      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.

      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.

    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.

    Superb restaurant. The ambiance was very pleasant and the service was warm, friendly and welcoming. My wife and I visited at lunchtime and we chose the "Air" menu: the food was fantastic - the best we had had in Albi. We thoroughly enjoyed our time at La Forge. The next day: we went again! Different menu choices and the food was just as good. The service was impeccable and helped make the experience one to remember. An excellent restaurant!

  • "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...
