"We had taken the first tour of the day at the Grotte de la Deveze (in Courniou) and wanted to have lunch before returning to our village. We were welcomed immediately into the rustic interior of the restaurant. It was 1 pm so several tables were filled already. There were two people working in the kitchen, one who stayed in there, and one who seemed to be doing everything else, including some cooking, but it didn 't affect the rhythm of the meal at all. We had a nice, leisurely, typically French lunch, but never had to wait for too long for anything. (I hate when they rush you, thinking that is what English speaking people want) We opted for the 13.50 Euro menu du jour. My husband had chicken in a tomato sauce, with potatoes, green beans. He seemed happy with it. I had fish with a red pepper sauce, a celery root puree and rice. Each dish also came with one of those ubiquitous halves of tomatoes with herbs. (which was good) There was also meat available. The food was very simple, and not fancy, but that was a good thing. It didn 't seem to be pre fab. But who knows. My dessert was a Creme Catalan with chestnut puree inside which sounds good but was just ok. It was heavy on the gelatin so not the smooth custard that one would expect. If it was fait maison it wasn 't that successful. My husband had sorbet... We had a lovely time and enjoyed ourselves, but probably would have, in any other restaurant in the area, as we having such a nice day in general! But I don 't think you could go wrong eating here and the price was right. I gave them a Very Good because it was better than Average."

We were the first guests on a quiet Monday night so the atmosphere was muted but the food was exceptional and excellent value. Would recommend it to anyone looking for a very French experience.

A traditional French restaurant serving an identical menu for lunch and dinner. Very good value. Freshly cooked. Attentive service. Well-worth a visit if in the area. We had melon / goat cheese salad to start, then 2x steak followed by a selection desserts. Overall very nice. Would certainly visit again.

We have eaten here on several occasions over the last few years and are always made to feel welcome. Their home made pate is excellent, and the main menu changes with the seasons. It is very popular with the locals and has hosted the hunters dinner on occasions. It is run by the owner who is also chef, waiter, and probably chief washer up! As I have said he is very pleasant, attentive and helpful. The food is not high end and neither are the prices it is superb value for money. we will be going back there next time we get over to that area of France. The auberge situated very close to the grotte de la Deveze.

We were touring the Cathar country and happened on this great restaurant by chance. My wife had a filet de Saint Pierre with an celeriac purees sauce and I had local dishes. The chef makes his own bougnettes which is a local pork pate that is fried and served on a salad. It was delicious and I've never had it elsewhere in France in the last 67 years of restaurant dining. His house tripe are superb: very light, lean and silky smooth. We shared a 1/4 Saint Chinian which came from not too far away. Dessert was a creme Catalan with chataignes. Service was friendly. The restaurant is quaint without being a tourist trap. Most of the the clientele were locals. Good value and good food. Whitebeard83
