Traditional Catalan & French Cuisine
Casa Sansa Perpignan Restaurant Review
3 Rue des Fabriqués Couvertes, 66000 Perpignan
One of the oldest eateries in town, Casa Sansa has been serving authentic Catalan fare since the 19th century. Tucked away on a narrow street in the old quarter, it exudes rustic charm with tiled floors and vintage posters making you feel like you’ve stepped back in time.
For starters, try their escalivada – smoky grilled vegetables drizzled in olive oil – or the hearty boles de picolat, savory meatballs cooked in a rich tomato sauce with olives and pan con tomate (tomato-rubbed bread) with serrano ham.
When it comes to mains, Casa Sansa shines with some Catalan classics like civet de lotte (monkfish stew) arrives in a fragrant sauce of wine, tomatoes, and herbs and a succulent roast lamb shoulder marinated with rosemary and garlic.
La Carmagnole Perpignan Restaurant Review
12 Rue de la Révolution Française, 66000 Perpignan
Tucked on a quiet side street, La Carmagnole is a traditional French bistro that has earned a loyal following thanks to its fantastic value, classic cooking, simple wooden tables and chalkboard menus. At lunchtime, it’s common to see this place buzzing with locals enjoying the prix-fixe 3 course menu for 20 euros.
Start with something like their pâté de campagne served with cornichons and crusty bread or a nice and hearty fish bisque soup depending on the season. For mains, they to bistro classics like braised beef in red wine, whole sea bass prepared with lemon, herbs and olive oil; or magret de canard cooked pink and paired with a reduction of Banyuls.
Brasserie Le Vauban Perpignan Restaurant Review
29 Quai Sébastien Vauban, 66000 Perpignan
Located on right on Quai Vauban canal a stone’s throw from Les Halles market, Le Vauban is a classic French brasserie open all day (though sadly not open on Sundays) and ideal for anything from a leisurely lunch to an apéritif or late dinner.
Starting with the Entrees, the French onion soup here comes gratinéed with a golden layer of cheese, and they do a very nice goat cheese salad tossed with honeyed walnuts and crisp lardons.
For mains, they do a good steak tartare mixed with capers, herbs and a kick of mustard, the entrecôte grille and fries are a good example of genre and their fillet of salmon with lemon-butter sauce is great for pescatarians.
Café Vienne Perpignan Review
3 Pl. François Arago, 66000 Perpignan
An institution in its own right, Café Vienne has been the emblematic brasserie of Perpignan since 1930 with its expansive covered terrace and classic Art Deco interior of polished wood and mirrored panels. Café Vienne really harks back to a bygone era of grand European cafés where artists, politicians and locals rubbed shoulders over coffee and pastis.
Here, you can practically feel the history as you sit under the distinctive red awnings, watching the world go by in the bustling square. Despite the laid-back café vibe, the kitchen at Café Vienne takes its brasserie menu seriously, serving solid French and Catalan dishes from noon until late at night, 7 days a week non-stop. This makes it a reliable choice whether you’re looking for a late lunch, an early dinner or anything in between, though I wouldn’t call any of the dishes amazing or life changing I also recommend lunch over dinner as somehow the dishes have been better at lunchtime than supper in my experience.
It's open on a Sunday unlike most restaurants so I’ve almost only gone on Sundays and it’s always very busy. They do all the classics and I often take guests there for the French brasserie experience. The moules-frites are a must: a generous pot of mussels cooked in marinière style (white wine, garlic, parsley) or with cream and herbs. The grilled entrecôte steak is also reliable and served with a classic béarnaise sauce or peppercorn sauce and potatoes sautéed in duck fat.
Modern & Creative French Cuisine
Le 17 Perpignan Restaurant Review
1 Rue Cité Bartissol, 66000 Perpignan
Le 17 is located right by the Cathedral and its patio actually shares the churches’ grounds. Known for its creative cuisine and seafood, it needs to advanced booking as it’s both popular and tiny.
The menu changes all the time and the lunch menu is very reasonable at around 30 euros and is fixed meaning that there is no choice – you get what you’re given!
