Le Gardy sur Arques

Excellent meal! Pleasant welcome! If you're passing through, I recommend stopping by; everything is homemade!

In the heart of the Aveyron region, near the lakes of Lévézou and Pont de Salars, this small hotel has everything going for it, but we only tried the food, and it was flawless. The restaurant was normally closed that late August evening, but since there were six of us, the lovely owner kindly agreed to welcome us. Whether it was the puff pastry with snails in garlic cream, the salad with duck breast and stuffed neck, the Roquefort and walnut parfait, or the vegetable spaghetti with mussels and chives as a starter, or the lamb sweetbreads, Aubrac trout fillets with beurre blanc, veal steaks with porcini mushroom sauce, stuffed potatoes and baby vegetables, the duck confit, the grilled duck breast, or the chicken in sauce with small pasta shells for the children's menu, everything was perfect. This was followed by a cheese plate with three cheeses, then chocolate profiteroles with peach soup and a crispy topping, or perhaps apricot tarte tatin with vanilla ice cream… a succession of refined, delicious, and generous dishes that everyone thoroughly enjoyed. We can't thank Virginie enough for welcoming us on this closing night, and the best way to show our appreciation is to return and sing the praises of this excellent restaurant. The service provided by her son was also top-notch and very friendly. Thank you to him as well. In short, we highly recommend it. If you're in the area, come and enjoy the delicious cuisine at Le Gardy; you'll have a truly enchanting experience!

Lunch today, as usual, every time I visit, a top-notch meal, home-style cooking, truly homemade, a must-try!

Very clean rooms, excellent meals, and a very warm welcome. High-quality products and everything is homemade. Excellent value for money. We only stayed one night, but we'll remember it; the owner is super friendly and takes the time to chat, thank you.

Nice room with air-conditioning. Out of the way. We stopped for only one night on out trip through Europe. Everything was fine. A bit of miscommunication due to language barrier (French only). All in all we had decent sleep. Thank you.

A truly wonderful experience at this small hotel in Aveyron. The location is ideal, close to the lake and numerous activities, allowing you to fully enjoy the region. But what truly made this stay exceptional was the welcome. The lady who runs the hotel is incredibly kind, always attentive and caring. You can feel her genuine desire to please and make your stay as pleasant as possible. The kind of service you wish you could find more often! The breakfast is also perfect, generous, and a delightful way to start the day. We had an excellent stay and we recommend this hotel without hesitation. A big thank you for the exceptional welcome and wonderful hospitality! 😊

A fantastic restaurant, a superb meal, and incredibly kind and welcoming people. 😍👍

Excellent food, quality ingredients, refined cuisine. Very friendly staff. Affordable prices.

Restaurant with great food, delicious dishes...we thoroughly enjoyed it!!! The waitress was very energetic. However, the dining room needs refreshing and better soundproofing.

As my first visit was so wonderful, I came back and it's just as good. Wow, took me back to my early years of travelling France. Big packed dining room, 4 course menu du jour which was really good. Oh and excellent, reasonably priced wine list. The Gaillac rouge is to die for!🙂 Highly recommended!
