"Endroit très sympathique! Hôte accueillant et très agréable. Ambiance calme et décontractée avec des expos temporaires (peinture, photo). Les crêpes sont bonnes, recettes originales avec des ingrédients frais et de qualité! Prix très abordables! Crêpe citron pour le dessert, ou le goûter ou même sans raison valable... ma préférée!J'y retournerai à chacune de mes visites! Je recommande vivement pour déjeuner, gouter, diner ou juste pour la gourmandise!"

"Our second night in Albi and two restaurants we wanted to visit in the evening were closed. We decided to venture to a small local Vietnamese restaurant that received only 11 reviews but all very good and from French visitors. We arrived early and we're the only customers but received a friendly greeting in French with little English but a willingness to work with our very limited language skill. We decided on the fixed price menu at 17Euros a person. My husband had the shrimp salad, the beef with onions and peppers with rice all very fresh tasting and the salad had wonderful and crunchy ingredients in a lightly creamed dressing. I chose the beef and nem...a lovely dish with ginger spiced noodle, small slices of perfectly tender beef and two small fried rolls stuffed with finely shredded veggies and meat. My main dish was the shrimp (crevettes) Thailandaise a most delicious combination of crisp onion, cabbage, and a fantastic spiced cream sauce. I was told it was spicy but without the final dash of hot sauce it had just the right amount of zip. Both of us had the banana flambé to finish. This was just the right amount of food...not so much food that it could be shared. The cost including a lovely bottle of Gaillac Rouge was about 47 Euros. We feel this was a wonderful and very pleasant dinner and well worth the price. Thanks again to Evean our waitress and her parents the chefs!"

"Service was a bit slow 3hrs for 3 courses & no coffee... But meal was good, foie gras was great, black pudding parcels were fab. Filet mignon was cooked perfectly, duck breast was cooked well but not sure why both were served on skewers (which are always a nightmare to get the meat off without elbowing your dining partner or knocking over your wine!) and a huge bowl of potatoes?!? Chocolate fondant was tasty but didn't melt in the middle, banoffee was a success but the banana split was a bit disappointing - with just half a banana."

"Correct, classic but unintense tastes. Correct Asian Nems, well hot or too much. Lemon chicken quite average, not roasted enough, as boiled, not the most appropriate pieces. Riz Cantonese disappointing. For the menu, you have to look for photos from customers in Google, not very readable and not necessarily up to date. Phone welcome to improve (no response then voice mail very often)."

"This was our last day in France (for this year) and we spent a day in Albi. I asked at the hotel a quiet restaurant with no tourists and good french food. They told us to go to La Viguiere d'Alby. Although Albi in the evening is very quiet town anyway, we were not convinced by the restaurant entrance if this was going to be a good place or not. If we had left, we would have made the biggest mistake ever. We spent 55 Euros in total (including the wine) and the food was excellent, so good that by London's standards, the way the food was cooked, presented and served it would be considered the top end of a dining out. I had a started and main, my partner starter, main and dessert. The starters were a mixed of meat from the region for him, and the same but also with foie for me. My partner is not so keen on to much meat on a plate. He left the plate cleaned. So I did. We had trout (myself) and cod (him) with delicate sauces and very nice sides. Than he got dessert, half an apple cooked, with a open layer of pastry, like a flower with the petal open. Just incredible, the look of it and the taste, a dessert where so many things can go wrong was perfectly cooked. Also the lady serving us, was very sweet, she made the night even more special. we liked it so much so that we are looking for weekend in Albi just to go to this restaurant once again."