For starters, you might fine zucchini velouté with goat cheese espuma, seared scallops with pea purée or grilled baby squid on a bed of Catalan-style sofrito sauce.
Mains at Le 17 are just good, such as fillet of turbot with seasonal vegetables and a a seafood foam, slow-cooked lamb shank with creamy polenta and roasted root vegetables or a juicy Iberian pork pluma accompanied by a tangy reduction.
La Galinette Perpignan Restaurant Review
23 Rue Jean Payra, 66000 Perpignan
For the ultimate gourmet experience in Perpignan, La Galinette holds a Michelin star in an elegant and understated dining room where the focus is entirely on the plate.
La Galinette sources a lot of its produce from its own two hectares of gardens and orchards for its tasting menu that evolves daily based on whatever is freshest from the chef’s garden and the local markets.
But, what you can expect is a parade of beautifully crafted small courses starting with delicate amuse-bouches that set the tone. Each course is plated like a work of art – expect edible flowers, colourful purees and attention to detail that engages all the senses.
Throughout the courses, vegetables often take centre stage in ways that are surprising and delightful. You might find a dish of beetroot roasted in a salt crust served with a tangy goat cheese foam and hazelnut crumble or a reinvented gazpacho.
Onto main courses, though all the plates are minimalist in style and are always part of tasting menu, such as red mullet paired with carrot-ginger purée and a drizzle of local olive oil or veal tenderloin grilled over vine cuttings for a hint of smoke matched with a jus reduction and Pyrenean mushrooms.
Grain de Sel Perpignan Restaurant Review
14 Rue de la Fusterie, 66000 Perpignan
Not far from Le 17 is Grain de Sel, an intimate restaurant with a cozy dining room and an open kitchen vibe. Starters include a tuna tartare with a citrus zest, asparagus flan or even a foie gras crème brûlée, which I’ve never seen before (and regretfully didn’t try).
For the main course, they do some upgraded versions of French classics such as the pan seared duck magret glazed in honey and spices alongside caramelized figs or peaches; a seared sea bass fillet on a bed of fennel confit and velvety cauliflower purée with a drizzle of vanilla-infused butter sauce; and roasted heirloom vegetables with goat cheese, pine nuts and a pesto drizzle.
L’Attablée Perpignan Restaurant Review
3 Rue Fabriqués d'en Nadals, 66000 Perpignan
L’Attablée probably has the most inventive tapas menu in Perpignan. With its exposed stone walls, eclectic mix of antique and modern furniture and a bar stacked high with French and Spanish wines, the menu is designed for sharing.
They are quite traditional when it comes to classics such as croquettes or patatas bravas, but do them very well. But, you’ll also find BBQ aubergines drizzled with tahini and pomegranate, blending Mediterranean and Middle Eastern notes, and other surprising dishes that you weren’t expecting.
La Famille Perpignan Restaurant Review
3 bis Rue François Marie Voltaire, 66000 Perpignan
A relative newcomer that’s quickly become a local favourite, La Famille is a friendly bistro-wine bar run by a passionate young duo, Eva and Alex, and it’s sometimes open on Sundays (sadly, most good restaurants choose to close on Sundays in Perpignan, which is a great shame). Tucked down a little lake, La Famille has a quirky bohemian interior with family photos on the wall and an open kitchen at the back.
For starters, I really liked their Asian-style barbecued aubergine with miso glaze and fried octopus with yuzu-paprika mayo, as well as the fresh lightly pickled sardine fillets with a dollop of rouille. Mains are very good too. I had the slow-cooked pork belly with an Asian-style sticky glaze and sesame seeds, but the roasted cauliflower drizzled in tahini look good.
Manat Perpignan Restaurant Review
3 Rue Cité Bartissol, 66000 Perpignan
Awarded a Bib Gourmand in the Michelin Guide 2024, Manat’s a refined yet unpretentious Asian fusion restaurant with a sleek interior of pale woods and an open counter where you can watch Chef Yuka Okugawa and his team meticulously plate each dish.
