Pres de la Fontaine

This was truly a chance discovery. We chose a walk from Portel des Corbieres, and simply consulted TripAdvisor to select the best of the four restaurants in a "well-stocked" town. We were not disappointed. There are only four tables on the small outdoor terrace but we secured one of them on a weekday lunchtime. The chef/proprietor could not have been more charming. The cuisine is a genuine "fusion" of French and Asian cooking. We started with moules (mussels), delicious. We then each had different main courses, one a salmi of guinea fowl, and the other a choice steak. The vegetable accompaniment for each main course was the same: thin strips of vegetable grown in their own vegetable garden m...

Nous avons découvert ce petit bijou caché en route vers le musée du vin de Terra Vinea. En montant vers le musée, nous nous sommes arrêtés pour demander notre chemin au restaurant. En redescendant, nous nous sommes arrêtés pour y manger. Le menu était original et d'un excellent rapport qualité-prix à 19,00 € pour deux plats, plus quelques euros de plus pour le dessert. J'ai commencé avec une énorme assiette de magret de canard fumé, fait maison, suivi d'une grande portion de Lotte avec une garniture. Le tout accompagné d'un excellent rosé local. Nous avons partagé un dessert au chocolat qui était superbe. Cette nouvelle entreprise est dirigée par le chef qui est originaire de Paris et nous a...

Nous avons été recommandés à ce restaurant par nos hôtes. Il est niché dans une petite rue à Portel. La cuisine est ouverte et visible par tous les convives, on peut voir l'activité frénétique qui s'y déroule. Ce restaurant est petit et dirigé par le chef/propriétaire qui garde un œil sur tout. Le menu est un peu hors des sentiers battus mais très bon. Nous avons dégusté de délicieuses moules et divers coquillages avec juste une subtile touche d'épices orientales. Parfait à mon avis. L'homme en charge était serviable, amical et avait un sens de l'humour. Bonne carte des vins et clairement un lieu apprécié par les habitants. Nous y retournerons certainement si nous sommes dans la région.

We were fortunate enough to be recommended this restaurant by a person in the know. It is slightly off the beaten track but on a quiet village street in Portel des corbieres, which already is gaining a culinary reputation through its over good restaurants. However i would say that this place has stepped things up, with it's open kitchen, numerous chefs, and asian influenced menu. Lionel the chief takes time to make sure everything was satisfactorily to our requirements and the menu is pitched at an affordable level at 22 euros for 2 courses. A lot of time has been devoted to this establishment both inside and out and is a superb new addition to the area. Réservez une table maintenant

This sleepy village boasts an imaginative restaurant run by a very experienced chef Lionel, who personally sources and or grows the food he cooks. No reaching into the freezer here. Excellent value for money, three courses for 22 Euros. The selection of dishes is astonishing and each is beautifully presented, imaginative and colourful. Food is cooked to perfection and the service is welcoming. The desert menu is too good to be true so leave space if you enjoy a starter of stuffed moules, followed by lamb or duck cooked to perfection and apricots served on rhubarb delicately marinated in liquorice. All to be followed by a serious nap.

Visited on a Friday lunch, didn't book due to time of year, but restaurant doing brisk business, after eating we could understand why. Excellent value and excellent food. The menu was unusual in they it had a strong Asian/Thai influence, particularly the consommé - which my wife considered one the best starter dishes ever. I had a Côte de veau which despite its size (big) cooked beautifully. The service was excellent, friendly and lighthearted but attentive. A small but nice wine selection. Perhaps the only course which was good but not excellent was the dessert. Well worth a visit if in the area

Tasty late Saturday lunch. Every course a delight for all four of us. Top starter was the stuffed mussels, the vote for main course went to the exceptional Guinea fowl whilst each of us would claim our dessert as the best. House red was a very good choice. Service excellent Overall very good and brilliant value. We'll be back soon
