"Open on a Sunday. Popular with locals. Good service but there seemed to be some friction between the staff. Not directed at the customers. Good wholesome food. Had to sit inside which was a bit too warm. Outside was fully taken, it's clearly popular. Decent, honest food, freshly prepared and lots of bread available to mop up the lovely sauces. A vegetarian option or two would be helpful, but the chef was willing to adapt a regular dish to suit my daughters needs"

"After reading Paul Jenkins' testimony, we booked 2 days in advance, but it was something else entirely... The garden is abandoned and there are a lot of mosquitoes. We were not entitled to garden furniture with cushions (it was occupied by regulars , but to Formica kitchen chairs. There was a problem with the reservations and there were more of us than expected. Finally we took refuge inside and it was nicer. The menu : Mussels and cockles dressed with oil and pepper: OK Fried anchovies: OK Grilled shrimp: absent. Huge tomatoes in oil: OK Black rice with a few vague pieces of squid and sausages (20 min wait . For dessert, flan with burnt and bitter caramel. Melon/peach salad: absent We paid 115€ for 2 (with a bottle of Spanish rosé and it was way too expensive!"

"The Auberge is on the T junction from the national road from Perpignan to Genoa, just after Les Thermes and about 5 miles before Pertus and the Spanish border.Easy parking around the place.The restaurant/bar is full of 'bits' odd chairs. sofas, vacuum cleaners, flasks, old nic nacs everywhere. A highly individual restaurant, with a couple of indoor rooms and the main room which is more like an extensive terrace, where there is a small stage for the regular music bands.My brother and I plus respective wives went for supper. A small board of bread and toast with garlic cloves, pureed green olives, and a curry puree were presented when we sat down, and we choose a couple of grilled cod, an entrecote and a gambas. I broke the habit of a life time and had the cod.The auberge is known for its fish, normally grilled, or available with sauces. The cod can also be served gratin with potatoes and done in the oven. However the plain grilled , with a parsley/olive oil dressing on the side was really nice, even though I am not a fish person.My wife had 5 massive gambas (excellent) and brother had the steak, and he reported that it was 'fit for service'. His wife had the other cod, also grilled.Now we come to the quirky bit. The meals are 'Platos Combinados' and come with a mixed salad complete with a jumbo radish, a slice of manchego, cold cauliflower, a mixed red onion/red pepper combination, half a baked potato and a slice of pineapple - which was part of my 5 a month.This was was followed by the usual tartes tatin and ice cream, a glass with a couple of boules, and a chocolate molleux which was up to snuff.The meal was washed down with a 1L pichet of red wine possible pressed earlier in the day at a quite remarkable price of 2€ and a glass of rosé. All in all it was an experience and throughly enjoyable. Definitely worth stopping at if you are passing and especially enjoy fish.The owner and staff are very friendly and match the decor! All a bit quirky and great."

"we had taken my mother in the law, recently bereaved (as in the did we were for a intended four-day break in the region languedoc rousillon in france, very close to where we all live. the trip promised to be a catastrophe because the first hotel we had marked ohr could not. to occupy a space in the ground floor, yet it had one elevator reasonable enough, as it was an old building. looking for a hotel that was not fully booked in september was difficult. a hotel with decent facilities for disabled almost impossible, although after 4 hours we found a beautiful one. at the end of two days we were exhausted by the search and lifting a heavy wheelchair in and out of the car and decided that we did not get any use of the break. we drove to house in catalunya. halfway up to the D900 hill from le boulou to the Spanish border, we met the **** of this usual waiting queue of traffic, which often makes this beautiful trip so unpleasant. we made ourselves around the corner (legally!) and I made for the ride of a hotel/restaurant, which fortunately I had discovered a minute earlier. it led to le mas de les cluses where the lunch should be served on Sunday. there is only one choice on Sunday, but what a choice is it! they take their table in a pretty room with views of the garden on one side, and on the other the valley, with views over the trees to the emblematic canigó mountain. the first cursor is a buffet that takes up the entire next room, with tables with expensive seafood, cold meat, various salads with their dressings, and so on. the second cure consisted of a choice of cod with parmesan and chorizo carp dips, or cooked by lamb. then, on the return to the next room, they found a boat of fresh obstsalat, ile flotante, chocolate mousse, terrace series and regional cheese. all this for 27 € including tax. we were thrilled to find a bottle of domaine montana from bunyols dels aspres to go with our meal as this village was the last (and very charming place where we had stopped for a coffee on the place after the decision to shorten our vacation. the quality of the food and the standard of the kitchen were very high. the service was helpful and pleasant. the environment is unbeatable. we can't talk for the hotel because we weren't there at this occasion. I don't think it's as if you were taking people with a disability. the restaurant, happy, did, but only by the thief of the driving mother in law about a wide of grass to the rear entrance. we are glad that we have to do this. it is a charming place where we will return."
