Restaurant Le Laetitia - Les Cluses

Wish I could give this location zero starsI've ordered pizza for delivery from this location 3 separate times and never EVER received my order.

Order a pizza for take-out, too keep it short it was not good quality pizzaThe drough was sour and the crust was covered in grease and garlic sauce.

On Tuesday, used the on-line order with one of their coupons.

After visiting Fort de Bellegarde we stopped off on the way back to our hotel for dinner.The paella Royale for 2 was large and very tasty but just too much to finish. Included lobster among a good selection of sea food. The Catalan wine recommended was also good and was offered warm or chilled. The building may be uninspiring but the service was good, staff helpful although with little English and friendly.Located on road down from Perthus with parking so much easier than trying to find a parking space in the village.

We were staying just around the corner at Les Cluses so we obviously had to try the food. The restaurant is right on the road ( D900 to Perthus). Staff were friendly and greeted and seated the 4 of us quickly. Drinks orders smoothly taken and delivered. Interesting menu at 12, 19 and 29 euros, also al la carte. My wife went for the paella which was huge and stuffed full of prawns, mussels, chicken drumstick and mini pork ribs; I opted for zarzuella which is a fish stew of langoustine, squid, cuttlefish, mussels and chunks of solid fish in an amazingly tasty broth - brilliant and no room for dessert! Our friends opted for roasted Camembert with charcuterie and duck breast. All excellent and costing around 18 euros. Local wine recommended by the waiter went perfectly with the meal. We went back a few nights later and were greeted by the same waiter, he seemed genuinely pleased to see us again. people had repeat dishes but I tried the Fideoua (18 euros) which is basically paella but made with small lengths of spaghetti rather than rice. Again so tasty and enormous, I could not finish it! The ladies had lovely deserts, Baileys over chocolate or coffee ice cream. They said they "were to die for". When we asked for the bill we were also presented with a tiny glass drinking vessel with a local spirit as a digestive, nice way to end a meal.Please don't be put of by the closeness of the road, you can eat inside and the road is not too intrusive.
