A lovely restaurant in a beautiful old building with a delightful interior design. The location is…read moreeasily accessible in the Ville Basse (the main part of town), just a few blocks from the pedestrian Rue Georges Clemenceau and the central Place Carnot. We had the lunch plates (pay by the size of the plate, and they fill it out generously). The price was comparable to many pay-by-weight veggie buffets in European cities, and probably a bit cheaper than them. Every single thing we had was delicious, and a lot of the options were very healthy too. The staff were acutely conscious of vegan/vegetarian differences, and I believe several items were vegan. This is virtually impossible to find in most restaurants in this region. They serve non-veg food (which slightly reduces options for us veg types), but they say it's due to lack of choice: it's hard to survive as a pure veg place in Carcassonne. So, if you're veg, cut them some slack, and give them your business. Most food options in Carcassonne are so unappealing and generic that, vegetarianism aside, this may well be one of the very best restaurants in town. The staff are supremely friendly, and one of them speaks excellent English, for those for whom that sort of thing is an issue. As of this writing (July 2013), they did lunch and dinner every day (including Sunday? not sure) with the sole exception of dinner on Monday.

We also had a wonderful red wine from a local organic vineyard - I don't remember the name but the owner mentioned that it's from his brother's vineyard farm. The owners are a husband and wife team and they both spoke great English. They are super friendly and were very nice to have a small chit-chat with. This is truly a gem in Carcassonne and well worth the visit - a must for both vegetarians and non-vegetarians alike.

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.

Even though we were the only ones in the place, all the dishes were fresh and hot, perfectly prepared. All dishes we ordered were winners, and none of my family had ever eaten Pakistani food, nor was this type of food on their menu. But it was Father's Day, my choice. Oh, the price. $$? Really? Although accurate, the meal was something I would have expected to pay much more for. Then you leave and step outside. That's when you realize that their overhead has got to be very low. But walk like you "own the place" and all is good, and you're full. Don't hesitate to order a couple extra naan breads. Don't ask me why. You'll know after the first bite.
