Grand Café Occitan

Grand Café is a gem. We have always had delicious, inventive food. There are no unnecessary frills or frippery to disguise questionable cooking. The service is calm and controlled, again inspiring total confidence in the fact that this operation knows exactly what it’s doing and does it extremely well. Our smoked eel starter was delicious with a punchy horseradish and little mound of pink pickled onion. Our creamy fish roe was topped with soft, warm eggs. Portion sizes and presentation are perfect. We shared saddle of rabbit, served with two skewers of offal. The meat was succulent, with chips to mop up the juice. Despite feeling full - we’d mopped up every last drop with bread around the plates - we somehow managed to find space for a deep, dark chocolate pot and a little, white, wobbly buttermilk blancmange topped with strawberries and their syrup. The room was full and there was a very satisfied buzz of conversation laced with cool music at just the right level. Sadly, as we have to drive there, we couldn’t partake of a French Negroni or a linger over a bottle of Château Maris wine. (We must find friends who don’t drink!) We already look forward to the next time and will continue to recommend it as the best restaurant in the region and in fact, on our top ten list of anywhere.

Charming little restaurant, food tastes amazing, gorgeous garden, fast service! Great wine list! We’ll be back!

Fantastic food, we were a very happy group of four friends who enjoyed every mouthful of every course - definitely a place to revisit

Great food, great service & a fabulous atmosphere. Well done & ‘thank you’ Team Grandd Cafe Occitan!

My husband and I came after a recommendation, we were not disappointed. Everything about our visit was first class but the food was fantastic, fresh different to the norm and so tasty. We will return.

Service excellent, portions ideal for building up layers of a menu. Creative but honest cooking with key ingredients, good value. Comforting, relaxing. Great wine choices. A very pleasant way of spending a lunchtime.

It was our first time at Grand Café Occitan. The atmosphere is very relaxed and the service good. The food is excellent with lots of choice on the menu, which changes every day the restaurant is open. I would highly recommend this place and I am definitely going again. Merci beaucoup.

WOW! Perfection!!! Amazing food from start to finish, attentive friendly service, locally sourced food and wine, and a magical courtyard. What could be better? Make a detour and GO!
