Menu 25€ to 42€.

This restaurant has become a must in the Narbonne gourmet scene. Located in the Place Lamourguier, “Les Cuisiniers Cavistes” headed by the lovely Marc Schwall, have imposed their vision of “good eating”. Former chef at les Giraud, then head chef at l’Hospitalet, Marc Schwall’s success and that of his team, is both gastronomic and commercial and the restaurant has continued to develop. This is thanks to wanting to offer both an à la carte and take away service, using exclusively local products selected rigorously by a panel of tasters. They are also supported by a solid network of professionals: farmers and wine-growers (fifty-two wine-makers presenting as many great wines) for whom quality and authenticity are vital. The public quickly caught on to the idea, which has continued to develop around the Place Lamourguier and now includes a shop (“côté boutique”), restaurant (“côté table”) and bakery (“côté four”). There is even a “table d’hôte” which since 2008 offers cookery lessons (le club des Senscanailles).

Hidden inside a former twelfth-century oratory, is the Michelin-starred Table Saint-Crescent. Lionel Giraud, who did his apprenticeship at the Crillon and the Ritz offers an inventive and refined style of cooking, based on fresh farm produce. The young chef adapts his dishes according to the season. This guarantees that the ingredients are always top quality and he can offer gastronomic menus from 25€. Lionel’s partner, Marie, introduces gourmets to the pleasures of the local wines, including those of La Clape, to which she is particularly partial. While the menu changes every three months, certain signature dishes remain: the cube of foie gras from the Landes, celeriac purée with truffle, chicken stuffed with foie gras, quintessence of parmesan. For dessert, let yourself be tempted by a vacherin of wild strawberries with basil ice cream. A delight for your taste buds.

Menu 25€ to 80€.
