Dining
Auberge du Vieux Puits
Gilles Goujon, sometimes nicknamed the "innkeeper of the Corbières", is credited with putting the tiny village of Fontjoncouse ((in the Aude département) on the map of French high-end gastronomy. His trademark? Sincerity and expertise. As his regulars know, he puts his heart and soul into every dish. With his sons Enzo (savoury dishes) and Axel (sweet) at his side, Goujon is in a league of his own when it comes to taking a back seat to the ingredients and letting them do the talking in all their simplicity – the mark of the greats. The ingredients are exceptional and he takes enormous pleasure
WebsiteLa Table Lionel Giraud
The place is named after Abbé St Crescent, who in the Middle Ages opened his doors to pilgrims on the Camino de Santiago. The arcades and bare stones may be a throwback to the distant past, but today the decor is ultra-modern, with finely crafted black and white polished concrete floors and sculptural one-piece seats. Lionel Giraud, son of a restaurant owner, is a strong advocate of locally sourced produce. An inventive chef, he honours ingredients from the most noble (Mediterranean red tuna) to the most modest (green beans) and everything in between, such as an authentic Corbières buffalo moz
WebsiteCave à Vin & à Manger - Maison Saint-Crescent
La Cave à Manger by Lionel Giraud proposes bistro cuisine made with top-notch ingredients from Occitanie. The food is rugged, flavoursome and spot-on – special mention for the chuck beef slowly simmered in its juices and the velvety purée of carrots. La Cave à Vin, located under the same roof, boasts 2,500 wines; pick a bottle to drink with your meal for a corkage fee. A real winner.
WebsiteLe Bastion
Take a seat in one of two pretty rustic dining spaces to sample "avant-garde country fare", inspired by Auguste Escoffier but with a modern twist. Great produce from the region is used – tomatoes from the Estarac Gardens, vinegar by Cyril Codigna, fish fresh from the market at Port la Nouvelle… Concise tapas menu and spacious terrace.
WebsiteMéditerranéo - Château Capitoul
In the Massif de la Clape, between Narbonne and the Mediterranean, vineyards and garrigue, this manor house sits pretty in a wine estate that has been run by the same family for seven generations. Chef Valère Diochet's cuisine is unabashedly Mediterranean. A host of aromatic plants – basil, purslane, lovage – enhance this aesthetic cuisine, which is refined, precise and light: marinated monkfish, courgette with lovage; red mullet cooked on one side. The restaurant's plush Art Deco interior overlooks the vineyards and the waters of the Étang de Bages. The wine list is informative, with wines fr
