LE GRAND CAFÉ

Très beau cadre au beau milieu de la place principale de limoux, l'ambiance est sympa, la serveuse discrète, très gentille et efficace. J'ai choisi une pizza limousine et je me suis régalée. Elle était bien garnie, cuite comme il faut. C'est pas la première fois que j'y vais mais certainement pas la dernière non plus. Je recommande ce restaurant.

Very disappointing yesterday. Beware the summer season and Mondays at the Grand Cafe.

I have eaten here many times before. The last time was in May 2025 and it was very good. Yesterday was terrible. The sun was shining and it was a Monday. Other places were closed to the cafe was full, very busy with people being constantly turned away. Suggestion.....put a sign up saying "complet" to save embrassons loads of people arriving, seeing empty tables, browsing the menu, then being told sharply to go away.

The worst thing was the utter rudeness and attitude of the staff. From our arrival, when we were ignored repeatedly by staff, and then the head waiter accused us of not having booked (I booked through the Google reserve app). We were for some reason not allowed to speak French and the same head waiter constantly spoke to us in English and treated us disrespectfully. Again, at the end, constantly ignored when trying to pay. So embarrassing for me, as I had brought my parents with me and promised a great lunch.

Very slow service. It took 55 minutes for our starters to arrive.

Food quality very concerning. The menu was different to last time and seemed more basic and touristy. I had the pork which was just two slabs of overcooked pork and a little basket of soggy chips. I had to order a side salad to lucen it up. My partner's little chips basket with her steak tartare had a piece of tomato sauce wrapper in it. What does that mean? Well either they were left over chips maybe topped up or the basket hadn't been cleaned since last use. Terrible. But she was just too embarrassed to start a complaint after well over an hour before main course. My parents had large salads of basic salads that just had deep fried additives. The Veggie planche had a veggie burger cut in to four, and a pastry thing cust in to four. Too processed, but the tapenade and the capers were nice.

All in all, awful, extremely disappointing. Only the lovely sunshine, and the Limoux square and the mass of people made me feel I was somewhere nice.

Toilets and cafe decor are exceptional. Hopefully, next time ago it will be back to how it used to be with the staff either replaced or retrained.

Profiter d'une terrasse au calme, d'un service rapide et gentillesse, rien à redire.
Mention spéciale à Léo qui a été de très bon conseils.

Heel goed ontvangen in het Vlaams! Speciaal voor ons brood als ontbijt gegeten. We kwamen terug voor middagmaal. Driegangenmenu aan 20 € . Heel lekker en verrassend. Geen klassieke keuken. Grote hoeveelheid. We zouden enkel voor dit restaurant durven terugkomen.

Nous avons pris un excellent déjeuner dominical ici aujourd'hui. Tout était cuit à la perfection et le service était un excellent. Merci
