Le Baron D'ar - Menu

Une guinguette charmante entre deux écluses. Cassoulet excellent, le meilleur jamais mangé. Première halte réussie sur le canal du midi et à un prix très raisonnable.

quel endroit charmant, quel délicieux moment! Très chouette étape après une balade à vélo le long du canal du midi. Produits frais, homard grillé et seiches à la plancha au top!

We found the restaurant whilst walking the dogs along the canal, a short stroll from Homps. It was October so the restaurant was not busy, though the locals table at the back gave the room a cheerful hum to match the warmth of the wood...More

Dinner in the garden beside the Canal du Midi by the Ognon lock. Small but varied menu with good choice of vegetarian starters that can be served as a main courses. The Entrecôte and skin on chips were delicious. Highly recommend the chocolate gaufre (waffle) for dessert. Prices are good. Be aware that due to the countryside location, there are flies, but they don't bite.

A lovely spot away from traffic and when the lock is open, plenty to laugh at. The food is unpretentious, but prepared with a real flair for the use of ingredients. The olive oil for example is in a huge pot, and suffused with fresh herbs. The restaurant is not easy to find but well worth searching for. Very welcoming atmoshere; . In the early spring a lovely fire indoors made an intimate atmosphere and at this time of year it is very pretty outside. Dogs are made welcome.

Cruising on the canal du midi we came across this restaurant as we went through the locks at Ognon - and a quick drink turned into an excellent decision to stay for lunch. The menu for 15€ was superb, a mixed salad for the girls, crisp and fresh and a tasty pate de compagne for the men was followed by pork fillet casserole with olives - it was a boiling hot day but under the shade of the plane trees it was a great choice. The ice creams that followed were also superb. Le patron was welcoming and charming and I do hope many travelling the canal will stop and try this gem of a restaurant.

We were recommended this restaurant when going through the lock adjacent to it by a fellow boating person we met in the lock . On our return journey we decided to make a point of stopping for supper . We were not disappointed!! Food was excellent, really good food cooked very well . I had fish soup and the special which was my favourite... Lobster ! Simply cooked and wonderful. My husband had duck which also was beautiful. Followed by waffles , cheese and caramel ice cream . Local wine was good and very reasonable. Can highly recommend, lots of locals eating do that usually says it all !

Au bord du canal, dans un cadre champêtre, nous avons été accueillis par le patron très sympa qui nous a expliqué sa carte : Ce soir là la maison proposait des homards bleus énormes pour 29 euros pièce, incroyable!!! Nous avons opté pour des menus à 24 et 28 euros, avec entrée, plat, fromage et dessert. Les portions sont énormes et les produits de qualité . Le loup grillé délicieux, la salade cesar extra, la morue à l'aïoli délicieuse! Pour le dessert, des glaces, des fondants, des gaufres garnies, toujours avec générosité . Merci pour ce bon moment gustatif, mention spéciale pour l'accueil enjoué du patron.

We stopped with our boat near the Ognon lock and we thought let's have dinner. So we went to the Le Baron d'Ar and we didn't expect this superb food, and lots of it. The menu is not big but they have like most French restaurants a set menu to choose from. We had foie gras filled by a whole duck breast with homemade fries. A fromage plater and dessert. Omg, the food was absolutely amazing, huge portions and we had to take the duck breast back to our boat, accompanied by a little pot of aioli, was a nice lunch snack the next day. We have to mention that this little restaurant next to the canal was only run by two people, chef and waiter. Little time of waiting but with these portions absolutel...
