Hotel Restaurant Le Tournedos

I was staying locally at Fontfroide Abbey and although this was 10 miles away it was worth it. I booked in for five evenings and to eat a four course meal with wine for 24 Euros was a find. Not only were portions generous but the quality and service were excellent. Compared with a local up market place I had visited another night, this was a place to return to.The service was friendly and the food in the best tradition of regional cooking. Helpings were of a decent size and this may be because the town hosts a rugby club which is celebrating its centenary! The local were friendly and it was clear that they came here in numbers and it did not depend on the tourist. The most delicious starter...

We hadn't been to this restaurant for some time as it was closed for a while for refurbishment. It is a real French restaurant serving hearty French country food. The type of food that local working people enjoy, one can see local office workers, agricultural workers etc and everyone eating and drinking with gusto. No wonder one reviewer said "Plenty to eat at last" or something to that effect. We ate ourselves to a standstill and had to leave quite a bit of food, much to our annoyance! Very refreshing to be the only Brits in a restaurant with about 70 covers which was incredibly busy all the time.

Still not made up my mind a week after a very pleasant overnight stop. The room was comfortable, clean with a good ensuite and air con. Surprisingly also had tea and coffee making facilities unusual for French hotel especially budget ones which this fell into but with a bit more personality than one of the chains. An evening meal in the hotel restaurant and patio area, also open to the public, ranged from 14.50e to 25e. The latter being 4 courses which included a delicious home-made terrine hep yourself from a bowl, and an enormous entrecôte perfectly cooked. A demi-pitcher of local rose was so good another turned up! All in all a good stop-over.

I never thought that this sort of place still existed. Family run; all home cooking; brilliant and friendly service and amazing rapport qualité-prix. Four of us had a three course lunch (plus an extra terrine course thrown in) including quarter of a litre of wine each and coffee for 75 euros.I cannot commend this place more. A Tuesday midday - it was heaving with people - there must have been 60.Go there while you can.
