Bar a Cassoulet - Carcassonne

This is situated right in the heart of the castle however when we visited whilst busy, the service was friendly and welcoming. Drinks arrived promptly, food orders taken quickly. The problem is that the burger I ordered didnt have any actual burger in it...(so much so I thought I had ordered the wrong thing . I ended up with slices of bacon, goats cheese, and a lot of grilled aubergine and tomato, but no actual patty!! This, it appears, is how it comes.... To be fair it was very tasty, just not what I expected (or wanted . However I would come here again (much closer scrutiny of the menu required!

I ordered the gamba's and was left disappointed. Twenty euros for 7 gambas, plain white rice and a slice of tomato. Left hungry...

Carcassone is (I was told), the second most visited site in France and you can see why! It's a fairytale looking castle perched on top of a hill with stunning views and plenty to see and do. This restaurant is right in the centre where there is a small square restaurants. We ate at 7.30 pm and the whole place was still buzzing with people just a few less young children.... We had a mixture of mains from the giant prawns (great but always a little messy), the salads were excellent and the burgers were all good, to the local speciality (name escapes me) but a mixture of sausage, beans and a piece of chicken in a thick stew sauce - this was excellent and we all wished we'd had it! The desserts were all good, the coffee excellent, oh and the cocktails (alcoholic and the non variety) , were all well presented and went down well. The house Rose is also worth a mention. Service was good to.

Great place to enjoy a romantic view of the castle with delicious food and drinks. Excellent service with a very friendly atmosphere. We had an excellent evening.

We all enjoyed a lovely meal here for a friends birthday, a good selection of wines & beers were on hand, the young blonde waitress was one of the friendliest we met in carcassone & the jazz band playing g opposite completed the fantastic atmosphere
