This was the worst food in France. We are not the travelers that have had a bad experience once. This restaurant was our treasure the first time we found it. They had expertly prepared food that could rival any chef and it was truly a memory we held for many years. The past few times we visited have been less than quality but this past week we have had enough. The food was nearly inedible. I ordered lamb and the dish was so full of inedible things I sent it back just as it came. There were bones the size of oranges with no meat to speak of. Whole bay leaves, Garlic with still the paper on it, and it was all muddy grey with wine over many hours. I am a gourmet cook and I can tell you that the...
We first visited in 2020 during a 1-week stay in Castelnou. We ate here two or three times feasting on Catalan specialties. The food, wine and ambiance could not be faulted. Imagine our disappointment when we visited on Sunday 5 Jun to find that the menu consisted of a very few specials and many, many pizzas and bruschettas. There was no indication of any changes outside, only when we sat down and were presented with the very underwhelming menu. We won 't visit again.
We stopped in for lunch while visiting Castelnou and had portions of the plat du jour. The service was good but the food was expensive and not worth the price. The appetizer was good (some small filleted sardines) but the main course arrived somewhat cold and consisted of penne pasta 2 tiny shrimp. The dessert was a few warm green grapes, a tiny slice of cooked apple a miniature biscuit. If this is typical don't bother with this place. We felt ripped off.
Unfortunately the lunchtime special of the day which tempted us in had finished and the other menu offerings were a bit limited. However we tried the traditional meatballs served over beans with olives and the dish was very tasty and a large portion. The other dish of black risotto with seafood was not very good though as no taste. The service was very friendly and would try this restaurant again if ever in the area.
The food was very nice but the menu was very limited. However the service was both warm and friendly which more than made up for the lack of choice.
