Why Marché Victor Hugo matters
Marché Victor Hugo is where Toulouse shops. Stalls sell cheeses, charcuterie and fresh produce, and upstairs restaurants serve the market's ingredients cooked to order. Go for lunch rather than breakfast, when the upstairs counters are busy and the market atmosphere is at its height.
Talking points
- Restaurants upstairs use market produce.
- Cassoulet is the local classic.
- Mornings are busiest.
