    • Mauvaise Herbe, a restaurant that will surprise your taste buds in the Tarn

      Passionate about wildflowers and aromatic plants, Étienne opened his restaurant Mauvaise Herbe in May 2024, eager to share his love of nature. He and his wife Maria have chosen to settle in the heart of the charming village of Le Verdier, just 15 minutes from Gaillac, to delight diners from Tuesday to Saturday at lunchtime, as well as on Friday and Saturday evenings. Don't hesitate to book your table.


      Mauvaise Herbe, local cuisine to enjoy in the Tarn region

      As you might have guessed, Étienne and his team love to embellish their dishes with edible flowers, wild shoots, and aromatic herbs. Rest assured, these aren't the only ingredients on their plates! Talented and creative, they are constantly seeking innovation, crisscrossing the region to work with fresh, local, and seasonal produce, depending on availability and their inspiration. Quality meats, vegetables from local farmers, and country bread from Verdier or Vieux— local sourcing is at the heart of their cuisine. At lunchtime, a set menu is offered, with dishes that change daily, which you can pair with a glass of natural or organic wine —hidden gems discovered in the heart of French regions or abroad. On Friday evenings, snacks take center stage with fish and chips, burgers, mussels and fries, and curries, while on Saturday evenings, Étienne offers a special menu.


      Bad Seed, events not to be missed in the Tarn

      You'll love the warm and friendly atmosphere that invites you to relax and have a good time. A true hub of activity and culinary delights, Mauvaise Herbe is also a vibrant restaurant that regularly hosts themed evenings, summer barbecues, lively events for the Fête de la Musique (World Music Day), and fun-filled Saturdays like Oktoberfest in the fall. Keep an eye on social media so you don't miss any events! Whether with family, friends, your sweetheart, or colleagues, Mauvaise Herbe will quickly become your go-to spot.

    Last-minute booking. The welcome was exceptional; the starter, main course, and dessert were all outstanding surprises. The young man who served us explained all the dishes and wines perfectly. The quality of the local produce was evident; the chef clearly loves his work, and it shows in the food. And the wine was excellent.

    Very disappointed with this restaurant where I dined last night. This is the second time I have been there. A rather bland Japanese dish. I did not enjoy it at all, just like the other people who...
