Tantine Et Tonton - Menu

We had booked a month in advance but were sat right next to an electric box outside....it was my birthday so felt uncomfortable in complaining .We sat for 25minutes until a waiter came to take our order .it became clear that they were over booked and couldn't cope.We won't go again .

This is the best place in Limoux for lunch, in my view. Although more expensive than the restaurants on the main square, the food is beautifully presented and generally very good indeed. What brings it down? Two things - one is the very surly waiter, whose manner is a complete contrast to all the other staff and the other is the cheeky pricing policy of the menu, which contains several items with a supplément, often quite a hefty one.

The food here is excellent, wine selection also very good - all extremely reasonably priced. The location and setting are great including secluded patio for outdoor dining. This is potentially a fantastic restaurant.However the place is let down by very poor front of house which was inattentive, lacking warmth and contributed to a lack of atmosphere overall. Not surprising then to see the place half empty on a Friday night before Christmas. I rarely write a review here, but just felt this delicious food and setting deserves better!

We had previously eaten at Tantine et Tonton when the restaurant was located on the edge of town, and were impressed both by the food and the warm welcome offered by the staff. The food is still inventive, well presented and generally good, and the restaurant terrace is a pleasant place to sit. It is let down by the indifferent service. The waiter was clearly unimpressed by the fact that we did not want to order any alcohol and, when we asked for a carafe of water, he brought one that had not been chilled. The service remained perfunctory throughout the meal.

We have eaten a number of times, more by necessity, than choice. Food can be good though very erratic. In contrast, the service is absolutely deplorable. Wine is often forgotten. Bread is sometimes provided at the end of the meal. Sauces are generously provided after the dish has been consumed. There is no oversight of the dining room as the "head waiter" spends his time staring out the window or the front door ignoring the tables. And to top it off, the chef has no interest in feedback from customers or for that matter whether they like or not what has been served.

I would like to reinforce the comments made by the previous reviewer. It is a great shame that one of the restaurants offering better food in Limoux has such a poor front of house. Whatever the quality of the cuisine, we would certainly be unable to recommend Tantine because of the unfriendly and unhelpful attitude of the maitre d.' In this case we did all we could to minimise any embarrassment on the part of the restaurant by avoiding direct reference to the unpleasant smell in the courtyard by simply requesting a move to the interior room of the restaurant. Perhaps we should have been more explicit, but I very much doubt that the response would have been any better.

Après une visite très décevante dans l'ancien site de Limoux, nous avons décidé de donner une nouvelle chance à tantine et tonton, et ce fut une merveilleuse surprise que le restaurant fasse un merveilleux retour sous tous les aspects. maintenant situé dans l'hôtel moderne et pigeon., au centre de limoux nous avons apprécié un excellent déjeuner. nous étions sept et avions donc toutes les options du menu et nous avons tous adoré. pas un point faible, une présentation magnifique, des ingrédients de qualité et un personnel très sympathique qui a tout fait pour faire de ce déjeuner un événement inoubliable. nous reviendrons certainement car ce restaurant est absolument notre préféré dans la rég...

l'entrée de l'hôtel sur la place principale de Limoux était traditionnelle et élégante. nous nous sommes enfoncés dans la cour, qui était un si bel espace extérieur protégé par le soleil. nous avons choisi parmi la formule à trois curs et n'avons pas été déçus. bavoir de courgettes avec. des canapés pour moi et une coquille plate pour mon homme pour commencer, nous avons ensuite choisi à la fois le poisson du jour, une délicieuse marina avec une sauce cesciful et du buzz. les bratfigs, le miel et la glace pour finir étaient si délicieux et si raisonnables pour tout le monde. Comme de nombreux menus sont préparés uniquement pour des boissons relativement chères, un menu de vin et de café incl...

Would love to review the food at this restaurant but found the head waitor to be so rude that we left without ordering, something I have never done before. We were shown to our table on the terrace by a very pleasant member of staff who took our drinks order and whilst waiting for these we became aware of a rather unpleasant smell from the drains and decided to ask to be moved inside which was empty. Our waitor said he would have to refer our request to the head waitor and we heard no more for some time. We repeated our request but were told by the helpful young waitor that he didn't yet have an answer for us, not that difficult one would have thought! Eventually the head waitor daned to com...
