Le Grand Cafe - Castres

We went for a sunday lunch sat outside waited a long time. glasses were dirty and kir served in a tumbler not a wine glass should have left then. duck looked very dodgy and not very nice, service very slow even after the rush ...still waited a very long time between courses. Waste of money and very disappointed compared to some of the french resturants we have tried ....the worsed and the most expensive ...poor quality and poor service.

I visited the cafe on a public holiday. There weren't many people there; evenso we had to sit there a long time before anyone noticed us. The patron told us we couldn't eat there because he already had too many people eating there. At the same moment a waitress arrived with a menu and said it would be fine. He pulled his face and walked off. The food is relatively cheap but the meat was virtually uncooked and the house wine really cheap and nasty, only fit to drink with mixed with water.

We visited Brassac whilst on a mini tour of the Haute Languedoc national park are. Brassac is a delightfull liitle town on a river with the mountains as a backdrop. The only cafe open was the Grand Cafe near the bridge. The food choice was poor, the few locals were tucking into almost raw duck, the blood coming out put me of the quite indifferent omlette with frozen mcdonald type chips. The service was charmless, we felt we were intruding,. I reccomend visiting the area which is very scenic but find somewhere else to eat.
