Restaurant Bruniquel Chez PIGASSOU — Restaurant in Montauban

What a delightful find in a town of only 600 people. It must be that the visitors to Bruniquel Castle provide enough customers to keep Chez Pigassou in business. I first came across the restaurant when researching Google for more details on Bruniquel Castle and the Bruniquel caves, where there is possible evidence of occupation 175,600 years ago, long before Homo Sapiens settled in the area.

Pensez à demander et auscultez le reçu au moment de payer. L'accueil de la serveuse nous avait paru professionnel et sympathique, mais la transcription de la prise de commande n'est visiblement pas au point. La carte Swile a été refusée bien que l'établissement soit référencé. La raison donnée était "nous n'avons pas reçu le matériel" alors que Swile me disent qu'il n'y a pas de matériel particulier requis pour accepter les paiements. La planche de charcuterie n'a pas marqué nos palais ni esprits. Le confit frites et la salade foie gras étaient bons. Le vin rosé aussi. Il y a d'autres établissements offrant un meilleur rapport qualité/prix à et autour...
