Le Xixeme Siecle - Foix

I have been here many times and the food is always tasty and simple. Very good value and in the summer there is a terrace over the Ariege. Local business people seem to populate and that is always a good sign.

The restaurant is situatied adjacent to the river in Foix and has traditional decor not unlike a Parisian cafe. The 3 course Menu du Jour is around 14 euros and offers a very good choice for each course. There are various other menu options and A La Carte if required. The food is very good and with excellent size portions. The staff are friendly happy to serve and smiling somewhat a bonus in France on occasions). The restaurant is only open at lunch times Mon Fri and is very popular with local business people if you are in the area do visit you will not be disappointed.

Given some of the quite positive reviews we had read on Tripadvisor, we were quite disappointed by the food in this restaurant. Very average and quite pricey for what it was. Would not return.

In the middle of the tourist season, we were very welcome and placed on the terrace despite the fact that we had not reserved. Inside, we serve a simple and perfectly mastered kitchen and impeccable service. A very good time before we embark on the assault of the magnificent castle of Foix.

Never disappointed! Value for money single and efficient exceptional service. Bravo!
