Bar a Cassoulet - Carcassonne

Carcassone is (I was told), the second most visited site in France and you can see why! It's a fairytale looking castle perched on top of a hill with stunning views and plenty to see and do. This restaurant is right in the centre where there is a small square restaurants. We ate at 7.30 pm and the whole place was still buzzing with people just a few less young children.... We had a mixture of mains from the giant prawns (great but always a little messy), the salads were excellent and the burgers were all good, to the local speciality (name escapes me) but a mixture of sausage, beans and a piece of chicken in a thick stew sauce - this was excellent and we all wished we'd had it! The desserts were all good, the coffee excellent, oh and the cocktails (alcoholic and the non variety) , were all well presented and went down well. The house Rose is also worth a mention. Service was good to.

Great place to enjoy a romantic view of the castle with delicious food and drinks. Excellent service with a very friendly atmosphere. We had an excellent evening.

We all enjoyed a lovely meal here for a friends birthday, a good selection of wines & beers were on hand, the young blonde waitress was one of the friendliest we met in carcassone & the jazz band playing g opposite completed the fantastic atmosphere

Even though it was my first time in La Cité, it felt like I had been there before. It was a quiet night and we were lucky to have a special explanation of the origin of the dishes we ordered. The staff speaks fluent French of course, but also a some English and Spanish. As main dish I asked for a Fois Gras Burger and my partner had a Cassoulet. For dessert we both shared a giant Chocolate Macaron! What's more French than a delicious Macaron!? Just picture a huge brownie but instead of the classic brownie you all know, this one had an unique French touch. I'm a wine lover, but to my surprise they had something I had never tried before... A glass of Blue Wine! It's definitely a must, just the experience of drinking it is something I couldn't miss! A bit windy at the terrace, but it was just an unlucky night for a terrace dinner so if you go on a windy night just go inside; you'll love the cozy vibe... Other than that, the place, the food and the service were excellent. We will definitely come back and would recommend it.

Cassloulet is a marvelous creation if it is well prepared! It is also a "gastronomic specialty" of the Region! However if one does not care for a "bean themed" stew then perhaps it would be best to go elsewhere. But dedicated travelers usually look forward to trying out regional specialties/delicacies...I happen to love a great Cassoulet and am glad I dined here!!!