For starters, definitely try the miso-marinated local olives, which I’d never tried before. Among starters, the Mediterranean ceviche stands out with fresh sea bream cured in a yuzu-soy marinade and gazpacho blended with a dash of ginger and topped with tempura zucchini blossom.
Manat’s main dishes are similarly delicious and creative including roasted monkfish with miso-glazed eggplant, charred spring onions and a delicate ginger beurre blanc and the Catalan beef entrecôte gets a Japanese twist by being served with a side of ponzu dipping sauce and wasabi-infused mashed potatoes.
Baston Perpignan Restaurant Review
72 Av. Louis Torcatis, 66000 Perpignan
Perched along the banks of the river Têt, Baston is a hip restaurant, natural wine bar and sourdough pizzeria all rolled into one. The décor is industrial-chic, think concrete floors, metal stools and racks of wine bottles and Baston’s menu is similarly concise and seasonal championing local produce and inventive flavour combos.
It’s the kind of place where you can start with a glass of organic natural Catalan wine and a few small plates before digging into one of their wood-fired pizzas. I recommend the échine de cochon tonnato, which are slices of tender locally raised pork shoulder topped with a silky tuna-anchovy sauce.
Locals come for the long-fermented dough pizzas fired in a scorching oven and come out with a blistered, airy crust that’s both chewy and flavourful. One of the favourites I’m told is the Catalan sobrassada, with chorizo sausage paired with honey and mozzarella.
Le VIP Perpignan Restaurant Review
4 Rue Grande des Fabriqués, 66000 Perpignan
I’m not a fan of the restaurant’s name, but Le VIP is nevertheless a very nice addition to Perpignan’s restaurant scene particularly if you’re a meat-eater. A nice way to start is with their tempura prawns with sweet chilli and they also do a lovely goats cheese tart.
But, I would say people come here for the main courses. For sharing, I recommend the dry aged côte de bœuf served on a wooden board and perfectly seared and simply paired with potato wedges. The Catalan-style lamb shank is also very nice and braised until fall-off-the-bone tender in a sauce of tomatoes, red wine and herbs.
Asian Cuisine
Les Halles Vauban Perpignan Review
37-39 Quai Sébastien Vauban, 66000 Perpignan
“Why is the market in the Asian category?” I hear you say. Well, Les Halles is a bustling indoor food market and dining hall with no twenty little eateries under one roof including Thai and Japanese (along with South American, Lebanese, American and French Canadian amongst orders).
The atmosphere is lively and communal with long shared tables and a bar buzzing with conversation and clinking glasses. Strolling through Les Halles is half the fun. In one corner, there’s a fromagerie offering tastes of pungent Pyrénées cheeses; in another glistening oysters and prawns are on ice.
Craving Spanish tapas? Head to the stall grilling gambas al ajillo (garlic shrimp) and pulpo (octopus) and patatas bravas. In the mood for Italian? There’s a pasta counter where they flash-cook fresh tagliatelle and toss it in a creamy truffle sauce, as well as a pizzeria firing up thin-crust pizzas topped with prosciutto and rocket. Asian cuisines are well-represented too: a Thai stand does a pretty good green curry or pad Thai, while a Japanese eatery does rolls fresh sushi and sashimi platters to order.
Chez Noï Perpignan Restaurant Review
25 Rue Sébastien Vauban, 66000 Perpignan
Authentic Chinese food is very hard to find in France, so if you want to a Chinese restaurant where other Chinese go, then I would suggest Chez Noï.
It’s décor is simple and nondescript, which is normally a sign that that the food is good. They don’t need to try hard on décor because they serving Chinese dishes you won’t find elsewhere in Perpignan or elsewhere frankly.
I also like the fact that the menu is short as Chinese restaurants often have very long menus and so invariably a lot of the the food comes from frozen, but not at Chez Noï.
