Service was impressive from the start with six staff waiting to pull out chairs to seat you but then no-one placed napkins on our laps! Wine list was impressive and varied from reasonable to pricey so you have good choice. We selected wines of the region, which were excellent. Food was well presented but for some of our friends was... More

Amazing food served with gusto in a dramatic dining room. Choice limited as with all fine dining, and this is fine dining. The 3 courses were each faultless, although it was difficult to follow the amuse bouche which had my wife dancing with pleasure. We also opted for the wine and water option , which was amazing value as they... More

We quite enjoyed our food here, but the restaurant needs more attention to its waiting staff and their training. I had the spring vegetables as a starter and this was a superb dish beautifully handled; for the main, the beef dish - a curious but delicious combination of fillet and beef checks (one of the restaurants specialities). Friends had the... More

We ate here while staying at the hotel , and had a lovely evening ! Service is very good, staff are knowledgeable and give good advice on wine . The food was lovely - I had just 2 courses - sea bass and the just wonderful warm pear souffle - but there were 2 or 3 amuse bouches as well... More

Obviously this is a high-class and expensive hotel restaurant. Don't go here if the spectacle is not, for you, a valuable part of the experience. You do pay for the spectacle as well as the food. Firstly do not forget the pianist. On the night of our visit he was excellent and i hope he gets a living wage, looking... More

My wife and I stayed for three nights at La Cite and ate at La Barbacane on the first night. On reflection we really should have eaten here at least one more it was that good. Very fine food, as you would expect of Michelin starred restaurant. Service was excellent. I see other people have not had such great service... More

We spent two nights at Hotel de la Cité and decided to try out their fancy restaurant one of the nights. The atmosphere is in keeping with the chateau hotel overall and is very nice. Service is very good, with attentive staff fluttering around constantly. Our food and regional wine (on recommendation) were both very, very good. Arguably the best... More

Dinner: Three amuse bouche spoons – fish, cheese and vegetarian. We were each allocated a roll. The roll was not exciting (a grave flaw – I take my bread evaluation seriously – it’s the Irish thing). Butter would follow approximately 25 minutes later. Next course: a steamed fresh seasonal vegetable appetizer, distinguished by each vegetable’s having been individually steamed to... More

This Michelin starred restaurant is situated inside Hotel La Cite in Carcassonne. We had booked the restaurant for a birthday meal and were looking forward to it immensely. Unfortunately it was raining cats & dogs on the night and it was only then that we found out that taxis are not allowed into La Cite. Cars are allowed in if... More
