Auberge des Gabares - Cahors

I visited most of the last 10 summers and I did it again this year. identical format but the owners have changed. menu now defined but wine not included. rather pleasant but without the character he had with the previous owners. food was generally good but seemed to be a reduced choice, especially in desserts, and no soup input. We chose the main fish and were confronted with a bowl of potato purée. apparently with cod and garlic in purée but nothing else. No vegetables or salad. quite tasty but not really enough or good value for money. disappointing.

Very pleasant and romantic place next to the lot river and the cathedral. It looks like a place in the last scene of the disney ratatouille film. all dishes were excellent, including meals, that children usually do not eat. I really had the feeling that we enjoyed a typical French cuisine made home. there is only one point to improve - we met three people of staff. - first of all was a very sweet young woman, she did everything to make our stay really enjoyable. - the very nice was a moment, where the chief came to ask us about quality and wish us a "good appetite". - unfortunately, we didn't have a very good feeling of owner – a certain feeling of "you must be pressed" and "don't bother me with your indecisions" was present during our statement – perhaps, it was just our feeling, but it a little bit upset our excellent feeling of this very beautiful place.

I've been in this restaurant for several years and I love the atmosphere. Where can you find a good French cuisine at lunchtime, with an exquisite French spirit and goodhommie? You need a good sense of humor and a strong self-esteem to appreciate the boss, who is a "mass" character; You love it or hate it instantly. I will see people: most customers are visibly confused and shocked by the way the owner seems to treat people, with fear and admiration when they realize the number of customers who return regularly. Don't go if you're a sour cat, you have to sit down and enjoy. Oh, and the food is good too!

Over the past 12 years, we have been here a few times. Although you can never describe it as a gastronomic experience, the food is authentically rustic French, the setting on the shaded terrace of the 1st floor overlooking the lot river is very pleasant and the entertaining boss, alain, largely compensates the flaws. I read the strange critic referring to a mediocre service, but in fact, for a husband and wife team, it is very effective and the more you advance in your meal, the more fun it is. This is not an appropriate place for too serious people, but we have taken several friends/relations over the years and they all enjoyed it. Today, we had my young nephew with us and he was impressed by the way the service was provided, with many accidents, cries and detonations, and by the way the customers were treated, with a mix of excessive familiarity and discontent. We had the fixed menu, a very tasty duck paste followed by a tasty veal and pasta stew, cheese, delicious school-type puds, wine at will and coffee, all for about 20 € per person. See where you can improve this before moaning.

Delicious authentic and simple cuisine. excellent value for money in a beautiful setting. Simple well-made food needs nothing to look at.
