Vertigo in Foix: a gourmet stop at the foot of the ramparts

Seasonal cuisine

At Vertigo, the menu pays homage to the cycles of nature and the quality of fresh produce. The cuisine, resolutely traditional yet contemporary, is offered through two set menus that guarantee excellent value. For those who prefer more flexibility, an à la carte selection allows you to discover generous and expertly prepared dishes.

With sharing being the current trend, the restaurant also offers appetizers designed to be enjoyed together, transforming the beginning of the meal into a playful moment of conviviality. Each dish reflects a commitment to " good food," where the taste of the raw ingredients remains the chef's priority. From mid-May to the end of October, when the weather is fine, the terrace becomes the perfect spot to savor these dishes while enjoying the gentle atmosphere of Foix's town center.

An exceptional wine cellar to showcase the local terroir

The other pillar of Vertigo is its remarkable wine cellar. Wine enthusiasts will be delighted by the extensive selection, carefully chosen by the team. The wine list features wines from Ariège winemakers, while also boldly exploring hidden gems discovered throughout France.

This role of restaurateur-wine merchant allows for the creation of subtle food and wine pairings, where each glass perfectly complements the dish. Whether for a quick lunch after visiting the castle or for a more intimate dinner, this expertise adds undeniable value to the experience. Building on this strong identity, Le Vertigo confirms its position as a favorite destination for those seeking a distinctive dining experience in the heart of the Ariège region.
