Filled up by the time we left at 9. I had the duck, and my compatriots had the steak with foie gras, vapeur (sea bass we think) and a child's prix fixe meal including salad, sweet potato fries (apparently rare in France), a hamburger patty, and scoop of ice cream. All of the food, including our foie gras/plum jam and leek/trout appetizers, was beautifully plated and balanced. It helped that my sister-- a fluent French speaker-- asked questions about the menu and helped us order, and she and the waiter seemed to get along. But I suspect that anyone with reasonable restaurant etiquette would get along swimmingly with this fine crew. Everything was great, and what finally sealed the deal was the chef peeking out to see if we were enjoying each course of the meal-- at the very end he came to correct our inaccurate guess on how to incorporate the rum pipette into our baba au rhum dessert: you inject it directly into the cake, not pouring over the top.

They served more vegetables with meat/fish that your usual French restaurant, which was a pleasant surprise. We also tried a tasty rice pudding for dessert. Delicious! The restaurant is small and cozy, and is decorated very creatively. Quaint. On shelves on one wall there is a collection of quirky vintage objects. I wish I took a photo. I highly recommend La Roulotte.

After checking reviews (including a couple of negative ones) and then going and looking at the menu and dining room during the lunch service we made a reservation for six people. The service was pleasant and prompt and the food was beautiful plated and very tasty. The gazpacho had great flavor and a nice level of heat. The poultry main I had was perfectly executed and delicious. The desserts were beautiful, though I found the panna cotta cloyingly sweet (delicious, but a bit much). My fellow dinners all seemed to agree that it was a great meal. They had the chicken satey starter, the baked cod and there beef mains and raved about all of them. Bottom line is that I'd unconditionally recommend this place.

We've tried to walk in unsuccessfully so many times and this last time we waited to book accommodations until after we booked this delicious restaurant. Life hack, you can book via what's app! When we arrived my name was already on our table. We were seated inside, which is great because by the end of October it's stating to get chilly and windy outside. We hadn't eaten breakfast, which is probably good because we wanted to try as much as possible and we were happy with everything!! We shared everything. The jamón and cheese plates were great! We got a small plates of the tuna tartar, which had great flavors and had quinoa, and octopus, with chorizo and a bean mashed in. We also ordered the rack of lamb and a cold veal dish. Everything we ate was amazing. The only thing I probably wouldn't order again is the jamón, but it wasn't bad-it's just there are better jamón cutters in Spain. The wine was good as well. We loved everything and left nothing! The only disappointment was we were too full to order dessert. Love that you can order tap water and it's drinkable in Narbonne too! Everything was beautifully presented and delicious and I think their menu is seasonal and changes so we will definitely keep booking ahead of time! Additional plus, they spoke some English and Spanish so while we are not French speakers we were able to be understood. Great experience and will definitely be back!

Hmmmmmm... This…read morerestaurant was listed as a Michelin *'ed restaurant in our guest house guide. Perhaps this was a long time ago because it certainly did not deliver as one would expect. Located on the edge of the Gorge de Cesse in the pretty village of Minerva this is an idea setting to establish a reputation for exceptional dining. The restaurant looks good, the views from the terrace are great but everything else lets it down from being an exceptional experience. On arrival the wait staff seemed unorganised, or unprepared for anyone to arrive. Once we were sat at the table which was a bit of a clumsy and awkward affair we had an aperitifs to start with. The kids had orangina in bottles, the problem being that the tops were not removed. Throughout the evening wait staff seemed to have a lot of trouble remembering who had what. This does not happen in Michelin *'ed restaurants. When it came to le fromages, it all fell apart. There were five of us, I was having the Menu autor de le truffle, so I had set courses. The other four had a choice between fromages or faisselle au miel as part of their set menus. So we ordered 2 fromages and 2 faisselle.... All very simple you would think. Somehow they though that my 9 year old daughter did not want anything. Once we realised they had forgotten, or got it mixed up or whatever, we politely asked the waiter of the problem. He appeared to be suggesting that we had caused the problem.... Perhaps we did but we attempted to politely resolve it. After the rest of us had finished the course it was clear that they had no intention of serving my daughter. We then asked for the manager, this did nothing, so we went to the counter where we had to laboriously go through what had happened. By this stage any good feelings about the night had completely evaporated. We then sat down again. When the waiter passed again I had to ask whilst gesturing in a frustrated manner... 'où est la faisselle?'. He then said, ' oh, you want the faisselle now?' So all in all the service was a real let down. We don't speak very much French, but we try and we have generally had fantastic experiences in French restaurants *'ed or not. I also found the food to be somewhat unbalanced and lacking imagination. We noticed that the main course was basically meat with the same set of accompanying vegetables - this is not Michelin standard. Perhaps it's not a Michelin rated restaurant. If so, then I'd be a little more forgiving. In the end one of the meals was discounted, but it was too late by then. The restaurant seemed unable to cope with challenges and just caved in with us. A lost evening. I hope they do better with others - they could and should be so much better.

We ordered the prix fixe $39e menu, and we were very happy, for the most part. The garden is beautiful and magical, and the hostess (owner?) charming. We were even talking about eating here again for our second night! The first two courses were absolutely delicious (gravelax with citron reduction, poisson of the day which also turned out to be salmon, and mushroom ravioli), but we didn't get water or bread until well into the first course, and unfortunately the evening completely fell apart at the end, when the dessert course never came. After waiting 25 minutes and realizing they were closing up, I had to ask someone (in my bad French) if the desserts were coming. He looked surprised and asked what we ordered. I said the chocolate one (a pear tartelette with chocolate croustillant praline & mascarpone vanilla). After 5 minutes or so, he brought us something else, and I didn't catch what he said (they spoke very fast), but the last thing was "perdue" which means "lost". So apparently our dessert order got lost. We ate some of the dessert, which was a rich caramel chocolate pot de crème, but it was much too sweet and not what we ordered, so we didn't finish it. Anyway we definitely recommend the food, but maybe don't go at the end of the night on a Sunday, or when they are really busy.
