    • Located on the banks of the Tarn River in the heart of Albi, La Vermicellerie restaurant offers an exceptional culinary experience in a historic setting . Housed in a former 18th-century watermill, now part of the Mercure Albi Bastides hotel, this restaurant elegantly blends tradition and modernity.


      Chef Guylain Carre offers regional cuisine that showcases the flavors of the Tarn region. The dishes, made with fresh, local produce, reflect the authenticity of Occitan gastronomy.


      The restaurant's dining room, with its typical red brick walls, offers a warm and friendly atmosphere. In fine weather, the panoramic terrace offers lunch or dinner with a breathtaking view of the episcopal city and the Sainte-Cécile Cathedral, a UNESCO World Heritage Site.


      La Vermicellerie is open year-round, Monday to Friday from 12 p.m. to 2 p.m. and from 7 p.m. to 10 p.m., and on weekends from 7 p.m. to 10 p.m. Menus range from €25 to €39, with a daily lunch menu at €21. The restaurant accepts a variety of payment methods, including credit cards, checks, cash, and meal vouchers.


      In 2024, La Vermicellerie reconnected with its past by relaunching the artisanal production of Albi vermicelli , in collaboration with local flour mills. This pasta, free of additives, is available for takeaway, demonstrating the restaurant's commitment to a local and responsible approach.


      Easily accessible, the restaurant is less than a 10-minute walk from Albi Madeleine train station and close to several bus stops. It also has parking spaces, including two reserved for people with disabilities.


      For an authentic culinary experience in a historic setting, La Vermicellerie in Albi is a must-visit.

    A very beautiful hotel in an ideal location, with views of the Tarn River and the cathedral from the room. A big thank you to Gregory last night at 11 pm for the professional and kind welcome, and thank you to Julien this morning for the check-out.

    My stay at the Mercure Albi was a mixed bag. While the view is undeniably the hotel's strongest point, its overall quality has its limitations. Indeed, a glaring lack of maintenance is evident from the moment you arrive in the parking lot (overgrown weeds, deteriorated asphalt, damaged walls), although the semi-secure parking with barriers and a room access pass is a definite plus. The hallways also show signs of wear and tear, even though a renovation seems imminent. In the rooms, for a four-star hotel, the lack of thoughtful touches (empty refrigerator), the presence of plastic cups, the shower curtain, and the absence of a safe are somewhat disappointing. Adjusting the air conditioning is difficult, even risky, and condensation appears on the windows. Adding to the problem is the door's closure: it doesn't latch automatically, requiring a firm slam to ensure it's shut, which creates an avoidable noise. As for nighttime comfort, the soundproofing is inadequate: noise from the neighbors travels directly through a utility duct, while the bathroom mirror's nightlight is too bright, bathing the room in an annoying glow. Finally, the lack of Chromecast is worth noting, even though the Philips TV's Ambilight system offers a real visual advantage. While these technical shortcomings are undeniable, the bar's charm, the quality of the restaurant, and the friendly staff help to offset these shortcomings and make the overall experience less negative.
