TheForkUserThe setting is superb, as is the food which was both generous and of a high quality. Staff very friendly and helpful. A thoroughly enjoyable evening.
TheForkUserWonderful food (exceeded our expectations!), perfect setting. Would love to come back next time we are in Carcassonne.
TheForkUserWe had the "tentations" menu ( the priciest one). It was worth the price, especially the re-constructed flavours and the wine pairings. If like attention to subtle culinary detail, you'll love this experience. It really made my birthday memorable.
TheForkUserApart from the problem of finding a taxi from the centre of Carcassonne to get to the place everything there after was more than we’d hoped for. On arrival we were met by a warm and friendly lady got the evening going by guiding us down to the restaurant and the waiting staff who led us through the evening with great skill but friendliness as well. The food and drink were so far beyond what I was expecting that I’m not sure how we can go any better. 10/10 doesn’t do the place justice
TheForkUserWe saw this place and booked before we arrived in Carcassonne. The food was all home cooked to perfection. The waitress was helpful and friendly and atmosphere wonderful. I had steak and my husband pork. The food was simple, very reasonably priced and ice cream pudding delicious.We would highly recommend La Taverne Modern.
TheForkUserGreat food if somewhat confusing service. We think they did not put our order through as the tables around us, who ordered after us, were served well before us! However, once we were served it was all delicious and worth the wait. The cassoulet was very good indeed as was the bouquet of vegetables entrée with tapenade. Alas, we had no room for a dessert which looked very tempting on adjacent tables, especially the Valrhona chocolate finger. An apology for the very delayed service would have been nice but we didn’t complain as the waiter and waitress were very pleasant.
TheForkUserWell presented excellent food. Valerie is always smiling, even though she is running the place single handed.
_TI***16The ambiance of the restaurant is lovely and cozy, making it a perfect spot for a casual meal or a special occasion. I can't wait to return!
TheForkUserWe ate 3 times at this restaurant while staying at the Chateau de Palaja beside it. Fabulous food and lovely ambience on each occasion.
TheForkUserWe were a group of 9 people with 5 children and they’ve organized a beautiful table with some privacy that helped a lot not being stressed with bothering anyone else. Great food, beautiful atmosphere, small little touches that made it an exquisite experience.
TheForkUserGreat experience! We will return!
TheForkUserWonderfully charming restaurant with delicious food! My husband and I live in nearby Villeseque and had a friend visiting with craving for Italian. Le Refuge did not disappoint! The decor of the restaurant is beautiful, the proprietor was charming and patient with our fledgling French, and the food - oh the food! It was delicious! Make sure to try the house made limoncello. It is potent and outstanding. My cannelloni was tender, flavorful, with a delicate tomato sauce that did not overpower the dish. My friend’s seafood risotto was creamy with the perfect amount of mussels and my husband’s fagottinis au ragu was perfection. Our only regret was not getting crostinis to start but the proprietor set down some bread with olive tapenade to go with our Prosecco aperitifs. Overall, this restaurant is a gem in the tucked away town of Portel des Corbières and we will be back!
TheForkUserFirst visit after recommendation from friends Whole evening was lovely from the food to the service. Looking forward to making it a regular visit.
TheForkUserIt was our first time in Carcassone because we were traveling around France. It's awsome: the place is quiet, the waiter told us about the ingredients because we are spanish and the food was incredible. If I return to Carcassone I will go there again for sure!
_TI***fuFresh dishes prepared on-site by a dedicated chef ensure quality and attention to detail. While the menu is limited, the daily specials keep things interesting, and the friendly welcome adds to the overall experience.
_TI***qqI had a wonderful experience at this restaurant! The vegan options are impressive, especially the vegan cassoulet, which was absolutely delicious. The atmosphere is pleasant and welcoming.
_TI***fqWhat a fabulous surprise! Each dish was meticulously presented and bursting with flavor, complemented by exceptional service from the wait staff.
_TI***ntChez Christine offers a remarkable dining experience with a menu that showcases both traditional and modern cuisine. Every course we tried was delicious, making it a must-visit for food lovers.
TheForkUserGreat food and service. Cassoulet was sensational - restaurant had a fantastic welcoming. Would definitely come again.
TheForkUserWe attended this restaurant as it was advertised as serving BBQ steak and pulled pork served neither that evening. My son ordered steak what he received was hamburger pattie meat for €20. Booked table for 7pm then told kitchen not open till 7.30pm our orders not taken till 8pm served at 8.30pm will not return. Waitress was great Thank You
TheForkUserWe highly recommend this restaurant and it's menu to suit vegan and vegetarian dishes and the normal meat/fish offerings.
TheForkUserThe proprietor was very welcoming, professional and had a great sense of humor. He was very helpful in answering our questions about the cuisine. The portions of food are quite generous and very delicious. We highly recommend this restaurant.
TheForkUserWhat a fabulous little restaurant - we were served by the owner, who very obviously is passionate about the food he serves and where it is sourced - he was so friendly and chatty, and loved what he was doing. It’s all local produce, which is prepared by his Armenian chef, which brings a very tasty twist to the dishes. The beef, pork, cheeses, red wine (organic and local), the Cremant de Limoux, the service, the atmosphere - everything, we would recommend. A chance find and so pleased that we went! I’d definitely go again if we’re staying longer, but sadly we leave Carcassonne today.
