The restaurant Le Florida of the Ramouneda family, where 4 generations succeed each other, is a culinary institution in the town and well beyond. A commitment rewarded with a plate in the Michelin Guide, a score of 14/20 in Gault et Millau and included in the Fooding selection. For the past few years, Baptiste has taken over the reins of the establishment under the benevolent eye of Bernard, his father, who is never far from the kitchen. After revamping and bringing something new, Baptiste has just added a string to his bow in a somewhat unexpected direction. But before that we have to go back a few months, or during the health crisis, Baptiste had launched take-out meals “which is another job. We also had to keep Florida’s DNA”, with family dishes “explains Baptiste. A first step in its reflection on development and above all adaptation in these periods of severe constraints, inflation, etc. In addition, the quietest period in terms of turnover, the difficulty of finding staff, completed by constantly increasing charges, for example, led him to try a new experience and adventure.”We are going to meet people, take Florida out of its walls, break codes, recreate links, bring our cuisine to the amateurs. To do this, we go as a family with dad to the markets for “street food”, a popular concept that even great chefs have adopted. Nevertheless, we are going to keep the soul of Florida, with family recipes, with quality and local products worked by our chef Marc Abramovici, while having an aggressive pricing policy”. On the menu, stuffed chicken, osso bucco of orange veal, black pork cassoulet, porcini mushroom stew, the famous veal sweetbreads, or even signature burgers, hot dogs, desserts and many other products to discover.To find Baptiste and Bernard , you will have to go to the markets of Samatan (Monday), Fleurance (Tuesday), Gimont (Wednesday), Eauze (Thursday) and Lectoure (Friday) for a culinary experience.
