Guest sentiment
A snapshot of what local diners frequently mention about this location.
"We had dinner here while visiting Carcassonne. Food was good. Enjoyed the atmosphere sitting outside in the square. Service was good as well."
"First time having cassoulet; sublime! As was the duck shank confit."
"Great service, great food, very friendly staff, calm atmosphere and overall a great experience! Took my wife there for her birthday, and they were super well orientated and very informative for any questions we had. Staff could speak some English and didn't even hesitate to try their best to explain things to us that we didn't quite get. Amazing wine selection too, especially from r the price! Portions very generous, and I'd definitely recommend the "Magre de canard" or their house burger! Chef is a great cook and even took the time to check on tables and ask how the food was! I saw a few negative reviews about the mussels and chips, well they don't seem to be on the menu anymore so no worries Would for sure recommend this place to anyone looking for a good hearty meal in Carcassonne!"
