A two star Michelin lunch experience

Lunch at La Table de Franck Putelat at Le Parc in Carcassonne, France. 


A slick, suave experience with impressive food and slightly snotty service. I was the guest of a winery, so will focus here on the good experience. 


Chef Putelat has held two Michelin stars since 2012 and although he was not in evidence the kitchen still delivered. 


Almost full on a Wednesday out of peak season. A positive sign. Many guests were no doubt drawn by the excellent-value €40 lunch deal including a glas of wine - but we went the Full Monty. 


A couple of inventive amuse bouche offerings; followed by olive oil with foccacia; then a boullaibausse with duck foie gras, mussels, clams and saffron followed by a wonderfully moist and fresh piece of John Dory served with chewy sea snails, potatoes and parsnips. 


Coffee came with a delightful, and colourful, selection of bite-sized sweet things. 


The set menu offers formidable value even allowing for some slightly shoddy service and an impossibly complicated system to access the wifi. 


Alert, too, for Anglophones: do not be surprised to see dogs sitting at the owners' table.
