What to eat
Traditional southern cooking with a Mediterranean touch and a tapas bar. The dish you come here for is the cassoulet, the bean casserole with duck confit and sausage. The menu continues with starters such as the charcuterie board, bone marrow or the aubergine and tomato tatin, big salads such as the Caesar or the Charpentière, and tapas: marinated anchovies, bread with tomato, local ham or dried duck breast crostini. There is a €21 formula, a €24 menu and a children's menu at €12.
The house
It is on Place Saint-Jean, in the northern part of the Cité, with a view of the Château Comtal, set back from the main street and quieter than the restaurants on Place Marcou. It has a terrace of around 80 seats in summer and 40 in winter.
Getting there
Enter the Cité by the Porte Narbonnaise, from car parks P1 and P2, and head towards the castle: Place Saint-Jean is behind it, next to the north rampart. It is about ten minutes on foot.
What to order: The cassoulet, if you come for a meal; for a snack, the tapas on the terrace.
