Comte Roger Carcassonne

My husband and I didn't have a dinner reservation so were given a table outdoors which was fine since the weather was nice. However, there were many trees in the outdoor seating area and a very small leaf would occasionally fall onto the table or my glass of water. The menu had 3 vegan options and we ordered all of them: hummus and two vegetable dishes (which looked alike in presentation except one was warm because it was cooked in broth). The portion size seemed small but was actually filling. Food was delicious. Staff was busy but relatively efficient, and spoke English.

Since we were in the region, where Cassoulet is abundant, we decided to take our hosts suggestion and go to the place where even the Michelin guide says you should go. It was about 8:30 PM on a Wednesday night so we rolled the dice and decided to give it a try even though we didn’t have reservations. Though the place was nearly full, the host greeted us and we explained that we were really looking forward to having dinner with them. He spoke possible English and I speak passable French so we figured it out. Something must’ve clicked because he said wait just a couple of minutes. As we were doing so several other servers came up to see if we’d been greeted, all of them, indicating that there were no seats available. So glad that we found the right guy! Please note that none of the other servers were unpleasant, they just knew how busy things were. We were seated outside and with the evening at a pleasant temperature, the setting really was magical. In fact when we went in to use the restroom inside, we were happy that we had gotten the patio as the noise level was a little louder than we would’ve preferred for that particular evening. That initial greeting set the tone for the whole evening. All of the staff were super friendly, went out out of their way to make us feel welcome, and that out desires were being met for the evening. When the waiter brought us the menus, I told him that we heard their Cassoulet was outstanding and we didn’t need them. He got a good chuckle and let us know that we were making a good choice. All of the advice was exactly correct. The meal was stupendous! We had both had the dish elsewhere in the past, but nothing compared to what we were served. Speaking of that, The service was impeccable. In fact, it was so wonderful that I signaled the manager who came over and let her know what a great evening we had had. And that all of their staff was to be commended. A lot of times it’s wise not to believe the hype, but this time it was definitely true. Sure, you can get the dish elsewhere, but not in this atmosphere and not at this level of perfection. A small bit of advice, I’m pretty sure we were fortunate to get a seat as we saw multiple couples and groups turned away after we arrived. So make a reservation. You really do want to eat here :-)

After a chilly, rainy morning exploring the ramparts of Carcassonne, we took refuge in the old town for lunch at Comte Roger - Carcassonne, a MICHELIN Guide recommended spot that delivered exactly what we needed. • My partner and I shared some tasty potato churros, a rich, comforting cassoulet paired with a glass of red wine and a little sip of Armagnac, basically a warm hug in food and drink form. • Was it the best cassoulet we have ever had? Not quite, but it was deeply satisfying, and absolutely perfect for the moment. • We ended the meal with a dessert (Le Glacé) that really surprised us. It was composed of muscat grape ice cream with oreillette crisps. Light, fresh with some flowery notes and delightfully local. An ideal finish to such a hearty meal.

Amazing food with a friendly service. The cassoulet was fresh and full of flavour. Just what we needed after a VERY long and exciting day wandering around the city. We forgot that dinner starts at 7, but the staff were so understanding, and seated us early. We were the only people in the restaurant. Thank you again for going above and beyond.

I’ve been looking for a good restaurant for a while and this one was recommended to me by a friend. I guess it’s a good choice. The local homemade cassoulet is incredible and strongly recommended as you can feel the history of the ancient city. The atmosphere is cozy and frisky but don’t forget to book in advance. It’s so crowded

The food was delicious! We had the meli melo, seafood, poultry, the cassoulet and various desserts and everything tasted very good. The food was also nicely presented and the service was friendly and attentive.

An amazing meal - the best foie gras we’ve ever had. The tagliatelle is also wonderful. The staff are so lovely and the food is so good, we went back two nights in a row!

Comte Roger is an amazing restaurant inside the walled city of Carcassonne. If you're looking for authentic regional cuisine, this is the place to go. Their specialty, the Cassoulet, was absolutely unbelievable—rich, flavorful, and perfectly cooked. The desserts were just as impressive, especially the triangle and the rectangle, which were both delicious and beautifully presented. The location is lovely, nestled within the historic walls, making for a charming and memorable dining experience. It's 100% worth the money for the quality of food and the ambiance. Highly recommend if you're in Carcassonne!
