Best Languedoc Restaurants... Eating out is a part of the French way of life.   Don’t have a holiday in France without having a meal in a French restaurant.  Although there are many unusual French foods (frogs legs, snails, tête de veau etc.) you will find many foods that are a true delight!  The Languedoc has some fantastic restaurants to choose from with a Catalan influence in the south around Perpignan.
Which restaurant?  Try to find a restaurant that is targeted at French diners (French menus are a good clue!).  Don’t expect to find a fantastic restaurant in the major tourist destinations - here we would recommend something safe and straightforward such as pizza, crêpes etc..
Which time?  It’s often cheaper to eat at lunchtime and during the week.  Sunday lunch is always busy and it pays to book ahead.  In the evenings, don’t arrive too early - 7.30PM is often the earliest you can get served.
Which menu?  Don’t go for à la carte options.  Usually they have the same options as the menu prix fixe and they cost a lot more!  Avoid Menu Touristique like the plague!
Which wine?  Wine can be quite expensive if you go for named bottles.  But carafes of house white or red wine have usually been exquisitely selected by the restauranteur and are excellent value.  Refer to our wine section for more advice on wines in France.

Domaine du Moulin
Caixas

Tel: 04 68 38 87 84

This restaurant is in an absolutely fabulous setting with delicious (but expensive) menus.  They have a large outside terrace in a remote and peaceful setting.  Follow the dirt track down into the valley on the Forques side of Caixas.  Not so much choice for younger ones so probably only to be recommended if your family is adventurous!
