I think it's a good sign when a place is packed with locals and the day we stopped by Le Jue de…read morel'Oie it was full (which I hear is the usual case at lunch) with the only English being spoken in the place being at our table. Prices are very reasonable: the Formule (main and dessert or appetizer and main with wine or coffee) only 10€; fixed Menu at 18 & 23€. One of our party tried the 18€ menu starting out with the Ariege Salad (a meal in itself with aged ham, duck breast, foie gras, fresh walnuts, carrots, tomato, daikon, at least 3 kinds of greens in a light oil and balsamic dressing) and salmon, cooked to perfection with a crazy chorizo concoction on top giving it extra zip. My main was cannelloni done in the style lasagna would be done at home, but with buckets more flavour - it's amazing what happens when you use fresh tomatoes, spinach and cheese made locally. Oh ya, we had dessert too, but my head pretty much exploded with surprise and delight after the cannelloni. I heard it was spectacular, too. Great food at a great price. The only problem we had was figuring out how to open the door (push IN, firmly).

The suggestions were spot on! Cassoulet was amazing and the Faux Filet, aka Top Sirloin, was perfectly cooked. The owners are really good about taking time to talk to you.. It turns out that they used to operate restaurants in Paris and their quality and service is great. It appeared that many of the diners were locals. Although we were in Foix multiple days and ate at a number of places, we probably came here the most!

Lost in the middle of nowhere lays a village of maybe a hundred people... and a very devoted…read morefamily, running this place. Like in old novels, behind a door on a cobbled street, is a hotel and a tavern for any lost soul that happened to be here. In fact, it seems the place is very popular - during our short 20 minute conversation with Anne, who I assumed was the owner, she answered two phone calls asking for reservations months in advance. I take it we were here in a low season and thus managed to book it mid-afternoon the same day. Upon booking, we immediately got a call back from Anne, asking whether we would like to have a dinner and confirming the arrival time. This place is simple, old and uniquely charming, with a personal touch on everything you may see. It is a perfect mix of all things old with a modern twist. Impeccably remodeled rooms (ours was hidden high under the roof) with low ceilings and a fireplace, but all modern amenities - brand new windows, showers, heating units. A spacious green terrace on the hill hugging the building that you would never know is there looking just from the street- with lounge chairs and dinning tables. An old bar with 4-5 wooden tables, serving locally brewed beer. A small counter offering local specialties - jams, preserves, honey, soap. A bright breakfast room with everything your heart desires, including a Nespresso machine, for the addict in you. Tiny details here and there that are so well put in place. I don't know how this family does it and I was astonished how well the place is run. Anne seemed to have a small team of maybe 2 or 3 people that prepared a delicious dinner for a dozen or so guests. Talk about local ingredients - I bet it all has been sourced from the nearby hills. Food was delicious and worthy of any high end Parisian spot. Rooms were spotless clean. Common areas smartly designed and cozy. Breakfast room was ready at 8 am to serve any guests who wanted to leave early. Rooms were quiet and you could get a feeling you are the only one in the whole house. All in all during our 10 day road trip in France this was the best place we stayed at. I am so happy we found it online, as this is one of those nights the memories of which will last forever.
