We arrived here travelling back from the Tarn Gorge on a trip through France on our way home. As I walked onto the terrace a nasty little dog shot out at me from one of the tables and nearly bit my leg. I was quite shaken by this but it doesn’t affect my view of the restaurant. After this unsettling opening episode we entered the restaurant, and sat down at a nice table well presented. The place is very attractively decorated and the location is very pleasant. There are great views across the stream nearby and a large airy open space in which to eat. There is a bar for those just having a drink: and of course the terrace for those wanting to sit outside. After the dog attack I unsurprisingly...
We were told that this was such a good restaurant. So we went, last week, with friends. We were 6 in total. The weather was nasty so we could not enjoy the view, which in daytime and with nice weather will be no doubt be splendid. FOOD: Starters: The courgette soup was indeed very nice and I was assured that is was vegetarian. (So also no broth from meat I hope, as I had no time to ask, no there was no meat in it.... . The other starters (tapas and escargots, you can 't really go wrong with that , were OK as well. Then the main courses came. A steak which was, according to the one who ordered that: very good. Two others had chicken breast. Tasts differ as one of these two said it was overcoo...
We thought we should investigate the recently re opened restaurant. Pleased to see that it was fairly busy. The only menu available at lunchtime appears to be the 3 course 13 euros with a choice of 2 starters, 3 main courses and 2 desserts or cheese. We thought the dishes were all rather uninteresting. My wife chose a melon and ham entree and cod with rice main course portions were adequate. I had a mozzerella and tomato entree and a tagliatelle with salmon main course, portions were small. Nice touches water with ice, it was a very hot day. Not sure it really our sort of place but we wish them luck with their new venture.
Noticed on a recent visit to Cherveix that the restaurant was open again. Fantastic meal at 13 euros for three courses (but assume the price will go up when established). Lovely owners Cyril and his wife extremely attentive, food excellent, they speak perfect English. They accommodated my no meat requests perfectly (I am a fussy eater). I just couldn't fault anything about the experience and food/drink. Will be going back soon.

Myself and family have been to the brasserie many times. The owners Ron and Helens are a delight, always happy to see us and very pleasant. Helens food is fantastic, great value for money and very tasty. Ron is a brilliant host/batman and always makes us feel welcome. Definitely recommended for people that have doubts after seeing the place with the previous owners.
This is a nicely decorated restaurant, run by a Dutch owner who is extremely friendly. He runs some theme nights such as fish and chip supper with entertainment and these prove to be very popular but he also has traditional French food and the snails were very good. Also does wonderful cocktails ...definitely worth a visit.
On entering the smart, modern decor makes you stop and check where you are. This chic brasserie must surely be in the up market section of a city. The menu is well balanced be you vegetarian or carnivore and the wine selection is well within the reach of most pockets. Well worth a visit.
Popped in on the off chance for lunch. Was not disappointed great food. Great English speaking new owner. Great value kids loved it too.
