Cassoulet de Toulouse is the city's signature slow-cooked bean dish with confit duck, Toulouse sausage and pork belly. Reservations recommended in season.
The cassoulet's origin legend places it around 1355 during the Hundred Years' War, when Castelnaudary peasants under English siege threw beans, sausage and confit duck into a clay cassole. The Toulouse version, distinct from Castelnaudary and Carcassonne, uses confit duck plus the city's coiled saucisse de Toulouse. The Confrerie du Cassoulet de Toulouse was founded in April 2022 to defend the recipe.
