Hotel Restaurant Le Tournedos

I never thought that this sort of place still existed. Family run; all home cooking; brilliant and friendly service and amazing rapport qualité-prix. Four of us had a three course lunch (plus an extra terrine course thrown in) including quarter of a litre of wine each and coffee for 75 euros.I cannot commend this place more. A Tuesday midday - it was heaving with people - there must have been 60.Go there while you can.

Still not made up my mind a week after a very pleasant overnight stop. The room was comfortable, clean with a good ensuite and air con. Surprisingly also had tea and coffee making facilities unusual for French hotel especially budget ones which this fell into...but with a bit more personality than one of the chains. An evening meal in the hotel restaurant and patio area, also open to the public, ranged from 14.50e to 25e. The latter being 4 courses which included a delicious home-made terrine hep yourself from a bowl, and an enormous entrecôte perfectly cooked. A demi-pitcher of local rose was so good another turned up! All in all a good stop-over.

Un hôtel vraiment vintage, tout simplement presque rustique, la porte de la salle de bain ne se fermait pas, mais c'était propre. Nous avions réservé par notre service de dépannage automobile, on leur avait dit qu'un diabétologue était présent dans le groupe et que nous aurions besoin de nourriture, mais quand nous sommes arrivés, on nous a dit que le restaurant était complet et qu'il y avait d'autres restaurants à 10/15 minutes à pied en ville. Nous avons découvert que les habitants avaient accès au restaurant, on en apprend tous les jours. Quant au wifi gratuit, il n'était disponible qu'à la réception et étant donné que nous essayions d'organiser le retour de notre voiture, la vie était di...

The title of this review is ENTIRELY positive. We've eaten here several times and this was the first time we have not ended up at the end of the evening feeling completely 'stuffed'. The reason? We shared a starter then shared a cassoulet de la maison! The food choice at Tournedos is really good, with local dishes served up in traditional French helpings. It is very hard to resist and dangerously addictive. With good wine by the carafe, good service, a welcoming wood fire for cooking the meats at the end of the dining area and very reasonable prices for menus and 'a la carte', you just can't go wrong! Wednesday night in late April and no empty tables - only us and two Dutchmen were non-Frenc...

This was our third visit. Our first two led us to the conclusion that the quality of the food more than offset the rather average accommodation but this year the accommodation was very poor indeed. To be specific: the toilet seat was loose and there...was a leak from the base; the shower took ages to heat up; the shower head fixing was broken so we had to shower holding it with one hand; the shower tray filled up and the floor of the bathroom became soaked. The shower problems were reported but the only response was that we should let it run and it would heat up it did to be fair but the other issues made for a less than pleasant stay. That said, the restaurant was superb and we’d go there f...

Nous étions en famille dans un petit village près de Carcassonne et on nous a emmenés dans ce restaurant, qui est également un hôtel. Quand nous sommes arrivés, nous étions les seuls dans la salle à manger. Nous avons commandé des boissons puis choisi nos repas. Comme notre français n'est pas le meilleur et son anglais est juste un peu meilleur, nous avons décidé de ne pas prendre d'entrée et de commander notre plat principal. J'ai choisi un tournedos au poivre, ou un filet de steak cuit au bois. C'était phénoménal! Probablement l'un des meilleurs steaks que j'aie jamais mangés, et je mange beaucoup de steak en vacances. Le seul point négatif était les accompagnements qui n'étaient pas les m...

I was staying locally at Fontfroide Abbey and although this was 10 miles away it was worth it. I booked in for five evenings and to eat a four course meal with wine for 24 Euros was a find. Not only were portions generous but the quality and service were excellent. Compared with a local up market place I had visited another night, this was a place to return to.The service was friendly and the food in the best tradition of regional cooking. Helpings were of a decent size and this may be because the town hosts a rugby club which is celebrating its centenary! The local were friendly and it was clear that they came here in numbers and it did not depend on the tourist. The most delicious starter...

Je logeais sur place à l'abbaye de Fontfroide et même si c'était à 16 km, cela en valait la peine. J'avais réservé pour cinq soirées et manger un repas de quatre plats avec du vin pour 24 euros était une trouvaille. Non seulement les portions étaient généreuses, mais la qualité et le service étaient excellents. Comparé à un marché local haut de gamme que j'avais visité une autre nuit, c'était un endroit où retourner. Le service était sympathique et la nourriture dans la meilleure tradition de la cuisine régionale. Les portions étaient d'une taille convenable et c'est peut-être parce que la ville accueille un club de rugby qui fête son centenaire ! Les locaux étaient sympathiques et il était...
