L'Alicanta
L'Alicanta has been on the scene for a while, perched on the banks of the River Jonte, in the exceptional setting of the Gorges du Tarn. The chef puts in a solid performance, his cooking is replete with distinct flavours and his dishes are brilliantly assembled. Everything here is home-made and the menu changes with every season. Absolutely delicious!
TripAdvisor review sample · 4.6/5 · 80 reviews
Located in Peyreleau, L'Alicanta specializes in modern cuisine with generally high praise for its exquisite dishes, such as mushroom and foie gras ravioli, grilled zander, and rabbit rack. Guests appreciate the original flavor combinations and the beautiful terrace views. Service is typically warm and professional, though some reviewers note the pacing is too fast, resembling a quick-service environment. While most experiences are positive, isolated complaints mention excessive salt, cold cheese, or unjustified price differences between menus. Overall, the restaurant offers a refined dining atmosphere with strong culinary execution, making it a notable stop despite minor inconsistencies in service tempo and value perception.
Suitable for diners seeking refined modern cuisine in a scenic setting who can tolerate a brisk service pace.
