Chez Navarre
Toulouse, France
The read// why locals go
Chez Navarre seats Toulouse at long shared tables in Saint-Étienne, serving South-West home cooking in the old table d'hôte tradition. Opened in 2006 on the Grande Rue Nazareth and run by Alain Audiau since 2015, it works to a simple format: you sit down with whoever else turned up, and dishes arrive to be passed around. The cooking is terroir food made in-house — terrines, slow-sauced dishes, soup, desserts — poured alongside regional wines. There is nothing minimal about it, and nothing precious either; the point of the room is that strangers end up talking. It stays a single address, with the same kitchen behind lunch and dinner from Monday to Saturday.
