      Open the door to an atypical culinary universe in the heart of an emblematic place steeped in history, in the city center of Albi, 25 minutes from Gaillac. La Forge du Vieil Alby is the new adventure of Bernard Gisquet, a cooking enthusiast who above all likes to share good dishes and good times. The establishment is experiencing a true renaissance in 2023 under the influence of a man with a big heart who wishes to transmit stories, flavors and emotions through homemade recipes. Successful bet !


      La Forge du Vieil Alby, an authentic restaurant to discover in the Tarn


      Throughout the renovation, Bernard Gisquet preserved the soul of the place and retained the charm of the stone walls, the particularity of the low doors and the roundness of the vaulted arches to create his own universe. A touch of modernity is brought by the furniture with simple, but elegant tables and chairs. Settle into a cozy and warm room, a passionate team working in the kitchen and serving to offer you a timeless moment. The space can also be privatized for your special events, do not hesitate to inquire.

      Traditional, bistronomic or even brasserie, whatever name you give it, Bernard Gisquet's only objective is to delight you. Self-taught in his cooking, he now reworks the recipes of grandmothers and so-called great chefs, but also lets his imagination express itself through tasty and balanced dishes. On the menu, only fresh, seasonal products are carefully processed and served by his team or by Bernard Gisquet himself, who also masters the art of serving and takes pleasure in bringing you your dish. Dress your plate with homemade bread and finish your glass of wine which was the perfect match for the menu ordered. La Forge du Vieil Alby is the freedom to express yourself in an atypical setting with personalized cuisine.

    The food was amazing and the staff was great. Our waiter was Marco who spoke English and was brilliant, even helping with translations we have struggled with in the past when ordering. Would definitely go back again and can't wait until we do.

    we choose sign two points: 1. we were not very hungry, so we enjoyed a lot with only a few dishes. the rise with mushrooms, tuna, veal and "calm in Paris" dessert plus glass of red wine - all was extra small but perfect dishes! we had an English menu adding to a very kind explanation. Thank you for so pleasant guesting. we liked the interior and the atmosphere of the restaurant too. 2. we were complitely surprised to find a bill for 220 euro, icluded 140 euro for AIR! removed after we asked to explain... our advice - check your bills. last row - our best wishes!

  • "Disappointing"

    3 / 5 Reviews posted by Meredith W (Castres, France) on 28/11/2023

    Excruciatingly slow service--not the waiters' fault, we suspect, but the kitchen. We were all ordering from the offered menus of the day, so why it took so long in a half-empty restaurant we cannot...
