La Barbacane
"Set deep in historic Carcassonne, the Hôtel de la Cité is a superb example of neo-Gothic architecture, built in 1909 on the site of the former episcopal palace, whose magnificent gardens abut the ramparts. Inside, stained-glass windows, coats of arms and wainscoting lend it an ambience worthy of 19C French architect Viollet-le-Duc. Based on top quality ingredients, notably Mediterranean fish and seafood, as well as game and mushrooms in autumn, the menu champions the region’s terroir in dishes that add a new spin to classical recipes." - Michelin Inspector
