The famous Toulouse brasserie on the Place du Capitole Le Bibent has been taken over by Dépêche du Midi and Esprit Pergo. An emblematic place in the Pink City created in 1870, Le Biben saw star chef Christian Constant take up the kitchen in 2011, under the leadership of entrepreneur Thierry Oldak.

The two new buyers therefore wish to relaunch this institution. “It must remain one of the most beautiful places in Toulouses. We need beautiful cuisine, a high-end brasserie that remains accessible,” says Thomas Fantini.
