Madame and I had a really enjoyable lunch at la Magnanerie on an October Sunday, and would recommend the place to anyone. We had driven out from Montauban to have a look at Cordes-sur-Ciel, a truly fantastic fortified Cathar town on a hill in the Tarn. It was ancient and impressive, and we'd thought to have lunch up in the town but -- no surprise for a 13th-century hill town -- there was no parking anywhere. It emerged, in fact, that nearly everyone parks down the hill and walks up (a fine adventure to be sure, with the gorgeous little town as reward, but more of an effort than these two senior citizens felt able to give. In fact, we may have been the first people to drive up and then back d...
Wow. Did I say wow? The service was wonderful, that must be said, a smile and a very courteous staff really saved this place. Every chef has their signature. This chef's is basil. Can you imagine a tuna tartare with so much basil and lime that the fish could have died just from that?Basil infusion is delicious, but when you randomly throw it on every piece of food you serve, it sort of becomes horrible. Salad, meet, fish, potatoes, vegetables. Everything with Basil? Yes!The decor: bright white light, plastic wall pieces to spruce up the completely misaligned design of the chateau environment. Led lights that change colours every 3 seconds to make you feel you're in a teenage disco in the cou...
We booked this on the strength of other reviews - thanks to those that had submitted them.Fantastic food, great service, lovely setting (we will return when it is warm enough to eat on the terrace).All three of us chose the 29€ deal, with a lovely goats cheese mousse Mis en bouche, starters mains and dessert. Excellent value. The waiter was great, helpful, attentive and informative, adding additional information on food choices, and recommending a really nice local Galliac wine.Everything was cooked to perfection, and beautifully presented.All in all, a great Friday night out, great value and we'll be back!
We can thoroughly recommend the restaurant. It has been under new management for the last nine months and they are building up their reputation. Our lunch was delicious and was beautifully presented too. It was a pity that there were not more people there that day but that is one of the main reasons I am writing this to encourage others to give it a try! We ate in the garden with its lovely views but inside too looked very pleasant and I feel sure that the food will not fail to impress.
