No vegan cassoulet :(

When we arrived we discovered they didn't have vegan cassoulet anymore. Furthermore, they had run out of vegan hot dogs, so the only vegan item were the ravioli (which by default have parmesan cheese so they are not really vegan as they are). We had them as part of the vegan menu, which cost 27€ and included a salad, the pasta and a dessert, but no drink included.
Overall, the food was good but the service was slow and we were a bit disappointed that we couldn't try the cassoulet...
Nevertheless it is mostly the only vegan "friendly" place inside Carcassonne.

Pros: Tasty food, Labelled vegan options

Cons: Expensive, Slow service, Limited vegan options

Good, but pricey and slow

The menu was different than the ones featured in Happy Cow. It only had one vegan option for lunch which really was the Vegetarian option but without parmesan (fun fact, parmesan cheese is not in fact vegetarian).

We had a veggie carpaccio (very fresh), ravioli with truffle (scarce but excellent) and a quite decent panna cotta for dessert. Problem is we arrived at 13:00 and until 14:00 we didn't start eating. It was on the more expensive side but it was good overall and there is no other option inside the citadel.

Excellent all round

I’d have given it 5 stars if it had been all-vegan. Great location (in the main square of La Cité), really attentive waitress, and fabulous vegan options. #Veganuary

Vegan 3 course menu

Healthy and delicious french vegan menu. Visited in June 2022. We stopped here on the way to the airport. Lovely setting in the walled city, in a gorgeous tree filled courtyard in the back of the restaurant that was very cool on the hot day. Our party all ordered the vegan 3 course menu. The food was tasty and we'll presented. The caramelized pineapple carpaccio for dessert with raspberry sorbet was out of this world.

A vegan haven

I was so relieved to find this place to eat with my family while on holiday. There are several vegan main dishes and I had a vegan crumble for pudding.

Pros: Several vegan options

Great little find

The staff are really friendly and the little restaurant is tucked away in the centre of Carcasonne Cite with a lovey rear patio area with plenty of shade. We only had the vegan burger but was fabulous and there were other options including a vegan set menu. Hopefully more vegan and vege options can be added.

Lecker und freundlich

Bei unseren Besuch in Carcassone waren wir bei Le Cachotier. Wir hatten den veganen Burger, der mit einem kleine Salat und sehr leckeren Fritten mit einer passenden Sauce (vermutlich Ajvar) serviert wurde. Alles hat hervorragend geschmeckt, und der Service war sehr freundlich. Aus Zeitgründen haben in wir es bei der Hauptspeise belassen, wobei das vegane Menü sich auch sehr gut anhörte.

Pros: Klar als vegan gekennzeichnete Speisen, Geschmack, Preis-Leistungsverhältnis

Le seul restaurant de la Cité avec un menu vegan digne de ce nom.

Menu vegan avec choix de 2 entrées, 3 plats et 2 desserts.
L'entrée était excellente avec de nombreux condiments.
Ensuite le fevoulet (cassoulet avec fèves au lieu des haricots).
Le patio est très agréable et loin des terrasses bondées de la cité.

Great vegan and vegetarian options

We found only a limited option of restaurants in the walled part of the town. But Cachotier was wonderful. Mid-priced with plenty of options. Their homemade chips/French fries were great

They have a vegan menu!

When generally there are almost no vegan options in this area, to find a place that had a vegan menu was such a lovely surprise. We went for two courses and everything was delicious. One of us had the soya burger and the other the parmentier (cottage pie). For dessert we had the crumble with sorbet and the grilled pineapple. The staff were friendly, there was a nice atmosphere and the food was great. A brilliant find.

Pros: Separate vegan menu, Delicious food, Friendly staff

Amazing 3-course vegan menu

This was one of the only places we could find in Carcassonne cité with a full vegan menu and it did not disappoint. There were two options for starter and dessert, three for the main, including a traditional cassoulet or a Parmentier. The food was very good and there is a beautiful shaded courtyard to sit in when the weather is good.

Pros: Full vegan prix fixé menu, Several vegan options for each course, Beautiful location

Finally some classic food

The most struggling I’m fighting as vegan is to find “classic” food veganized, we’ve got more than enough burger, pizza and so on, but traditional food, no matter the country or the city : it’s difficult to find.
Le Cachotier is one of this golden place where you can find a vegan version of traditional French food, even more : traditional cassoulet!!
I’m so happy to tell you that even tho the restaurant is not fully vegan, I’ve heard at least one person per table order vegan food 🥰

Vegan cassoulet

It was nice to be able to try one of the traditional dishes of the region that is typically far from vegan. This was warm, hearty, and delicious and I definitely recommend for all. Also well priced

Incroyablement bon👌

Le resto offre un menu complet vegan, pour adulte et pour enfant. L'entrée de tartare de tomates est très élaboré et délicieux. Nous avons pris un cassoulet vegan en plat principal et nous nous sommes régalés.puis nous avons terminé avec un crumble qui était tout autant savoureux. 5🌟 pour le menu vegan. Il y a plusieurs options aussi dans le menu vegan tant pour les entrées, plat et dessert

Pros: Incroyablement délicieux, menu vegan complet, Prix très raisonnable pour quantité , Chaise haute pour bébé

Cons: Besoin de réserver pour le midi, Pas de table à langer pour bébé au chaud

Muy recomendable

Hemos cenado en este restaurante y lo recomendamos al 100%. Por su localización pensábamos que sería el típico restaurante para turistas con poca calidad y para nada ha sido así. Tienen un menú vegano con opción de pedir plato postre/entrante por 18€ O menú completo por 21 ( bebidas a parte). Nosotros pedimos hamburguesa vegetal con patatas y parmentier vegano con ensalada. La ensalada estaba espectacular, sencilla pero muy elaborada. De postre hemos pedido carpaccio de piña con sorbete de frutos rojos y estaba buenísimo. Repetiriamos sin duda. Adamás, el personal encantador.

Pros: Opción es veganas, Comida elaborada, Personal encantador

Cons: Cierra muy pronto la cocina (21:30)

Heavenly food

We had the Parmentier végan - onion and chestnut confit with mashed potatoes, and apple and blueberry crumble with berry ice cream. It was truly delicious. I highly recommend it.

Magical Atmosphere 🌳& Delicious Dishes 🍲

First of all, we were sitting in the back porch, surrounded by plants 🌱 and the atmosphere was absolutely magical ✨
The staff was incredibly friendly and accommodating even though the restaurant was literally a 100% full!
The service was amazing, a bit slow due to the many people (which is absolutely understandable), but still remarkable.
All of the dishes we chose were deliciously earthy, cozy and filling 😍 (the Vegan Parmentier was so realistically meaty I had to double check it was plant based 🙈).

It's located in the old city if Carcassonne 🏰, so it's perfect if you plan on visiting it! It's sooooo worth it! Go give it a go 😉

Having said that...BOOK IN ADVANCE! We were so lucky to be able to eat there: there was just one table left (and only because we were the first to arrive there 😂).

Pros: Many Vegan Options , Super Friendly Staff & Amazing Atmosphere , Perfect Quality-Quantity-Price Ratio
