Weiterlesen We were a little surprised it was open on a Sunday evening but we were so glad it was as we have enjoyed meals there before. It was surprisingly busy and was alive with the sound of people chatting and enjoying themselves which is always a good sign. As usual, we had aperitifs the usual G&T for me and the house aperitif for the wife which she really enjoyed. For starters, my wife went with the ‘Velouté de cèpes (mushrooms) and for me it was the ‘Foie gras de canard’. My wife loved hers but I was a little disappointed in mine though it was still not bad. The mains well it was a bit of a challenge for me as I went with the beef and anchovy course, that combination having raised my eyebrows when I first saw it while my wife went with the more conventional roast duck and duck confit combination. The latter was thoroughly enjoyed as was mine but the first taste got those eyebrows moving again. However, the more I ate, the more I thought ‘I would be happy to go with this again’ so my challenge was met successfully! A bottle of red, recommended by one of the waiters, helped things along nicely. My wife had the fig dessert while I had a glass of Calvados which magically appeared after being told they did not have any. However, with input from the chef, there it was! OK, in summary, I did say the Foie gras was a little disappointing so why the 5*? This was down to the staff two lads and the female maitre d’ who did the table service. I could not praise them more highly and the way we and they handled the mix of English, French and Franglais, with a few laughs included a long the way, was great. Excellent so roll on the next time!

Weiterlesen Three of us had dinner at L'Atelier last night, and it was a thoroughly enjoyable experience. Apéritifs were lovely and the hors d'oeurves delicious. There were two prix fixe menus, one at 26€ and one at 34€ we all opted for the less expensive... entrées were things like saumon carpaccio mains were a delicious layered beef, very tender or a poisson en papillote or a Lomo pork dish we didn't have the fish, but the other two were excellent. Chocolate crème brulée or a citron glacé or another choice I can't remember rounded out the desserts. Bread was fresh and warm, wine list simple and adequate, service was attentive and fun. This is not a michelin star place, but for thoughtfully prepared dishes and great service at a reasonable price, it's hard to beat.

Weiterlesen We were visiting the region mid-week during the most quiet time of the year when most restaurants are on holiday. We were surprised to find Les Loges open and willing to seat us and while we were driving there stressed about what we were likely...to find given that we would likely be the only diners. In the end the evening could not have gone better. I started with the foie gras and then the rack of lamb, both of which were great. The great surprise was the goat's milk sorbet which was delicious and served at exactly the right temperature and consistency. Dessert consisted of four tastings, all terrific. The restaurant was a brief ten-minute drive off the main road from Prades.
