Le Vertigo - Foix

Friendly and attentive service, outstanding meal, reasonable prices. Full of locals. Be ready to use a little French :

The waiter was outstanding. The restaurant was full and he was alone. Still we had no complaints about the service or the food. Good kitchen. The locals eat here.

Great food, very French, lovely service and good selection of wines. Will have to come back next time we’re visiting Foix.

Very pleasant helpful staff but the food varied from very good to awful! We went twice obviously the first experience was so good but on the second visit my husband’s entree dish was a disaster! Virtually inedible. It was obviously something the chef was experimenting with. It sounded OK cauliflower with mascarpone and crevettes but the actual dish was anything but OK. Such a pity because up until then our opinion of this restaurant was very positive! Most of the dishes being served to adjoining tables on both visits looked wonderful. Overall our opinion would be to say that this place is well worth a visit. It just proves that a review is dependent on what you experience on one visit!

Having been disappointed by many restaurants in the region lately, I was delighted by my lunch here. I had a tournedos de canard topped by fois gras, accompanied by real pommes frites fried in duck fat (which they highlight). This restaurant has a higher price point than most of its neighboring competitors, but is full of more affluent locals who know good cooking. Despite its modern atmosphere and design, the restaurant cooks in a way that reminds me of the old days (e.g. 1970 's) when excellent cuisine seemed much more prevalent in France.
