Restaurant in Toulouse, France
Serious cooking without the serious price tag.
A Michelin Plate modern cuisine restaurant at the €€ price point, Gram's earns two consecutive Michelin Plate recognitions (2024 and 2025) and a 4.6 Google score across 477 reviews. It is the right book for a date night or celebration dinner in Toulouse when you want recognised quality without the €€€€ spend of Michel Sarran or Py-r. Booking is easy; aim for spring or autumn when regional produce is at its best.
Gram's is the right call for a date night or a quiet celebration dinner in Toulouse where you want cooking that takes sourcing seriously without paying four-figure prices. At the €€ price point with two consecutive Michelin Plate recognitions (2024 and 2025), it occupies a genuinely useful position: more ambitious than a neighbourhood bistro, considerably more accessible than the €€€€ tier occupied by Michel Sarran or Py-r. If you are planning a meal around a special occasion and want Michelin-recognised quality without committing to a full tasting-menu budget, Gram's is where to look first in Toulouse.
Timing matters here. Toulouse sits in the Occitanie region, where the seasonal market calendar runs hard from April through October — stone fruits, white asparagus, early summer vegetables, then the full run of autumn produce. A dinner at Gram's in May or September, when local suppliers are at peak output, gives the kitchen the most to work with. Midweek evenings tend to be quieter than Friday or Saturday, which is worth considering if you want a more relaxed atmosphere and easier table selection.
The Michelin Plate is a signal worth reading correctly: it means the inspectors found cooking worth eating, but not yet at the star level. For a €€ modern cuisine restaurant in a regional French city, that is a meaningful credential. A 4.6 rating across 477 Google reviews adds consistent independent support , that volume of reviews at that score suggests reliability rather than a single good run of press attention.
The editorial angle that defines Gram's positioning is sourcing. Modern cuisine at the €€ level in a city like Toulouse only makes sense if the kitchen is working directly with regional producers rather than relying on broad-distribution suppliers. The Occitanie region gives serious access to Pyrenean lamb, duck and foie gras from the Gers, Tarn river fish, and some of France's better small-scale market gardeners. A restaurant cooking at the Michelin Plate level in this context is almost certainly drawing on that supply chain , and if ingredient provenance matters to you as a diner, the price-to-quality ratio here is hard to argue with. Compare that approach to what you get at the €€€€ level: at Acte 2 Yannick Delpech, the sourcing is equally serious but the full experience costs meaningfully more. Gram's delivers a version of that philosophy at a price that makes a repeat visit realistic.
For reference on what Michelin recognition means at different tiers in France, venues like Bras in Laguiole and Mirazur in Menton sit at the starred end of that spectrum. Gram's Plate recognition places it in a different tier , but it is the correct tier for what this meal costs, and within that tier it is clearly performing.
Gram's is at 64 Rue de la Colombette, 31000 Toulouse , a central address that sits within easy reach of the city centre. Booking difficulty is rated easy, which means you are unlikely to need to plan weeks in advance, though for Friday and Saturday evenings during the spring and autumn market seasons, reserving a few days out is sensible. There is no listed dress code in the available data, but a €€ Michelin Plate venue in France generally expects smart casual , not formal, but not shorts and trainers either.

At €€ pricing with two consecutive Michelin Plates (2024 and 2025), Gram's represents one of the stronger value cases in Toulouse for structured, sourcing-led cooking.
