I am so glad to be the first person to write a review for probably one of the best restaurants I…read morewill ever be lucky enough to visit in my life.
N.B. this is the first 5* review I have ever done and I can't think when the next will be.
I have visited this place on many a special occasion. I have only taken people here who I truly would consider worthy of this amazing place. A friend and I purely found this by chance, a day we have spoken about on so many occasions. When I say it is in the middle of nowhere..... Well check out Google maps! I would crawl here, no matter were I was in the world to dine here.
The views of the mountains are to die for, a clear view for 80 miles over the Haute-Garonne region. Truly amazing, but the best is yet to come. To think that this is based in a tiny place, maybe five buildings, approx. 20 people inc. its own sleepy village dog just makes the fairytale even more beautiful. Thats not the restaurant, thats the whole village!
The seating area outside is amazing, beautiful flowers, Batman in a birdcage (I kid you not), floating lights in vases, their own herb garden, all with some amazing music for atmosphere. I'm not doing this place justice, it is so cool, you just feel a part of something special when you experience this place.
The food is traditional Sud-Quest and always seasonal, so the menu will always change. Everything and I mean everything is the best I have tried. For example, the citron preserve in the wild grain rice is so good, I'm currently in the second month of a three month process just to remind myself of this place. I'm that crazy about this place that I'm talking about a citron preserve in their rice, with not even a mention of anything else! So I'll stop there because no words I will use will do this place justice.
Please, please, please visit!
I once asked the chef / owner why hadn't he got Michelin stars, he said he didn't need them. I rest my case and I've eaten in 3* Michelin restaurants.
