Le Silex - Tautavel

Very high quality ingredients, impressive wine selection with great expertise on weeps from the region. these people do it well. the drive from tuchan is spectacular, but that drive after darkness was quite hairy. self-esteem: next time to lunch.

Very nice food, very nice service, very tasty wines .... and for dessert I had fondant au chocolat with rosemary ice-cream! Wow!!!! Loved every bite

Firstly, at €19.90 for a 3-course lunch (without wine) in France this is excellent value. Wines have a standard €6 markup in what they say is the price from the producer, which is very reasonable. In Spain (where wine is included) I would have been...less happy with the value. The ambience is a bit scruffy nothing stylish nor alternatively quaint boxes everywhere; untidy. We stood around for an age waiting to be seated while a single couple was being served. So we sat ourselves down and were promptly redirected to another table. Menu arrived promptly and then another long wait before the food and wine orders were taken. Another long wait (still only 1 other couple) for the wine to arrive. From then on everything went smoothly. For the price the dishes were inventive non-standard (as opposed to many in rural Catalunya), and all were well cooked and presented. If you focus only on food quality and nothing on service and ambience, Silex is top notch.

We came here to the busy lunchtime. we had to wait a long time before our order was taken. waitress was super nice and friendly and explained everything very well. the children took children's menu and they were very happy with their lunch (beed and pommes,...and ice cream). we grow up have the menu with a starter and pornstar. eating was fresh and good, it was probably the best tuna I've ever eaten. Although we had to wait a bit, it was so delicious and it was worth waiting for it.

We were two people and we arrived at 0:40pm and the food got served at 2:10pm. We could not stand to wait so long. One of the dish was veal saute with mushrooms but the meat was hardly hot and well cooked, and there was...almost no mushrooms. The second dish was porc rib but way to salty. The wine was delicious. Overall we had to pay 86 euros ! I let you judge, overall they service is not constant and they use their reputation so think twice before you get in ! There were only one person serving all the customers, unbelievable and only one cook chef. Plus d'une heure d'attente, un saute de veau aux champignons froid et presque sans champignons, des travers de porc caramelises bien trop sales, difficile a manger. Le vin etait delicieux mais a part cela ce restaurant n'offre pas un service haut de gamme constant, ils profitent de leur reputation. Manque de personnel ! Pensez deux fois avant de vous y aventurez !
