L'Hospitalier - La Couvertoirade

L'Hospitalier is located in one of the quieter town squares near the southern entrance into the town. Most people probably enter La Couvertoirade through the northern entrance, so it will probably be one of the last places you will see as you make your way around the village.We stopped by for a snack in the middle of the afternoon. Many of the restaurants were closed at the time, but L'Hospitalier was one of the few places open. We sat at one of the outdoor tables in the square along with about a half dozen other tourists who were mostly there for coffee or ice cream.We ordered the charcuterie plate, a cheese plate (see photos) and 2 glasses of wine. Each plate came with a small green salad - simple, but very fresh with a nice dressing. The 3 cheeses (one hard Cantal-like, one Camembert-like and one Roquefort-like) and 3 meats (one saucisson, one jambon and one pate) were all very good and were accompanied by a basket of bread. Our waitress was a high schooler, who provided prompt and courteous service.The total came to under 20 Euros which we found to be very reasonable in such a touristy village. They also serve various pizzas (8 to 9.20 Euros), ice creams and sorbets (1.70 Euros for 1 scoop, 3.30 Euros for 2, 4.50 Euros for 3) and various daily menus that range from 7.50 to 9.90 Euros (see photo). Overall, we found L'Hospitalier to be a pleasant place to dine at a reasonable price.
