Where can I eat at or near the Cité de l'Espace?

We no longer present the Cité de l'Espace (Space City), an unmissable site in Balma to visit when you go to Toulouse. This theme park is so large that it is advisable to spend at least a whole day there to discover it. However, taking a break is important to be able to test in top form and continue to stroll around the area. Find out in which restaurant to eat at the Cité de l'Espace or nearby.

What are the restaurants at the Cité de l'Espace?

Image

There are a total of 4 catering points within the complex. This will allow you to take a break before continuing the history of the conquest of space:

• the restaurant l'Astronaute (the Astronaut);
• the 149 Café;
• the Terrasse Guyanaise (Guyanese Terrace);
• the food trucks.

The restaurant l'Astronaute

In the Gardens, under the reception hall, a variety of dishes await you in this establishment. A children's menu under 10 is also present on the menu. Between grilled meats and fish, it will surely be difficult to make a choice, especially if you are a lover of these foods. For those who prefer it, the restaurant offers large salads. Fan of red or white wines? The menu offers you a selection of AOPs: something to feast on during your lunch!

The 149 Café

Do you prefer to eat in a modern and design snack bar? In this case, the 149 Café located in the Hall of Astralia is an excellent choice. Here, opt for a delicious burger with fries; you will not regret it.

The Terrasse Guyanaise

This establishment is only open during certain periods, so it is necessary to check its hours on the Cité de l'Espace website. You can have your meal and sit on a terrace for a while to regain your strength. This is a sandwich shop that will allow you to quickly grab a bite to eat while observing the iconic life-size model of Ariane 5.

The food trucks

Only present on the site in summer, you will not see them outside this season. Friendly, it's a way to discover new flavors without breaking your budget in the Gardens and benefiting from a fast service. It is therefore not for nothing that food trucks have become so popular in such a short time. Enjoy the good weather while enjoying your food.

Can we picnic at the Cité de l'Espace?

Yes, picnic areas are present on the site. If you have a special diet or don't want to spend too much money on catering, bringing your own lunch is possible. There are two places where you can eat your meal with your family. The advantage is that even in bad weather, you can always bring your food, because these are covered rooms.

Attention: do not take your meal inside the attractions or at the location of the various exhibitions. Whether it's the Mir space station or the planetarium, finish your sandwich or drinks before you go!

Is it possible to leave and re-enter the Cité de l'Espace to eat?

Yes, the Cité de l'Espace has thought of its visitors who come and go. You can therefore enter the same day as many times as you wish until the complex closes. Remember to keep your ticket as proof of reservation. If the various catering options do not suit you on site, you can therefore go out to find a restaurant that suits your tastes outside.

In which restaurant to eat near the Cité de l'Espace?

Too many people at the Cité de l'Espace's catering outlets? You don't want to spend your visit waiting your turn to be served? In this case, opt for restaurants outside the site! Thinking of making a reservation the day before turns out to be a good idea, because you are staying in a tourist area. The smallest establishments will not be able to accommodate a crowd of hungry visitors either! With this selection, no need to leave the capital of Occitanie, nor to go to the city center or to Montaudran.

The Villa des Oliviers

Pizza, although Italian, has earned a special place in the hearts of the French. It is surely one of the most consumed dishes in the country! This is good since the pizzeria La Villa des Oliviers offers you a whole selection of delicious pizzas in its establishment. Located at 1 avenue Jean Gonord, you can get there in less than 10 minutes! Remember to check the hours, as closing is generally done during the weekend.

Canteen & Gamelle

At 25 avenue Marcel Dassault, you can recharge your batteries with the restaurant chain Cantine & Gamelle. Here, you can devour salads, sandwiches, burgers and packed lunches 5 minutes by car from the theme park. It is possible to come by bus by taking line 37 and getting off at the La Plaine stop.

L'instant T

As its name suggests, the cuisine focuses on fresh, seasonal and local products. The menu changes every three weeks, which avoids monotony. The dishes are carefully prepared and turn out to be quite original, with the personal touch added by the chef. This may therefore not be suitable for everyone. To avoid any surprises, go to their site before booking your table at 21 avenue Marcel Dassault.
