La Rotisserie Medievale

We had a family group with children of 9 from the world, usa and Australia loved the amuse smell, but not for all. everyone loved the bun and children enjoyed the quiche. whisper could be much hotter, but otherwise what an experience. they have. about the birthday boy service was fantastic, would have done with a traditional live dance and music that would add the taste of the place. well done to the whole team and thierry!

We have eaten many times in the redisserie over the years. we loved everything about it, including the fact that it was very much not disney esque. the original restaurant was 15 years until 2012, from a chef who was quite serious about the...authenticity of eating as it cooked and served and eaten. unfortunately he had to give up for health reasons. the original plan was that all recipes from the 13th and 14th centuries were and served nothing that did not exist at that time (obvily, not literally.) he used local fresh products, beautiful salate and honey and amazing cheese. and they did not serve coffee that had not yet been discovered. I'm sure people didn't have coffee after their meal, but it was worth it. they now have nespresso, which is least better than the usual French coffee. of what I read, the city decided that the restaurant, as it is part of the restored castle, was such a good attraction that they wanted to continue it. they were looking for a new chef in whole france. we ate here last year (2014 and there were some more changes. it seems that they cut corners and the service is perfunctory. but not unfriendly. something I was missing that I gave them 4 stars because it is still a funny thing to eat in the castle, and eating is not bad. but I have to say that it is a bit disappointing and I miss the old days. the restaurant room is very pleasant a beautiful atmosphere (I think it was the original escaping area for the lock and I love the drapery hanging at the kitchen end of the room. the amuse bouche is a lot of tidbits: olive, artichoke hearts, some tapenade, rust, nuts etc. They serve each one a glass (pottery cup delicious seasoned wee as aperitif. also a carafe water and a wine. in the past they asked what color wee but no longer. Maybe it was just us. the long wooden tables are with fabric napkins, a wood spoon and a knife (me man says he brings his own fork next time! you can eat with a hand, depending on what is served. a new note they now have a small fountain with hand towels to rinse off their hands. they get a round bread to eat instead of a plate. in the old days as soon as it was used and full of meat juice, they threw it to the dogs or distributed to the poor. we started with a piece of tour. (pee my mann 's was meat (with giblets and my was mushroom and sweet, that was very good. they serve a little salate on the side, but it was disappointing eisberg! I chose the fish menu this visit. (what they didn't have in the last year) it was served on a piece slanted instead of digging. it was good. the sauce with rusty was good. 13 I exchanged with my man who had the two roasted vigilantes who were good. served with beet in a cumin sauce and some very good brewed mushrooms. be more the typical menu meat served with vegetables (in the regular root.) they have three menus at 35 euro and one at 42 euro that includes cheese. plus a children's menu, 16 euro, and some a la carte dinge, breaks of bark etc. that dessert my mannes was a blanc manger with a red fertilkoulis and a few mandelbreads. mine was dessert of the day that was good, although I don't know what it was. a piece of custard cake with fresh fig, and a bowl of custard, the much delicious as Italian cheesecake, with walnuts. they give them a glass (differently seasoned claret to finish the meal. the lunch was not as satisfying as in the past, but still a nice experience, especially when you visit the castle, which is very interesting and perhaps with children who are old enough to appreciate the thema cathars. the city and surroundings are very picturesque.

The restaurant is really nice and people are kind and welcoming. The price of the menu is between 35 and 45 euro and once you've finished you feel really full! You can choose your mediaeval dress and take some funny pictures with your friends. It's...just little bit weird eating without forks!

This is great fun, the food is delicious and we all got to dress up which our children particularly enjoyed. The staff are really kind to children. There is some very nice attention to detail and it does feel like you have just experienced a...proper bit of medieval dining. They even packed our leftovers for us to take away!

We visited Villerouge Termes on a road trip as we had read it was the home of the last of the Cathar’s and it seemed a welcome change from climbing hills to see deserted chateaus. The village didn't disappoint and is well worth a visit but...the Medieval Rotisserie was amazing. We had appetisers, large bowls of coarse pate to start, a bread plate with a whole chicken and various veg and accompaniments and finally a collection of puddings. All the time we were kept topped up with chilled red and white wines as well as other spirits and a drink similar to mead all well worth the money. Service, even with our weak French, was excellent.