Start off with their jiaozi dumplings, which are excellent: delicate wheat dumplings stuffed with juicy pork and chives, steamed then lightly pan-fried for that perfect tender-crisp texture, served with a tangy soy-vinegar dipping sauce. Their Bang Bang chicken is also good. It’s a a classic Sichuan cold dish featuring shredded chicken dressed in a bold sesame-peanut sauce with chilli, crushed peanuts and coriander.
For main courses, I recommend their Vietnames Phô Tié, which are rice noodles in fragrant broth topped with tender slices of marinated beef, bean sprouts, basil and lime. If you like spicy heat, I suggest you try the Mapo Tofu with minced beef in a lively chili-bean sauce that tingles with Sichuan peppercorns served over steamed rice. Finally, they also do specials, so when I came in there were serving crispy pork belly with bok choy and ginger steamed fish.
Mabuhay Cuisine Perpignan Restaurant Review
5 Pl. André Grétry, 66000 Perpignan
Mabuhay means “long life” or “welcome” in Filipino, Mabuhay Cuisine is delightful restaurant, run by Filipino, Thess, who pours her hearts into a menu that’s truly a melting pot – much like the culinary heritage of the Philippines itself, which blends Spanish, Chinese, Malay, and American influences.
We tried a number of their starters and mains as it was our first time at a Philippine restaurant. To start, the Filipino spring rolls came out golden and crispy and filled with ground pork and vegetables and served with a sweet chili dipping sauce. Then, we tried kinilaw, often dubbed Filipino ceviche, which are fresh pieces of fish “cooked” in palm vinegar and citrus, then tossed with ginger, chili, and coconut milk.
Moving to mains, adobo, often considered the Philippines’ national dish, are chicken pieces braised in soy sauce, vinegar, garlic and black peppercorns until they are incredibly tender and deeply infused with flavour. The sauce is a rich umami bomb, fantastic spooned over the accompanying steamed rice.
Another must-try is their kare-kare, a slow-cooked oxtail and beef stew in a thick, velvety peanut sauce, which arrives in a clay pot brimming with fork-tender meat, eggplant, green beans and bok choy and is comfortingly rich and served with a side of bagoong (fermented shrimp paste) to stir in for a pop of salty contrast.
4 Miaou Perpignan Restaurant Review
37 Rue des Augustins, 66000 Perpignan
I completely missed 4 Miau as it’s tucked away on a side street, but a friend told me about it, and I’m very glad I found it because it offer a really nice range of Chinese, Taiwanese and Japanese – and it’s open on a Sunday, which is a bonus (restauranteurs – if you are reading this – please open on Sundays – you can close on Mondays and Tuesdays no problem!).
Starters-wise, the gyoza dumplings are classic and are handmade with a choice of either pork or shitake, carrot and leek served with a zingy soy-ginger dipping sauce. For a naughty dish, try the spicy Sichuan popcorn chicken coated in batter then tossed in a lip-tingling spice mix with chili, garlic and peppercorn.
Mains-wise, there’s a lot of nice dishes to choose from. I recommend the Taiwanese beef noodle soup in a rich, aromatic broth spiced with star anise, ginger and soy ladled over wheat noodles and topped with bok choy and pickled mustard greens. The katsudon is also very nice with panko-breaded pork cutlet served over rice with a runny egg and sweet-soy glaze exactly as you’d find in a Tokyo diner.
Kimchi Foodlab Perpignan Restaurant Review
Rue fabriques d'en Nadal, 66000, Perpignan
Kimchi Foodlab is a pan-Asian canteen by day and an experimental kitchen by night run by Coralie. At lunchtime, the vibe is casual and quick: you’ll find local office workers and students lining up for the Bento du Midi lunch box.
In the evenings (check which days they’re open), the Foodlab transforms into a more intimate dining experience with a tasting menu around 30€ that you enjoy seated on low tatami mats or communal tables and almost feels like a supper club.
The menu is a eclectic. For starters, you could be served a Vietnamese summer roll alongside a fiery Korean gochujang chicken wings.
