to go for it!
We had 1 and a half portions of chips each, "boeuf mariné" (marinated beef), a chicken dish which was like chicken korma, and duck hearts!
The chips here are, I think, the best I have ever had. They are cooked in duck fat and are so soft and salty that I could eat them all day. The beef was amazingly tender and well flavoured and the chicken was actually in one of the best curry sauces I've had! The duck hearts were also great although not quite as good as those at Le Picotin.

I can't recommend Carbet D'Oc highly enough and I miss it so much - I think it was the location of some of my favourite times in Toulouse, and the amazing food and drinks definitely helped contribute to that!
A few photos from other times there:
