Discover La Barbacane, a Michelin-starred restaurant in the middle of the medieval city of Carcassonne. Enjoy dishes made with local produce and taste quality regional wines in an enchanting setting, or take time out from daily life on our leafy terrace with sublime views over the fortified town.

Named in honour of the barbican, part of the historic city fortifications, our century-old restaurant sits at the heart of medieval Carcassonne. Soak up its remarkable atmosphere in the majestic dining room, decorated with beamed wooden ceilings and stained-glass windows.

Our chef takes his inspiration from local producers and Mediterranean fishermen, taking pride in creating recipes using vegetables and herbs from our garden. Try our signature dish: fillet of Aubrac beef and foie gras, baby carrots and dauphinoise potatoes with summer truffles, served with a rich Périgord sauce.

Take a breather on our panoramic terrace to admire the spectacular views over the ramparts and Bastide Saint-Louis. Relax in these peaceful surroundings and sample a Rigolo Spritz, our signature, vermouth-based cocktail, created in collaboration with Carcassone's artisan liqueur maker, Cabanel.

    (Translated by Google) Wow!Wow!Wow! My best lunch ever! Price, performance, service, ambience - everything is just right. If you weren't here, you missed a highlight of La Cite. Next time we will try both the dinner and the hotel.
    Clear recommendation to repeat.

    Wow!Wow!Wow! Mein bestes Mittagessen überhaupt! Preis, Leistung, Service, Ambiente / es stimmt einfach alles. Wer hier nicht war hat ein Highlight der La Cite verpasst. Beim nächsten mal werden wir sowohl das Abendessen als auch das Hotel testen.
    Klare Wiederholungsempfehlung.

    (Translated by Google) We chose the 8-course tasting menu: it's a treat from the first to the last course, perfect harmony on each plate.
    Very welcoming and friendly staff.
    We recommend this place: a real gem in a wonderful setting that is the city of Carcassonne.

    Excellent restaurant in an incredibly nice ambiance just in front of the Cité. Perfect service and great value for money if you opt for the set lunch menu.

    (Translated by Google) We fell in love with the terrace which offers an unreal setting for our meal.
    Excellent service from start to finish, with proper consideration of gluten intolerance, which is always potentially a source of stress.
    Finally, modern dishes from starter to dessert, with good cooking skills, accompanied by a very good local wine recommended to us by the sommelier.
    Well done.

    Coup de cœur pour la terrasse qui offre un décor irréel à notre repas.
    Excellent service du début à la fin, avec la bonne prise en compte de l intolerance au gluten, qui est toujours potentiellement une source de stress.
    Enfin des plats modernes de l'entrée au dessert, avec une bonne maîtrise des cuissons, accompagnés par un très bon vin du pays que nous a recommandé le sommelier.
    Bravo.
