Grand Café le Pontié sur Albi

07/12/2025: A very pleasant restaurant, excellent food, and phenomenal service. Excellent value for money. We had been there two years ago, returned, and couldn't have made a better choice.

26/10/2025: Polite but unenthusiastic welcome and service. I declined a table offered in the middle of a noisy, crowded room and asked to eat on the terrace because the weather was nice (and the restaurant is called the Parvis...). I was seated on a pretty back terrace, but "against the door," even though the terrace was empty and it would have been entirely possible to have a table overlooking the cathedral (at the front or back of the restaurant). The server seemed so tired from the season that I didn't dare ask for another table. The meal was decent, even if the scallop shell and chocolate mousse weren't homemade. The lamb chop and fries were really very good, generous, well-prepared, and of good quality. The glass of rosé was too expensive for the quality. It's a shame; it wouldn't have taken much to make it good. As a regular in the area during my travels, there is a wide selection of restaurants in the cathedral area; I won't be returning to this one.
