    The camembert and cheese croquettes were lukewarm, almost cold. This used to be (La Commerce) a beautiful and lovely place; unfortunately, it is now a "bar" where you have to order at the counter, pay instantly, and are given a pager to pick up your snacks yourself. We had reserved for 2 adults and 1 child of 1, and still had to explicitly ask for a high chair upon arrival. This place used to be packed, but now there were few people and little atmosphere. Except for the DJ who turned on his laptop without checking his volume and almost sent us (and our little child) to the hospital with his 200 decibels. He couldn't even manage an apology. Faded glory, really a shame for such a beautiful setting.

    Zero service, since there isn't any. They don't even wash the tables when they clear them. Expensive for what it is, a mixed platter for €35 for four people, but limited for two! To get bread, you need a pager! What a joke! And to top it all off, the toilets had a bloodstain on the tiles, completely dried, and must have been old—disgusting! Having come here in previous years, we won't be back.

    5 / 5 Reviews posted by yoannlef (Paris, France) on 04/08/2024

    The place that Mirepoix was missing to have a drink and enjoy tapas with family or friends. The terrace is shaded and refreshing after a day under the Ariège sun.
