Cook'n Roll - Sallèles-d'Aude

Genial. Wonderful experience and delighted food in a very cosy surrounding. Servei excel. lent. I highly recommend it. If you cook this way in a small cuisine you deserve my respect. A must! Tornarem. Merci per tot.

Had heard about this when we had been passing on our boat previously and so pleased to be able to go this trip. It’s a unique experience, a meal that will not be forgotten in a very special garden setting, simple, imaginative food cooked well...with passion for what they do, a very friendly welcome makes it a perfect evening.

You wouldn’t know about this little restaurant unless someone told you or you read it here. Salèlles-d’Aude is a little sleepy village along the bucolic Canal de la Robine, a southerly branch of France’s famous Canal du Midi. Cook n’ Roll is a crazy little...eatery hidden away down a leafy lane and featuring an old Citroën van serving as its garden table setting hatchery. It is a simply magnifique and utterly bohemian setting for some fine rustic fare. There might not be much to choose from on the changing menu, but that hardly matters as it is bound to be good. On our particular dining night there were exactly two starters, two mains and one dessert. Starters consisted of tuna ceviche and chicken style style salad. Mains were duck breast in a totally enticing sauce and tuna with tagliatelle on a green bean bed. Dessert was creamy vanilla tart. Wine is sold by the carafe or the bottle and feature some of the local product. If the food alone was simple merveilleux, then the setting was incroyable. Simple metallic chairs an tabled scattered in among a few trees in what amounts to a back garden. You can dine inside, but why bother. Run by three well-travelled and dedicated connoisseurs of cuisine, Jean-Marie, Arian and Milo this shy little gem invites you to linger. Reservations are absolutely necessary and perhaps a good map. Otherwise, walk minutes south along the canal track (west side) from the main bridge to find Cook n’ Roll and look for the little side path. You will be utterly enchanted.
