Restaurant Bernard Rigaudis

To celebrate my 60th birthday, my man and I went to lunch on a wonderful september day. actually it was 30 degrees in the shade of the terrace. we chose the 50 Euro market menu that includes its signature cocktail to be followed by three set courses and wee pairings. the starter of the Fois-Gras was super, guinea fowl main delicious and the coward dessert with chocolate mouthwater. a wonderful environment on the terrace. the cocktail at the beginning was delightful and the accompanying wee were of high quality, especially that white. the maitre d was very charming and was very well looked after. his English was excellent. it is unusual in a Michelin star restaurant to weep in the price included. the trade with that is that they do not get the amuse bouches during the meal, but the portion sizes are plentiful. a place where we can definitely go back.

As French as french can be... beautiful gardens, rooms are very nice, but some paint here and there.... classical french dinner, for France the wines are on the expensive side. One downer: the price of breakfast. After a copious dinner, a light breakfast would be...nice, but who wants to pay 25 € for a bowl of fruit and some tea?

Oh, my God, what a tasty bite! we were in a nearby airbnb and one of the reviews for the accommodation mentioned how well this Michelin star restaurant was. we have booked short notice and after looking at the menus on the line we decided to ask before. go to menu “Homard Bleu” with their wine selection. we were already in many beautiful restaurants, but this was the first Michelin star restaurant for our vater. we wouldn't have asked for something better. on a beautiful sunny evening we were picked into the gardens, with well-maintained grass, ripe trees, flower beds and a swimming pool to be met by the maitre d. he could have been pompous, but was nice, our French is poor, his English, somewhat better and he was professional, obviously very intelligent and had a great feeling of humor. we sat on a garden table for a while enjoying all the experience and served delicious aperitifs along with some delicious appetits, a precursor of what was to come. once on our table, on the open terrace, we were treated with an extraordinary, culinary joy from the chef of cuisine, an extraordinary service from the waiting staff and an amazing, magical performance of the sommelier who knew instinktiw, which wein, from the many hundreds that are offered would interact perfectly with each cure. we could imagine that this gandalf has danced like master over his tasting table in the cellar, spends months, not perfecting his mystical art for years. fantastic! they should have seen our fathers face, from beginning to end, the ray of joy that was spread from ohr to ohr for his cheerful joy. we can only recommend that if they ever find themselves within 50 miles of carcassonne, first that they come to see the wonderful city of burg, because it is really a wonder to see and second come and experience the magical culinary magic that is being worked in this fantastic restaurant.

We ended our Michelin starred tour this summer with a dinner at Domaine d 'Auriac. The cuisine is good, but truly overpriced. No creativity in the kitchen and we were disappointed by the simplicity of the menu. Wine flights are good, but the sommelier was not...very into it (or maybe we didn 't look like their usual clientele and they were not paying attention to us, which is worst). It is a miss as the property is beautiful.

Un accueil chaleureux,un service parfait,personnel a l'écoute, et des mets des plus raffinés. Cadre très agréable.Cette table est à recommander vivement!
