Le Trauquet — Restaurant in Carcassonne

He said that he could do drinks but only if we moved to a 2-person table (despite not requiring this of anyone else). At this point we left. Made to feel like second-class citizens and that our custom was an inconvenience to them. Avoid - plenty of much nicer...

If I could give half stars I would say 3.5 to 4. The restaurant is located in the centre of the old town, and is very traditional in style with lots of atmosphere. The food was tasty if a bit over seasond for my taste both of us had the cassoulet, it was tasty and very filling a real winter warmer of a dish. We both finished off the meal with bread pudding made with brioche very nice only niggle I thought the custard was a bit too runny. Service on the night was ok though if you are in a hurry this is not a...
