l'Auberge du Vieux Puits sur Fontjoncouse

A wonderful and enjoyable evening celebrating my birthday. We savored everything from the aperitifs to the petit fours, and the cassoulet for breakfast 🥵 Thank you so much!

Gilles Goujon's restaurant is a must-try! And what's more, he and his staff are very friendly!

A sublime meal and experience, an incredible presentation, and surprisingly pleasant service. I highly recommend it; you can go without hesitation.

In Fontjoncouse, in the heart of the Corbières region, the Auberge du Vieux Puits offers exquisitely precise cuisine, presented through a coherent and expertly executed succession of dishes. At the helm is Gilles Goujon, assisted by his son Enzo and his best friend Paul. The cooking is perfect, the seasonings precise, and the flavor combinations always inspired. We won't describe the dishes in detail, out of respect for those who will have the pleasure of discovering the menu for themselves. The cheese trolley, showcasing the restaurant's meticulous aging process, is a highlight of the meal. The desserts, created by Axel (who recently opened his own chocolate shop), demonstrate the transmission of family expertise. The wine pairings, guided by an attentive sommelier, highlight the region's finest vintages and are perfectly complemented by each course. The rooms are on par with the rest of the establishment, and the breakfast deserves special mention: homemade pastries, local charcuterie and cheeses, cassoulet, and a pâté en croûte created by a world champion of the discipline. In the service, Monsieur Vincent and his team—attentive and unpretentious, without a hint of stiffness—complete an experience that fully justifies this establishment's recognition among the best restaurants in France and the world. The benchmark in Languedoc, and far beyond—with a €290 starter menu, probably one of the best value-for-money three-Michelin-starred restaurants in France. It's beautiful, it's delicious, it's Goujon! A huge thank you to the entire family for allowing us to enjoy this exceptional gastronomic experience.

So many emotions ❤️ Thank you to Marie Christine and Gilles Goujon who keep this great establishment alive, one of the best in the world. It's the pinnacle of global excellence, immersing you in culinary delights, and all thanks to the excellence of everyone involved, from the humblest to the most renowned, thanks to Gilles and his team, and now to his sons Enzo and Axel. It's a true joy to have sons who share the same passion. Thanks to Marie Christine and the entire reception team, thanks to Vincent and Claudio and the whole front-of-house team, not forgetting the passionate sommelier, who take care of you to make this an exceptional moment full of emotion, pleasure, and happiness. At Fontjoncousse, they overcome life's challenges, emerge even stronger, and offer you magical moments. Isn't life beautiful? We love you all ❤️❤️❤️

A suspended moment, somewhere between gastrostomy, culinary poetry, gustatory theater, and an opera of flavors, all in a fabulous setting. Thank you to the chef and his team for this wonderful moment.

29 years of loyalty, and for good reason! Exceptional cuisine, constantly evolving. The latest example is this dish evoking the great fires of the Corbières region in 2025: "blackened" vegetables sprinkled with "ashes"—moving and delicious. Thank you, Chef Mimi Alain.

A three-Michelin-starred restaurant never disappoints with its cuisine. And here, everything is absolutely perfect in terms of taste. But what truly sets it apart from other establishments is the service and the presentation: Each dish has a story, an experience, a unique presentation that further enhances the quality of the ingredients. As for the service, the balance between French perfection and the warmth and smile of the South is as perfect as Chef Goujon's cuisine. Extraordinary.

An exceptional moment It all began with a warm welcome. The room was simply sublime, with superbly designed furniture and all the little surprises, from a basket of fresh fruit and small cookies to a divine lemon cake and a little basket with towels and flip-flops for the pool... Then, a visit to the chocolate shop was a delightful surprise. After a relaxing afternoon by the pool, we headed to the restaurant. And there, it was an extraordinary evening; everything was exceptional. The waiters, in addition to being funny, were extremely kind and made us feel very comfortable, and the sommelier was very professional. As for Chef Gilles Goujon's cuisine, it was truly masterful; I don't even have words to describe it. It was a divine evening for our taste buds. Mr. Gilles Goujon even took the time to chat with his guests. What a pleasure it was to exchange a few words with this great man, full of admirable values ​​and such simplicity. The Auberge du Vieux Puits perfectly reflects his character. We will definitely return. Our only regret is not having come sooner.

We stayed at the hotel in the Coquelicot room, dined at Gilles Goujon's wonderful restaurant, and had breakfast there. Everything was perfect! What an incredible experience! The welcome, the service, and the friendliness of the waiters were wonderful, and the dishes were so refined and beautifully presented. Thank you for this perfect weekend celebrating my husband's 40th birthday.
