Comte Roger - Carcassonne

We came here on the advice of our hotel last night and it was one of the best meals I’ve had in a long time. We spent the previous nights in Paris and nothing we had compared. The holiday special dish of turbot in risotto...was amazing. The staff are super friendly and helped us pick an amazing white wine. I would highly recommend a visit if in Carcassonne.

We stopped off in Carcassonne on our way home to Nice and, looking at the guide Michelin, had tried to book a dinner table at Comte Roger on line, unsuccessfully. So while in the old town we dropped by and asked whether there was room,...and surprisingly there was. We had read the reviews, good and bad, but decided the menu was interesting and worth trying. It was superb! The entrees were fine, mine, foie gras poêlé, quite wonderful, my magret de canard excellent, perfectly cooked with a cherry reduction sauce, and my partner's fish soup incredibly redolent and a marvel of rich tastes. The wine list is heavily local but good. Truly a very fine evening!

We have been visiting Comte Roger for many years now, certainly our favourite restaurant in Carcassonne and a cut above most others. We were lucky to get back to Carcassonne in July and we made the most of our time with a few visits...to Comte Roger, with friends as well as just the two of us. The menu is shorter than it used to be but we had plenty of choice. The magret de canard was delicious, as was the monkfish. On a cooler evening my husband had the cassoulet which was as good as ever. The puddings at Comte Roger are always delicious, I can recommend the biscuit with liquorice ice cream. Service was great and friendly. Pierre and Sylvie are so welcoming and friendly and take the time to stop for a chat. Hopefully we will be back soon! Thanks as always for delicious meals. Anne Nigel

A superb restaurant, very hospitable, wonderful cuisine, cassoulet is absolutely fantastic, the best in the world! Wonderful choice of regional wines. Fantastic service à very friendly place in this mystical Cité. Really worth a visit.

I don't know if we were unlucky because there was a big group in at the same time as us but this was the quickest course meal I've had. Within minutes of ordering our starter was served and within minutes of finishing the starter...our main course was served. We were in and out in minutes, which is fine if you have somewhere to rush to but you just won't. The food itself wasn't that tasty but very expensive.
