What Travellers Say
Reviews Summary
Diners frequently praise the restaurant's delicious traditional French cuisine, with cassoulet and duck confit being standout dishes. The charming garden terrace and cozy winter ambiance are also highlighted as enjoyable aspects. While service is generally friendly, some guests noted it could be more interactive, and a few found the food to be average.
"Wanted to try this Carcassone traditional dish and I must say it was a pleasant surprise and felt lovely on a quite windy evening! The price is a bit high if you consider it as a bowl of beans with a bit of meat, but it serves as an experience in the end :)"

"The food was very average. You’re restricted by location and they don’t have to try too hard to get a steady flow of people in. If you can’t find anywhere else then it’s perfectly fine but I wouldn’t return or rave about that it."

"The wait staff could have been a little more interactive BUT we did have a large party so I think they were focused on getting the food out. Great atmosphere for our outside dinning and the food was almost a 5 star. The appetizer was a goat cheese egg roll which was hit or miss with our group (I really enjoyed it). Next we had the duck on a bed of sliced potatoes and it was VERY good. For dessert was pavlova aux fruit which was basically whipped cream, sugar glazed strawberries, and some crunchy white chocolate like thing underneath. We would eat here again."
