Mr.L restaurant in Toulouse: Occitan hot dogs
In the Carmes district, near the Place du Salin, a new street food address dedicated to hot dogs has opened its doors. Find all the ingredients of the New York hot dog, revisited with Occitan sauce.
A bit of Brooklyn in Toulouse! This is the challenge that three young people from Toulouse set themselves. Maïwenn, Léa and Louna opened a full hot-dog restaurant at the beginning of March: Monsieur L. Their goal is to offer all Hot-Dog enthusiasts the opportunity to enjoy a local and conscious street food concept. Maïween explains: “We wanted to bring diversity to Toulouse and to street food”.
Fresh and exclusively local products
Bread from the Angéline bakery in Saint-Michel, Toulouse sausage from the Cotelette butcher, Ariège sauces from Senchou, crisps from Aveyron, gnocchi from Nonna Lina… and drinks made in France with Euskola! Find the four pieces of the region on your plate, with which you can leave at the end of the meal. The three young entrepreneurs pay particular attention to the art of the table. Plates personalized with the image of the restaurant come to enlarge the collection of derivative products that Maïwenn wants to launch: “Napkins, caps, plates and t-shirts; beyond a simple hot-dog restaurant, we want to create a brand”.

Maïwenn, Léa and Louna took part in the Coup de Pouce competition, launched by the Le Roch-Les Mousquetaires foundation. It is aimed at creators of start-ups in the start-up phase, who need help to reach a decisive milestone. They finished third in the competition, which allowed them to win the sum of 4,000 euros. Thanks to this funding, you will soon be able to see Monsieur L’s scooter on the streets of the city. This is a kitchen bike that offers entertainment and hot dogs for sale in the different neighborhoods.
For the moment installed at 8 rue du Languedoc in Toulouse, the concept tends to develop and spread throughout France. Next step ? Montpellier! In the meantime, deliveries are possible via the Ubereats or Deliveroo platforms.
