Les jardins de Bages — Restaurant in Narbonne

Really a hidden gem. Bages itself is a tiny coastal town straight from a post card, while les Jardins sits right in the middle of its picturesque town square. We were seated right underneath a beautiful, looming olive tree that encompassed one third of the square and were able to enjoy peaceful Bages to its fullest Les Jardins des Bages offered some great vegetarian options which aren't always easy to come by in France. It being an épicerie, they use spices very generously, but with great results. We ended up having a three course meal and enjoying all of it. We will definitely come back here. The olive tree did come with one disadvantage; there was an abundance of mosquittos once the sun had set, so be sure to wear jeans and bring...

We stayed for a weekend in Bages at the same square as Les jardin the Bages. We had coffee and drinks a couple of times with our family of 5 and lunch on Sunday. The atmosphere at the square is beautiful. Les jardin the Bages is a gem. The terrace surrounds a huge olive tree. The service was good, considering how busy it was. We did have to wait for a long time when we had lunch, but the waitresses were organized and managed our expectations. The food was good. We had the tajine with kofte (nice, maybe a bit bland to our taste), the grilled mackerel (same), the squid (very good), the entrecôte (very good) and the salad with tarte de chevre (nice).

Disappointed Experience

We were really disappointed with our visit. We came as a group of four (two adults and two kids) and ordered curry with fish and prawns for the adults, and steak haché with potatoes for the kids.

The service was quite slow, but we understood—the waitress was working alone and clearly doing her best. However, the food itself was very underwhelming.

There was no sign of prawns in our curry—none at all. The kids’ plates were the most boring and unimaginative meals we've ever seen (see attached photos).

In the end, we had to stop at KFC just to get the kids something actually edible.

Overall, not an experience...
