La Friche Montaudran hosts company parties, after-work evenings, leaving drinks, birthdays and bachelor parties, from a reserved area for 20 guests to a full private hire. The site has a hall of 220 seats, a covered terrace of 100 seats and an open terrace of 300 seats, and the brand lists dedicated spaces for 15 to 500 people. It stands at 10 impasse Didier Daurat, in the Montaudran Aerospace district of Toulouse.
Seminars and company events
The venue is built for evening and lunchtime gatherings rather than meetings: there is no meeting room or projection set-up listed on the site. A company can book one area for its group or take over the whole site, on weekdays or at weekends, during the day or in the evening. The team builds the offer around the brief. Make clear you want the Montaudran site, since the brand runs two.
Games are part of the format. Groups have access to darts and pétanque, and a DJ can play during the evening. The venue also runs a public program of themed nights, comedy club evenings with an open mic, karaoke and concerts, which a group can join rather than book privately.
Rooms and capacities
The indoor hall takes 220 people. The covered terrace takes 100 and the open terrace 300. A group can reserve one of these areas from 20 people, or privatise the entire site. The site is accessible to guests with reduced mobility and has a reserved parking space for disabled drivers.
In winter the terraces change into a ski-station setting with igloos and gondola cabins that seat small groups for a raclette.
Accommodation
There are no bedrooms on site.
Catering
The food comes from four street-food stands that share the space, plus two bars. Les Mecs au Camion serve burgers made with Aveyron beef, local bread, IGP coppa and AOP Morbier, with fresh fries. Cocorita bakes Neapolitan pizzas in a wood-fired oven with a dough fermented for 72 hours. Quand Claudine cooks family Lebanese recipes with local, seasonal produce: hummus, tabbouleh, falafel and bowls. In winter, Comment Savoie serves raclette, Mont d'Or and tartiflette. Guests order by QR code and collect at the stand. The bars pour local beers, house soft drinks, a seasonal wine list and cocktails.
History and setting
La Friche was launched in 2018 by its two founders as a guinguette, an open-air bar and eating place in the French tradition, with long shaded terraces. The Montaudran site sits in the new Aerospace district built on the former airfield of Toulouse-Montaudran, a short walk from the Halle de la Machine. A second site, La Friche Gramont, operates in Balma.
The venue is open to the public from Tuesday to Saturday in the evening, with lunch service on Thursday and Friday, and is closed on Sunday and Monday, so a private event on those days or at lunchtime should be discussed with the team.
Getting there
Bus lines 37 (towards Ramonville), 78 (towards Saint-Orens Lycée) and 80 (towards Rangueil) serve the area. Parking is available on site. Toulouse-Matabiau station is about 15 minutes away by car, and Toulouse-Blagnac airport about 25 minutes.
