Le comptoir de Germain — Restaurant in Rodez

Walking into Conques at the end of two weeks of hiking on the Chemin de Saint Jacques ended with a cheese platter and beers for me and my friend Becky. The cheeses on the platter were local and absolutely wonderful, especially the creamy and exquisite Roquefort. Two raw-milk tommes were also a treat. The bread and the beers were also very good and served with great kindness and humor by Germain (I think he gave us a different name). After that, we ordered a bit more cheese and a delicious local white wine, also wonderful! Everything was local, top quality, and delicious. I stayed in the bed & brekfast upstairs and my room was also just perfect--with a view of the abbey, a super-comfy bed, and a spotless bathroom with everything I needed or wanted. Breakfast the next morning was also just perfect and again with high-quality...

What a delightful experience we had at the Comptoir de Germain ! They offer a wonderful selection of local cheeses and charcuterie which Germain, as he presents it to you, shares the name of the farmer and village from which it came. Comfortable seating, nice setting. We didn't feel like we were in a touristy eaterie, but more like at a friend's place. We shared a laugh because I made the mistake of calling the cheese " bleu"....Germain corrected me....its roquefort ! ( with a wagging of his finger ) 😆 Last but not least, the artisanal ice-cream is to die for! The whole experience = ☆☆☆☆☆

We had an enjoyable experience here. I think now we love France because of the lovely lady who explained how the ice cream and the cake were made -with milk and fruits from the local farms. We both didn't speak French, but she did so passionately and patiently that we did understand everything, especially the love there. Plus, as the cherry on top of the cake, we got baby pigeons which got us fascinated and made us have the best time.

The pistachio ice cream is my recommendation.

It would help if you did not...
