    • Le Refuge, a mountain restaurant open all year round in Castres

      Here's a Castres address your palate won't forget! Located at 15 Quai du Carras on the banks of the Agout River, Le Refuge restaurant is a gourmet spot where people love to gather, and especially enjoy themselves. Savoyard recipes in winter give way to grilled dishes in summer, offering you pure moments of pleasure all year round. Remember to book!


      Homemade cuisine to enjoy without moderation at the Refuge in Castres

      The restaurant is aptly named, as the Refuge is a haven of indulgence . A lover of good produce and proud of his region, Alexandre is happy to offer you mountain specialties alongside simpler dishes on a varied menu to satisfy all appetites and desires.

      In winter, local cheese and charcuterie take pride of place, including fondues (the truffle one is to die for), raclettes, tartiflettes, and more. Generous recipes that deliciously warm the taste buds.

      In summer, the plancha and brazier are out for enjoying grilled food on the terrace, as well as salads, tartines, and melon-ham sandwiches, perfect for refreshing the palate. Don't worry, fondues are still on the menu for cheese lovers!

      Don't wait any longer to book, the restaurant is open all year round!


      The Refuge, a superb mountain and friendly atmosphere

      We come for the food, but also for the family atmosphere in this warm restaurant that gives the impression of being at home. With its wooden tables covered with tablecloths, its large mountain landscape painting, the skis and ski poles hanging on the wall, the Refuge offers a real mountain chalet decoration . Sit down and enjoy a good time with family, lovers or friends, the service is as warm as the food. Enjoy!

    First experience and I loved it. I loved everything about the decor, the "Les Bronzés font du ski" style, the mountain chalet. The waitress was quick, efficient, empathetic, and gave very good advice. Even for the prices, it was great! We had a Savoyard fondue for 20 euros and its charcuterie for 5 euros with a large free welcome salad, and it was extremely generous! It was impossible to order dessert! The incomparable taste of the chef's recipe, who was there to check that everything was okay but wouldn't give us his recipe. Fresh, quality produce, you can feel it. Divine enchantment! I highly recommend it. For me, a must-see in Castres.

    My son, his partner, and I had a wonderful evening, and we thoroughly enjoyed ourselves. We sincerely thank the young waitress, who was particularly attentive to our needs and allowed us to change tables so we could enjoy, among other things, the fondue bourguignonne we had requested. The Savoyard fondues were excellent, accompanied by generous charcuterie offerings. And let's not forget the delicious chocolate fondue. We highly recommend it.
