Le Brassens - Menu

Not a vegetarian restaurant but when I emailed they offered starters without meat and omelette. Absolutely delicious, very fresh with a quirky variety of flavours which worked. So good we're coming back again tomorrow - well worth a visit.

Michelle, the owner and chief of Le Brassens is the real deal from start to finish.You come in for having a real home cooked dish, not a pre-made dish barely out of its plastic bag that will get heated in a microwave.So don't get to picky about the simplify of the place, enter in for what does really matter: the inimitable taste of real food fresh made from the fourneau.Bravo Michelle. Such a pleasure meeting you.

Michelle opened her restaurant about 3 years ago after retrurning to her region from the middle east. She does all the cooking, using local ingredients (except in a few well noted cases, and produces delicious French country fare. We had "poulet fermiere", duck and steak, and all were excellent. The restaurant is well located, a few steps from the old bridge to the castle and the gate to old town Bastide. This is the kind of place the foreign visitor hopes to find when coming to southern France!

"Le Brassens" is owned and run by Michelle whom is also the chief of the place and you'll know soon enough that she's the real deal from start to finish.You come in for having a real home cooked dish, not a pre-made meal barely out of its plastic bag that will get heated in a microwave.So don't get to picky about the apparant simplify of the place, enter in for what does really matter: the inimitable taste of real food freshly made from a skilled chief's fourneau.Bravo Michelle.Such a pleasure meeting you.

Tucked away in a quiet street in Carcassonne’s bastide is this unassuming gem. Named after one of my favourite singers [but without any of his music] this is a delightful, home cooked, classic French restaurant. Set menu with some of the tastiest food imaginable. Starters followed...by main courses chicken or asian beef our night and exceptional dessert. Charming front of house service that simply exuded a welcome including our son and dog and the presene of the chef herself. Wonderful, memorable food in a night to remember. Thank you!

there was an immediately warm, family-like feeling when we came to dinner - 10 minutes before the opening time, the restaurant was dark inside. only then came the owner/cook to open the door, and immediately they knew that we were the couple who had called to make a reservation. the lights went on, we were invited, and we went on to have a wonderful meal. all that the cook does is fresh, you guys were a charming host, and the waitress was great. a bottle of corbieres made every bite, and we have learned a lot about local cuisine, cheese and wine. plan to come back a few more times before they return to new york.

If you are looking for an authentic, excellent, restaurant where you are treated like a friend (a little French probably helps, but the owner/cook speaks English), this is the place! We happened on it near closing time at about 9 PM. We were served by the delightful owner who fussed over us and made us feel most welcome. We had the stuffed zucchini, a cheese plate (seemed right out of a movie) and salad. All excellent and prepared/cooked to perfection. We are from Rome and live in Paris and the San Francisco Bay Area, so have been around the block as far as good food is concerned, Sure everyone would be pleased!

We had a lovely dinner at le Brassens, we had viewed the restaurant on tripadvisor however as the menu changes we had no idea what to expect. It is down a quiet side street (open on a Sunday! and there were 3 options for each...course. The chef Michelle is very accommodating as we had a vegetarian in the group one of the starters was suitable but a main course was created and it was delightful. All the food was lovely and homemade, no frozen gimmicks when it is gone,it’s gone. The three courses are very reasonable at €20 however you can get one or two the wine and beer is also very reasonable. It was very busy so we had to wait at times but it was not a concern as we could see they were busy...

We were visiting Carcassonne for three nights, arriving on a Sunday evening. Knowing that there would be few restaurants open at that time we did a search on Trip Advisor for good restaurants. We sent emails to four restaurants that caught our eye and had replies from two. As I have a food allergy we were quite concerned that it would be difficult to find a good restaurant. How wrong we were! The lovely chef proprietor, Michele, emailed us back very quickly and said that she was unable to send us her menu as she shops each morning for the fresh meat etc and then makes her menu based on what she has bought. She said that it wouldn't be a problem to cook for us as everything is prepared freshl...
