This site is a non-official site, just a personal page about Carcassonne,so the address-list below is a very subjective one. We wanted to give our visitors a selection of good quality addresses, so that they keep always good memories of their stay in Carcassonne. As we live the whole year round in the city, we have a quite good experience of all those restaurants and shops, that are not just made for tourists...

La Barbacane, Place St Nazaire, La Cité tel : 04 68 71 98 71 |
The "nec plus ultra" for regional cuisine and decoration in Carcassonne.This is the restaurant of the famous Hôtel de la Cité, 4* luxury hotel. Of courses prices are high, but you get for what you pay !! Imagine a dinner in a neo-gothic style dining room, with a view over the ramparts... | |
|
Au Comte Roger, 14, rue St Louis, La Cité tel : 04 68 11 93 40 |
This restaurant is situated in the heart of the medieval city. At first sight not very attractive (except the old well in the courtyard), but really one of the best addresses in Carcassonne. Regional cuisine using exclusively local fresh products. | |
|
Brasserie du Donjon, 2, Porte d'Aude, La Cité tel : 04 68 25 95 72 |
If you want to taste the true cassoulet, this is the place you have to be ! Andrée and all her staff will welcome you as if it were intheir own house ! |

|
Le St Jean, 1 Place St Jean, La Cité tel : 04 68 47 42 43 |
Nice terrace for this little restaurant which is inside of the medieval city, but which is aside from the main touristic spots. Very quiet place for a quiet and intimate moment. | |
|
Les Fontaines du Soleil, 32, rue du Plö, La Cité tel : 04 68 47 87 06 |

|
Le Bar à Vins, 6, rue du Plô, La Cité tel : 04 68 47 38 38 |

|
Le Bistrot d'Augustin, 2, av. Maréchal Joffre, Carcassonne (Ville Basse) tel : 04 68 25 14 24 |
You have eaten too many cassoulets, magrets de canard or confits ?? So try the Bistrot, and have a huge sauerkraut !! Not really a local speciality, but they are excellent here ! Also specialized in shellfish. Unique in Carcassonne : "art nouveau" style restaurant ! | |
|
La Divine Comédie, 29, Bd Jean Jaurès, Carcassonne (Ville Basse) Tel : 04 68 72 30 36 |
Situated just in front of the Palace of Justice (maybe that explains the name...) fréquented by the Carcassonnais. Regional food of course, but also pizzas and excellent meat. | |

| Cellier des Vignerons, rue du Grand Puits, La Cité | THE place you have to visit during your stay in Carcassonne !! Christiane will explain everything about our wines, appellations, grapes, ... and about the winegrowers as well. Because wine is not just a drink, it is a tradition, it is a culture in itself ! Really not to miss. | |
