Carcassonne - Eating
The Aude region offers an incredible variety of wines to be accompanied by special traditional dishes. Traditional local food is usually heavy, such as the Cassoulet, the famous specialty – a mixture of haricots and duck and pork. There are over fifty restaurants within the Cité walls, with great views all around. Those who love Mediterranean food will also find heaps of everything to fulfil their appetite. Expect great food!
Auberge De Dame Carcas
It’s a great venue to taste traditional regional dishes. You can try the Cassoulet, honey pork, and panned foie gras with red fruits!
Auberge Des Ducs D’oc
Just next to Dame Carcas – again a recommended restaurant offering a wide range of regional traditional food.
Auberge Des Lices
In this elegant and medieval building you will obviously find the typical cassoulet, but also other dishes such as the ‘parillada’ made with fresh fish are worth a try. There is delicious homemade ice cream and bread!
Jardin De La Tour
With its outside tables, it’s a good venue, offering both regional and Mediterranean food.
Le Vieux Four
This small but inviting restaurant serves traditional French food as well as Italian food, all cooked in wood-fired oven. Pizzas and cassoulet are delicious! A great atmosphere at reasonable prices.
L’arbre De Vie
Sit back and enjoy great local specialities with lovely views of the Medieval Cité at good prices.
L’ecurie
Located in an old stable, this place is something else! During summer time, you can eat romantically in the charming garden under hundred-year-old trees.
Chez Fred
Just a short walk from Canal du Midi, “Chez Fred” serves sophisticated, traditional Mediterranean food. There is a nice shady terrace. The Cathary lamb is worth a try!
