"I've left it a few hours but I must post. today we visited the Pontie in Albi. we waited 20 minutes before going to find a waiter to place our hot chocolate order. After 10 minutes the waiter appeared and told us he could not serve us and that we are BANNED due to my previous review on waiting to be served I posted in the summer where we waited for over 1hr. the manager rather than reply to the post with an apology or sort out the problem decided to ban us instead. Really surely reviews are there for constructed criticism and not for punishing those who have genuine cause to complain. Not a good business plan. SHAME ON YOU MANAGEMENT"

We called here for a drink and to people watch on an extremely hot day. The outside tables had plenty of shade and the service was very good.

We had a drink here after walking around the town. It was a very pleasant spot with good service and fair prices. Worth remembering if you are walking that way View menu

Love the quotes around the walls in this cafe. Lots of comfy seating, great choice of all kinds of drinks and ice creams, but not really a place to eat. Coffee hyper strong !

Installed at the back of the terrace without having touched the very sticky tables, even the glasses and napkins stuck to the table : Average service, no salt, 2 small carafes of water for a table of 7,.... The dishes were good

Restaurant and staff, very friendly. On the other hand, the kitchen forgot to serve side dishes. We waited 10 minutes for the runner to come and serve us our dishes placed on the torpedo boat. They exchanged the dishes for us without any problem. To try again on a future visit. View menu

Food was okay and on the expensive side. The plus points are location on a Saturday night as there are free concerts on the square and the waiters work really hard to get everything just right. It's a piece of old school France that seems to be disappearing. The wine list is heavy on the reds.

Shaded terrace as well as places inside. Friendly enough staff with some English, menu in French. The tartar de boeuf was with salad, well nobody outside France would call this a salad, but when in Rome. Prices are high; simple glass of beer 6,20 and a glass of Chardonnay was 11 euros!!! Would not recommend this restaurant

"Our second night in Albi and two restaurants we wanted to visit in the evening were closed. We decided to venture to a small local Vietnamese restaurant that received only 11 reviews but all very good and from French visitors. We arrived early and we're the only customers but received a friendly greeting in French with little English but a willingness to work with our very limited language skill. We decided on the fixed price menu at 17Euros a person. My husband had the shrimp salad, the beef with onions and peppers with rice all very fresh tasting and the salad had wonderful and crunchy ingredients in a lightly creamed dressing. I chose the beef and nem...a lovely dish with ginger spiced noodle, small slices of perfectly tender beef and two small fried rolls stuffed with finely shredded veggies and meat. My main dish was the shrimp (crevettes) Thailandaise a most delicious combination of crisp onion, cabbage, and a fantastic spiced cream sauce. I was told it was spicy but without the final dash of hot sauce it had just the right amount of zip. Both of us had the banana flambé to finish. This was just the right amount of food...not so much food that it could be shared. The cost including a lovely bottle of Gaillac Rouge was about 47 Euros. We feel this was a wonderful and very pleasant dinner and well worth the price. Thanks again to Evean our waitress and her parents the chefs!"
