Our table d'hôte, Cassoulet of Castelnaudary
Cassoulet, a legendary dish
We would like to share with you a dish steeped in history: Cassoulet of Castelnaudary.
Legend has it that Cassoulet was created during the Hundred Years' War, when the besieged inhabitants of Castelnaudary gathered everything they had to hand – broad beans
(now replaced by white beans), meat, sausages – to feed the defenders and restore their strength.
The dish was so delicious and nourishing that, over the centuries, it became the region's emblematic speciality.
Still today, cassoulet simmers slowly in its terracotta 'cassole' and remains a symbol of generosity, sharing and local history.
So, sit back and let this great Occitan classic tell you its story... through its flavours!
Welcome to our table!
We offer a single menu, exclusively reserved for our guests.
Dinner is served on our patio, where you can enjoy the balmy evenings, or in the dining room for a more intimate atmosphere.
The evening begins with a convivial aperitif, ideal for relaxing and sharing a pleasant moment.
This is followed by our traditional cassoulet, served in its authentic 'cassole' dish and accompanied by a small green salad for a touch of freshness.
For a sweet finish, we offer ice cream accompanied by prunes in Armagnac, a gourmet speciality straight from Gascony in the South-west.
Finally, a coffee or herbal tea will delicately round off your dinner.
As is the case for your breakfast, we favour locally sourced products.
The meat in our cassoulet is 100% French, and the beans are grown in the Lauragais region.
The ice cream is made by a local producer, and the Armagnac-flavoured prunes come directly from a grower in the South-west.
We invite you to accompany your dinner with a regional wine, carefully selected by our wine merchant.
Table d'hôte meals are served on certain days only, by reservation, for a minimum of two people.
Aperitif, cassoulet with salad, dessert and coffee: €35 per person.
Wine pairing: €5 per glass.
