2 Best Restaurants in Narbonne, Toulouse and the Languedoc

The concept here is simple and quite entertaining: Bébelle (former rugby player Gilles Belzon) shouts your order through a megaphone to the meat stand across the market's alley. When ready, the wrapped-up meat is tossed back over and deftly caught by the rugbyman, who then passes it over to be grilled on the plancha. The straightforward lunches are served with fries and salad. Located in the bustling covered market, it's very popular, so arrive early before the lines start forming. There is also a full-service restaurant next to Les Halles at 2 rue Emile Zola, with the same menu but without the show.

This bistro-style eatery is the highlight of the busy collection of restaurants on the Cours Mirabeau. In the kitchen, the chef whips up artful dishes using fresh, regional produce to create a regularly changing menu that draws locals and tourists alike. Be sure to reserve a table, especially on market days (Thursday and Saturday).
