Slow-cooked white bean and meat stew from the wider Languedoc area, deeply tied to Carcassonne and prized for its rich, rustic flavour.
Gently confit duck leg, often served with cassoulet or potatoes. It is a classic south-west French preparation valued for its tender meat and crisp skin.
Duck gizzards slowly cooked in fat, then served warm in salads. A traditional regional ingredient that reflects the area’s duck-based cuisine.
Polished restaurant in Hotel de la Cité offering refined regional cuisine and a more elegant atmosphere for a leisurely meal.
Traditional restaurant inside the medieval city known for cassoulet and regional dishes in a historic, atmospheric setting.
Established dining room near the château serving south-west French classics, with a refined but approachable atmosphere.
Moderate for France: lodging in and near the citadel can be tourist-priced, but casual meals and local buses remain reasonable versus larger French city breaks.
Service is usually included. Round up or leave 5-10% for very good restaurant service; round up taxi fares; small change is fine in cafés.
