Local produce and a vegetable garden, the linchpins of our gourmet cuisine

  • Michelin-starred gourmet restaurant

  • In the heart of medieval Carcassonne

  • Vegetable garden and honey from our beehives

  • Regional wines and signature cocktails

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) Very good gourmet restaurant. Too bad, I forgot to take the photos Homemade local products. Menu available for €49 for lunch with an all-inclusive formula. Very fine and delicious meal. Very high level compared to others which display the same price for a quality product. much less.

    (Translated by Google) The appetizers were very good, the starter ordinary (pâté en croute), the main course too fatty (meat quality unsatisfactory), dessert ok nothing more. Selection of wines: not a discovery. When we compare to a few years ago, we are disappointed.

    Les amuses-bouche étaient très bien, l'entrée banale (paté en croute), le plat principal trop gras (qualité de la viande non satisfaisante), dessert ok sans plus. Sélection des vins : pas une découverte. Quand on compare à il y a quelques années, nous sommes déçus.
