Restaurant Review In France

During the early of November, I went to France with my school trip. It is a compulsory trip for all the bachelor degree final year and final semester student for the School of Hospitality, Tourism and Culinary Arts. It was a 10 days trip exclude travelling from Malaysia to France. The school has decided for us to visit Paris and Toulouse. The purpose of the trip is to learn about the culture of France and visited the historic place and to explore about the culinary experience in France. It is very different with Malaysia culinary.  On the 4^th day of the trip, we went to Carcassone. It is a French city in the south of France famous for its medieval fortification and architecture. It is very popular with tourists who are awed by its castle, cobbled streets, ramparts. Pinted turrets and towers. The city is also famous for its role in the Cathat crusades when it was a stronghold of Occitan Cathars. During the visit to Carcassone, my friend and me decided to dine in to a restaurant. Restaurant L’ostal Des Troubadours.

As you can see from the board, this restaurant is famous for the grills cooked over their open wood fire and also they are famous for their cassoulet. During we had our meal, there was live band sing by the french guy. They were singing the french song, we don't understand the song but we enjoy it. In the restaurant they build in the open wood fire stove. The restaurant do use the stove to grill the food and keep the restaurant warm during the winter season. The restaurant didn't use the table cloth and they use the disposable table cloth, it is more convenient and more hygienic.

 The a la carte menu has a large variety of food and the price of the food is worth to pay if you don't convert it back to ringgit malaysia. The restaurant do have few set menu which is the price from 18 euro for 3 course meal 21 euro for 4 course meal and 25 euro for 5 course meal. The signature dish is bean cassoulet, it contain butter bean, pork meat, pork lard and pork sausage.
