The big market buffet, located at Min in Toulouse, offers a varied and quality at will, with fresh, local products and dishes ranging from homemade cold cuts to gourmet desserts. Open since January 2023, it appeals to a large clientele thanks to its wide choice and their anti-gaspillage approach.
It is noon, all the unlimited dishes of the large market buffet were generously garnished and the first customers are already crossing the restaurant door. In a fine connoisseur, Nadine is part of the lot. “What is interesting here is that we are on a Min restaurant, where the supply is local with fresh and cooking products, there is a real chef. We know we are going to eat well. When you are several, everyone can choose what they like. Freedom of choice is also what motivated Vanessa and Jean-François who discover the place. “I like to take lots of things but in small quantities, like that, I taste everything,” confirms this client.

Anyway for gourmets who have the eyes larger than the belly, the waste will be billed “2 € per 100g”. This is at least what is written on the buffet map of the large market. In reality, the sanctions are rare. “It is rather a warning which consists in saying to people: do not take what you can eat,” rectifies Andreea Stanciu, the brand purchasing manager.
-Impossible to taste everything
Opened in January 2023, the large market buffet today appeals to a large and varied clientele. Open 7 days a week, it can accommodate up to 130 guests on weekends. A success carried out by the quality and variety of its dishes. Judge instead: in the house cold meats, there are chorizo, sausage, sausage, pâté in pistachio … The farandole of cold entrances includes marinated peppers, carpaccio of fennel, vinaigrette leeks, Mozzarella, a Greek salad, potatoes, pasta, hummus, mimosa eggs, beef carpaccio, muzzle, stuffed mushrooms …

For hot dishes, customers will have the choice this afternoon between chicken, pork chest and sausage. “On weekends, the pig and beef meat is offered at will”, specifies Andrééa. In the sea department, there are gratin scallops, fish stew and spring rolls. Let’s finish with the dessert corner, which is also richly busy. Between the tiramisu verrines (caramel, red fruits …), passion fruit cheesecakes, lemon tarts, macaroons, crème brûlée, milk rice, chocolate mousse, fruit salad, donuts , the canellates, … The choice is difficult. Again, it is impossible to taste everything. More reason to come back.
