Patisserie Confiserie Moulin

Like this trip we posed it low-cost, our food in laces sur ciel was based on a home picnic we did next to the car... but we did want to have coffee in some cafeteria. Clearing the lower part of the old town, on the shore to the main road, we find this pastry...It was impossible to decide between so many and so many cakes with such good paint! I get the water mouth with just reminding them. One of the reliance spoke a little bit of English, so we could ask a little something. We delight in an almond cake and another chocolate cake.

Maison Moulin was once a centrepiece of both the Cordes gastronomic scene and the wider area around. Monsieur and Madame Moulin ran the place superbly well and oversaw the production of a wide range of viennoiseries, bread, cakes, ice creams, chocolates etc of the highest standard and quality. Sadly, this is no longer the case. M. Moulin retired nearly two years ago and the transfer of ownership means that this is not a place I would recommend. The standard and quality have fallen and the prices have risen. Not a good combination. The service (both at tables and the counter) remains good but it must be sad for those who are long-serving members of staff to see the decline. I hate to write a negative review but this place is just not what it was.

Small patisserie-cafe right int eh centre of Cordes. Perhaps nothing special to the French to buy excellent fresh bread and dainty, refined pieces of patisserie every single day, but being tired of hefty German yeasty cakes and deprived after years of flavourless English cakes this place is cake heaven. Why aren't people raving about this one? We had bread (crusty baguette that actually tastes good), sandwiches (freshly made from baguette) , dainty cakes (heavenly) and a whole lemon tart (unspeakably good), and I feel sorry for myself for not living closer to this amazing place. Only the coffee is pretty average, but then, I have never had exceptional coffee in France. And its always open! It was the last place where I bought bread in the old year, and it was already open in the moorning of New Years Day. I hope to return there many times.

I've eaten here this afternoon, on a day trip from toulouse. both the customer service and the Jambon-Beurre sandwich were stellar. I even returned there for a pâtisserie after I walk to the top of the village and back! highly recommended.

I had a coffee cute here. it was absolutely very good value for money. I would recommend to the tourists to visit cordes.
