Afterwork, giant egg hunt, Gigiland, the roof-terrace restaurant at Midica in Esquirol, has no shortage of new ideas when spring arrives.
A Toulouse-style rooftop full of proposals
With the arrival of fine weather, Gigiland, one of the few Toulouse restaurants with a rooftop, offers afterworks once a month. Located on the fourth floor of Midica, the store and the restaurant extend their opening until 9 p.m. for nights every first Thursday of the month. The terrace, open only since July 2020, is one of the strengths of the restaurant where yoga workshops will develop.
Gigiland, a young restaurant associated with Midica
A resumption of projects therefore, after a difficult period slowed down by the vagaries of covid. “We have been living again for a few weeks, we are finally seeing people’s smiles,” rejoices Rosine, co-founder of the restaurant. With her experience in the catering industry, Rosine has teamed up with Florence, a dietician, to open a catering space in the famous decoration store in Toulouse in 2019. Open during Midica hours (9:30 a.m. to 7:30 p.m.), Gigiland offers a wide range ranging from breakfast to brunch and afternoon tea. This association with Midica gives rise to joint projects: on April 13 and 16, a giant egg hunt, open to all, will be organized throughout the building.
A space open to all
“We have a broad target, ranging from infants to grandpa,” says Florence. With a space of 300m², Gigiland also offers workshops for children in a space dedicated to them. During the April holidays, music shows or drawing workshops are offered. For the older ones, a space can be privatized for workshop organizer for example. “We remain open to all proposals,” concluded Florence.
