Auberge de la Croisade - Cruzy

We cannot comment about the food in this restaurant, because they messed up our booking. Anyone can make a mistake, but we were offered a seat outside the restaurant on a very cool evening without any sign of remorse, or word of apology. The restaurant had the option of telephoning us to explain that there had been a mistake, but they simply waited until we got there and shrugged their shoulders. They said that they weren't bothered if we stayed or left. We left and we would advise potential customers to find one of the many good restaurants in the area where they can be assured of at least good service to go along with their food.

On our first night cruising along the canal de midi we made a reservation at this restaurant on the recommendation of Emily at Minervois Cruisers and were not disappointed. It is a very understated looking place, just at the side of the canal but the food, wine and service are all excellent. We received a very warm, friendly welcome from the maitre d and we all had the €44 set menu, consisting of 4 courses with an amuse bouche and palette cleanser between courses. Every course was excellent, with strong intense flavours, each one leaving us 'oohing' and 'aahing' with delight! There were only a couple of people dining when we arrived, but it soon filled with locals, which is sure sign of a great restaurant. Thank you Bruno and your team for a smashing start to our holiday.

Me and my wife was on a bicycle ride along the canal on a hot day in early July. We had a stop for lunch att this lovelly restaurant. Great service and a really nice lunch menu.

The owner speaks English the food is fantastic in the day or evening. Service is amazing. I advise booking as it's really popular

Recommnded by a friend we moored our boat outside this restaurant and hoped they served vegetarian food. The owner with a huge personality was totally unfazed and would accomodate any taste and we were not disappointed. Everything was excellent from the attentiveness of the staff to the quality and flavour of the food. There are numerous menus to choose from and it is one time that I am disappointed that I don't eat meat to have tried the 'surprise menu'. Please do not pass this restaurant - one of the best places to eat in France. Thank you so much from Sally and Charles on our Barge Bluegum
