Toulouse. Bowling, karting, restaurant … The largest leisure complex in the city reopens

Here we go again ! The Toulouse-Montaudran leisure complexlocated at impasse Louise Labé, a stone’s throw from the Toulouse ring road, reopened on the weekend of November 12 and 13, 2022. The establishment had been closed since the beginning of the year, following a fire.
This rebirth is the work of Anthony and Franck B., two brothers and entrepreneurs from Corrèze, who already own a restaurant in the Balma-Gramont area in Toulouse : At Yvonne’s. They bought the complex from its creator, Philippe Laik.
The largest leisure area in Toulouse
Extending its activities to 7500 meters2this establishment is the largest leisure complex in the Toulouse conurbation.
I propose theone of the largest bowling in Francewith 28 tracks, indoor go-karting at 5000m2 whose unusual circuit takes a bridge or a tunnel, several play areas (billiards, table football, arcade games), a space dedicated to seminars and companies, a large central bar and a restaurant.

The restaurant Chez Molly like Chez Yvonne
If the regulars of this complex opened in 2005 will easily rediscover the sensations they experienced on the bowling alleys or the karting circuit, they will not recognize the catering part. The new owners want to go all out in their 200-seat restaurant baptized “At Molly’s”; on the model of Chez Yvonne, their restaurant in Balma renowned for its quality and its more than generous plates.
We named our first restaurant in homage to our grandmother, Yvonne, where we learned about good food and quality on the plate. Molly is our second grandmother and her table was just as delicious!
The great classics of Chez Yvonne will be on the menu at Chez Molly and in particular grilled meats (Black Angus, Aubrac or Galice), from Maison Lascours in Toulouse or the Lariès farm (Aveyron), the famous XXL Carpaccio-Burrata and exquisite desserts, prepared by a pastry chef. To taste, 7 days a week, noon and evening.
Corporal beer and the DBF Auto dealership involved
The new owners of the Toulouse-Montaudran leisure complex have decided to involve several partners in their projects, according to a new formula, already practiced in stadiums or performance halls: naming.
Thus, the bar of the establishment took the name of “bar Caporal” in reference to the artisanal brewer of Toulouse “which becomes our exclusive supplier since all the draft beers offered within the complex will be of the Caporal brand”, assures Anthony.
Same strategy for karting. It takes the name of DBF Auto, a well-known car dealer in Toulouse and in the great south west to distribute the Volkswagen brand.
World Cup and snacking on the bowling lanes
The Chez Molly menu will also include a few exceptions: “We wanted to include a nice variety of pizza and of pastawhat we don’t do at Chez Yvonne”, announces Anthony.
It is also possible to take advantage of part of this menu, directly on the bowling alleys in order to satiate a small hollow without giving up your game: pizzas, burgers and croques-monsieur. This summer, the catering section will extend outdoors.
But before the return of fine weather, the complex fully exploited its indoor potential, particularly during the Football World Cup, from November 20. Several screens located throughout the establishment (including the karting) make it possible to follow the matches in optimal conditions.
A festive but also family place
“We defend the idea of a cfestive leisure complex, on the strength of a truly high-quality catering”, sums up Franck. “We also want to make this establishment a very family-friendly place.”
To do this, the owners must add to their bowling and games room offers (already accessible for the youngest), go-karting for children with the purchase of adapted go-karts, but also give families the possibility of reserving and privatizing a part places for the organization of children’s birthday parties.
