lA CATHARE - Carcassonne

We went here to recommend a friend who lived locally and had a fantastic meal. it is visited by locals, which is a good sign. we went to lunch. the food was fantastic, and the price was great: €14 for the four course...Set menu. we speak very limited French, but this was not a problem for those who were extremely friendly and helpful; they welcomed us very much. the chef himself came to check that everything was in order with eating.

Excellent small restaurant, great food, good value for money and friendly staff. many local foods here, which is a good sign in the rule. worth visiting, they will not be disappointed.

With it's entrance off the street (up a little lane), this restaurant has a nice ambiance inside. There were two set menus (the cheaper of the two being a reducted version of the same menu) as well as the full menu. Had a bit of...trouble as the waiter didn't speak a word of English, and no English menus some of us were intrigued by the cooking fire within the dining area, but unfortunately couldn't understand properly whether it was available or not that night. In the end we all decided on the cheaper set menu. Despite being only the second table, one of the entrees wasn't available. We all ordered the duck main course, and very glad we did! After a bit of an average entree, the duck was flavoursome cooked perfectly. Then dessert waiter asked if we would like to order any, although we had asked for the 3 course menu at the start. Brought back our menus, the options for dessert are icecream or the patisserie de jour. All wanted the pastry, but were told that they were sold out. Very disappointing that both entrees desserts were limited, and this wasn't told to us at the start. Also saw the cooking fire used for customers later after all. Loved the red wine we had though named after the restaurant/area, it was the best we had during our holiday!
