We happened upon this place when we visited Montsegur one lunchtime. We didn't like the look of the other restaurants in the village but this colourful little cafe had a friendly and welcoming vibe and seemed very reasonably priced. We went for a small veggie plate and a large plate including cheese and meat. There was a bit of a wait (which the waitress had explained to us - it seemed she was the only person working there) but we happily sat in the sunshine and enjoyed the delicious smells coming from the kitchen. When the food arrived it was fresh and delicious. Even my small plate was not small at all and very filling. It was a bargain - our bill for lunch came to €22 including drinks, ma...
We'd passed this restaurant early in the week and heard the sound of live piano coming from the windows (owner's husband). We returned a couple of days later for lunch and ordered the large plat - quiche, dried sausage (merguez, I think), couscous, salad, olives, delicious cheeses and bread. It was effectively a huge and very superior ploughman's. The lady owner/manager was very friendly and helpful, the service very good and the food spot-on.
I was here with friends on a walking trip and we dined gites style with everyone sitting together and eating what is being made that night. The cooking was simple and superb. When I am in France I want French food and with the Bitropot...you get the recipe of the chef's grandmother. I had dinner here twice and both times the food was delicious, the host pleasant and gracious and the atmosphere charming.
This place offered the evening meal part of our Demi Pension Deal in our Cathar Way Walk. It is in an old building that has been very tastefully renovated. Agnes, the owner/Koch(? /waitress is a real character, very efficient and good company. The food and service are excellent... a loan to all those affected. So if you are in the region, eat here you are not disappointed strongly recommended.

We stopped in the village of Montsegur after the ascent to the castle. We wandered around the charming streets and discovered this picturesque little café. We had a coffee and a hot chocolate. The owner was friendly and chatting. There was a beautiful old English sheepdog in the corner. A great find.

Agnes is a wonderful and charming host. The outdoor tables are best if weather permits. Menu is limited—just take the special for the day for lunch and book dinner if you want it (fixed menu, price includes good house wine). Did not have a single...bad meal here in three days.
