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

      Passionate about wild flowers and aromatic plants, Étienne opens his restaurant Mauvaise Herbe in May 2024 with the desire to share his love for nature. It is in the heart of the charming village Le Verdier, 15 minutes from Gaillac, that he decides to settle down with his wife Maria to delight your taste buds from Tuesday to Saturday lunchtime , as well as Friday and Saturday evening . Book your table without hesitation.


      Mauvaise Herbe, a local cuisine to taste in the Tarn

      As you will have understood, Étienne likes to enhance his dishes with edible flowers, wild shoots and aromatic herbs. Rest assured, these are not the only ingredients on his plates! Talented and creative, he is constantly looking for innovation, crisscrossing the region to work with fresh, local and seasonal products depending on availability and his inspirations. Quality meats, vegetables from local market gardeners and peasant bread from Verdier or Vieux, the short circuit is at the heart of his cuisine. At lunchtime, a unique menu is offered, dishes that change every day that you can accompany with a glass of natural or organic wine, little wine gems unearthed in the heart of the French regions or abroad. On Friday evening , snacking is in the spotlight between fish & chips, burgers, mussels and fries and curries, while on Saturday evening, Étienne takes you on a journey with world cuisine.

    Visited the restaurant today at lunchtime, received a warm welcome from the server, who throughout the meal proved to be an excellent ambassador for a cuisine full of flavors, prepared primarily with fresh, seasonal produce, which gives it exceptional quality. From starter to dessert, we were surprised by one surprise after another, both visually and taste-wise. Each dish was excellently explained with passion. The wine was exceptional and regional. The price was very affordable given the quality of the produce and the welcome. I'm also delighted to see young people so passionate about their work... We can only wish them every success and encourage them to persevere in this path that suits them so well. We would love to find this kind of place in Perpignan. We'll be back, that's for sure!!!

    ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ A real favorite ❤️! Here, there's no classic menu, but a unique surprise lunch menu. Each dish is a discovery, prepared with ultra-local products: beer, bread, fruits, vegetables... everything comes from the surrounding area. It couldn't be more authentic and delicious. 🍅🥖🍺 Please note: this isn't a "fast" restaurant, but a culinary experience where you take the time to savor. Perfect for those who want to experience an incredible, different, and memorable moment. 🌿✨

    A wonderful experience, so much so that we dined there twice during our stay in the Tarn. Talented, welcoming team. Perfect food and wine pairing. The dishes are original, beautifully presented and very tasty, all with excellent value for money.
