WOW. This place is JUST AMAZING!!!! I am so glad I looked this place up on Yelp! I was in Europe…read more(Portugal, Spain, and France) for 2 weeks and this location was in the TOP 3 of all the meals I had for the duration of my stay. My family (party of 7) came for lunch and we had the course meal. We sat outside and surrounded by so much of the Carcassone architecture. Wonderful backdrops for pictures. We were worried when we walked in because there was no one else there... but that's probably because we came before they started serving lunch... My goodness, everything we ate was so delicious! Like most places in Europe, the course meals take a little while and are not quick...so make sure you have time. The quality, service, price, and presentation were just amazing. We were all WOWed! I spoke little French, which helped... but then we ended up having a waiter who spoke English. Definitely made the experience much more memorable. If you are in Carcassone, stop here for a meal!! You will not be disappointed!

Very fast service at lunch. Apparently the summer tourists had departed. Food was much better than…read morerenaissance festival. Carcassonne is where the festival wishes it was.

Dinner: chicken over roasted buckwheat and pumpkin purée, scallops over corn, veal cheeks. It was all good but the chicken was incredibly fork tender delicious. The veal cheeks were roast tender. 2 bottles of $39 and $49 wines recommended by our waiter. All very good! I'm thinking there's no bad wine here in France.

Yes, it's completely and 100% touristy. It's situated in…read morethe cite part of Carcassonne, which means that everything in here is a tourist death trap, but sometimes, desperate times calls for desperate measures; and in a sea of restaurants, I had to choose the lesser of all the evils - I went with the cheapest meal I could find. Of course, since it's so close to Christmas time, expect all small towns to shut down for a couple of weeks. And, of course, being as ill prepared as I am, I failed to get that particular memo......so, what should have been a charming little town situated in medieval castle walls is actually a creepy silent town with lots of christmas lights and no people. The restaurant isn't too bad - just not the best. They offer a range of prix fixe meals, from about 15 euros to 24euros for 3 courses. After starving for the whole day, i opted for the cassoulet for my main course, and even though it didn't wow me, it sort of got the job done. 1. i was stuffed afterwards, 2. It was hearty and warm - perfect for a cold cold night. Just know what you're getting into when you dine here - the service was pretty good and the lovely french waitress even managed a smile and chatted me up in french. too bad je ne parle pas francais!

We ate here our first night in Carcassonne, and it was a reasonable place to start our visit. The…read morestaff had a range of ability in English (more than a match for our limited French) but were perfectly friendly and worked with us to sort out a meal. The space is open and airy. There were a range of prix fixe menus and a la carte options, naturally including Carcassonne's signature dish: cassoulet. We all ended up with variations on the same prix fixe. The food was good, though certainly not mind-blowing. I started with a very nice salad served with duck gizzard and followed this up with a (rather tough) beef cheek. My wife started with a more modestly-sized plate of goat cheese on toast, followed by a prodigious bowl of somewhat bland cassoulet. Deserts and coffees were very nice affairs (even the worst French restaurants seem to know how to do coffee). All-in-all, a very decent experience. We wouldn't go running back, but neither do we regret the choice.
