In a complex way, this will be a memorable experience for a long time, and one that we'll share with friends too. We were concerned that the restaurant showed no signs of life 15 minute before the opening time for dinner service. We knocked and woke up the chef/owner. This began an amusing series of events that should be incorporated into a story some day, but not here. The chef/owner is clearly a superb cook. The waiter speaks multiple languages. When items were served, the chef/owner came out to make sure we were pleased. My wife really enjoyed her pasta with vegetables. I had a combination dinner for 25 EU that allowed a wide choice of appetizers and main courses. I selected mussels as my...
Sadly, we made a point of coming back to this restaurant after passing by on a visit to Amelie les Bains (which had several restaurants.) We thought we would support this small town spot. We sat down on the inside which housed the majority of tables and were the only ones there. There were people seated on the terrace. One of us speaks Spanish and the other speaks French, both of which the Owner claimed he understood. The restaurant had local cuisine so we had some questions as to what they were so we could make a choice. We decided to keep it simple and order pizza or possibly the Milanese (schnitzel) for the kids. The Owner was quite impatient and said we needed to hurry up and get on with...
This restaurant is easy to find on the main D915 road from Ceret to Amelie les Bains. There is a car park immediately across the road from the restaurant. There is an extensive menu with various choices of French cuisine to suit all tastes from frog's legs to pizza. The waitress spoke good English. The restaurant seemed to be full only of French speaking locals which is a good sign. We turned up without having booked a table and had no hassles. Prices are average for the area. We had a variety of food including pasta, seafood, frog's legs and salads all of which were great and no cause for concern. Dessert was ice cream and fresh fruit salad (although some of this was tinned). Service was qu...
I never made it placing my orders before I observed the round little waiter go berserk over the fact a foreign family with 2 kids politely asked the waiter if their children could share a plate. Amazing to see, the waiter first refused them kids menu, then tried to squeeze up the pizza choice to more expensive ones. The last thing I saw was the little man smacking the menu in the table upon receiving the above question. Considering that the menu was so greasy that pages were stuck tight, I am glad I just walked away. 2 min up the street is a better alternative where customers are valued, prizes are lower and good local food is served. Casot de la Farga, I think it was called. Good luck!

I live nearby in Ceret, and we come here once or twice a week, when we are 'in town'. A good honest menu, which is more comprehensive than others in our area, catering for vegetarians and meat eaters, alike. It really does have an extensive menu. The Pan et Tomate et Aioli is a real killer starter/nibble, and everything is of a good standard for the price. Cod with potatoes gratin is very good, my wife like omelettes, and the mushroom one is packed with them.A restaurant you can go to , which is consistent, friendly and very good value for money
Ten of us appeared on the doorstep of La Frigoulette. We had not reserved as our outing to this restaurant was not planned in advance. The waitress, although taken aback by such an influx of customers, advised that we all take the same menu to facilitate service. Bingo! The food was very good and the price excellent.
Under new management and relieved of its previous clinical ambiance with now more character. Chef aims to please. Waiter speaks english and is very helpful. Interesting art work.
E100 for 2 courses, 2 people, 2 bottles of middling wine and unchewable lamb chops. Far too dear. Not recommended unless you are perhaps staying close by and want a pizza.
