La Taverna Del Galet is located in a quiet side road about 5 minutes walk away from Thuir town centre. We ate here on 3.6.16 and although we hadn't booked in advance we arrived early enough to obtain a table at this charming, popular, family run restaurant. We were made very welcome from the moment we arrived. The restaurant itself is medium sized, traditional in style, clean and comfortable. The French Catalan cuisine was tasty, well cooked and fairly priced. Portions tend to be large, I think most people would only manage to have two courses so if you want a dessert you probably should miss out the starter. Service was excellent throughout lively, friendly and efficient. Although our knowledge of the French language is very limited there was no problem in ordering our food. On a practical note this restaurant is not open every day and seems to open later in the evening than many English restaurants, so if you want to come here I suggest you find out in advance when it is open and possibly book a table as it is justifiably popular with local residents. Although it has no parking next to the restaurant Thuir does have a free, public car park a short stroll away. Overall, we had an enjoyable evening at Del Galet.
On a recent visit to our friends Peter and Steve in the foothills of the Pyrenees we were taken to one of their favourite restaurants; Taverna Le Galet. This unprepossessing little bodega is run by Jan with his daughter, Marie, as front of house and his wife Chantal as chef. It is tucked away in a back street in the town of Thuir. Chorizos Diablos (served flaming with a mustard dipping sauce), Calamari Fritas, charcoal grills of gargantuan size, Crème Catalan and incredible Patatas Bravas form their stock in trade. Peter, on asking Chantal for the Bravas recipe, was promptly informed that first he must marry her, sleep with her on the wedding night, then, and only then, would she give him the recipe after which , of course, she would have to kill him. Having met her, I believe her. She did, however, give me two key ingredients, one being Agata potatoes, the second, far less available, the root of a thistle-like plant that she called Pannicau (my phonetically based spelling) the actual name of which I haven’t been able to discover even with the aid of Wikipedia. Their welcome, the ambiance the quality of the food make this a venue not to miss, even though it is not the easiest place to find.
Our two friends from England were staying with us again, but hadn't yet been to this restaurant. They chose the cote de boeuf and were amazed and delighted by the quality of the meat and the sheer size of the portion. Similarly, I couldn't finish my delicious entrecote, though my partner managed his tasty duck. It was no problem at all to the friendly staff to give us a (large! doggy bag to take home and they provide an apron so that, while we're having fun trying to drink from the porron, we don't get it all over ourselves! It's not easy to find this little restaurant, but it's worth it!
Lovely staff Well presented food Slight hick with the chèvre chaud salade but otherwise good Best chips ! aioli ! Scrumptious !! Take it easy with the overpriced drinks and it’s good value Also do cheap lunches,plat combinés . 79€ for 2 bit over the top but will be more careful next time.