A standout dish, obviously, is their kimchi, which they ferment themselves and is predictably spicy, sour and addictive. Another favourite is the bibimbap bowl, a Korean classic of warm rice topped with an assortment of sautéed vegetables, gochujang chili paste, a fried egg and your choice of bulgogi beef or tofu.
Gogui Perpignan Restaurant Review
2 Rue de la Fusterie, 66000 Perpignan
“Gogui” actually means “meat” in Korean and it does exactly what it says – Korean BBQ.
The concept is simple: thinly sliced meats arrive at your table for you to grill to your liking that’s perfect for groups or an unconventional date
For starters, try the kimchi, which is house-made and wonderfully pungent and the mandu, which are Korean dumplings filled with pork and vegetables. You’ll also be treated to an array of banchan, which are the little side dishes that come with Korean meals including marinated bean sprouts, sweet glazed potatoes, fish cake slices and of course more kimchi.
Now to the main event: the BBQ.
The menu offers various cuts of marinated beef, pork and chickens, which you toss onto the hot grill in front of you, then wrap them in lettuce leaf with a dab of ssamjang (savory chili-soy paste) and some grilled garlic. If you’re a fan of spice, go for the dak galbi – diced chicken thigh in a fiery gochujang marinade – which cooks up sticky and delicious on the grill.
Beyond BBQ, their bibimbap is a beautiful bowl of rice topped with colourful sautéed vegetables, a fried egg and sliced beef, served in a hot stone bowl so the rice gets crispy at the bottom. They also do a hearty kimchi jjigae stew loaded with pork, tofu, and aged kimchi, which arrives at your table bubbling hot.
Yori Izakaya Perpignan Restaurant Review
63 Av. Maréchal Leclerc, 66000 Perpignan
Modeled after a traditional Japanese izakaya, this fun and relaxed restaurant is filled with wooden interiors, lanterns and shelves stocked with sake. Kick off your meal with some classic starters: miso soup is offered as a light, umami-rich opener, and their house sunomono salad (cucumber and seaweed marinated in rice vinegar) cleanses the palate for what’s to come.
I didn’t try Yori Izakay’s sushi and sashimi, but plenty of diners were enjoying their maki rolls and I even spotted a Perpignan Roll, which features seared duck breast with avocado and a drizzle of teriyaki.
But, an izakaya experience is incomplete without yakitori skewers, grilled over charcoal to give that authentic smoky aroma. You can order tender chicken thigh skewers glazed with tare sauce, tsukune (chicken meatballs) with a sweet-savoury finish, and grilled pork belly.
I really like ramen, so chose their tonkotsu ramen, a rich pork-bone broth simmered for hours, resulting in a creamy and hearty soup loaded with noodles, chashu pork slices, soft-boiled marinated egg and spring onions.
Tokyo Menya Perpignan Restaurant Review
10 Rue Sébastien Vauban, 66000 Perpignan
Situated on a quiet street in Perpignan, this always-busy restaurant, Tokyo Menya, offers an authentic ramen bar experience true to its Japanese roots with Japanese details adorning the wall and a cozy intimate atmosphere.
I would say that that Ramen is the star of the show here and I like the fact that they offer just a handful of ramen varieties and a few appetizers, which helps maintain quality.
To start, try the gyoza dumplings or crispy fried chicken bites, a nice prelude to the main event. The Ramen itself arrives steaming with chewy noodles in a rich, flavourful broth. I chose the tonkotsu ramen with its creamy pork broth and tender chashu. Two thumbs up!
Minami Perpignan Restaurant Review
1 Rue Maximilien de Sully, 66000 Perpignan
Minami sits quietly near the canal a stone’s throw from the centre. The cosy dining room is tiny, only a handful of tables, with a minimalist formula, think woven bamboo lamps, sake bottles and Japanese knick‑knacks, and the welcome is warm and unhurried. It’s a peaceful hideaway that fills up quickly, so booking ahead is wise.
Don’t come expecting endless sushi rolls: Minami is about discovering real Japanese dishes, though we did started with a bowl of miso soup and a platter of sushi! Gyu no tataki (thinly sliced beef) arrived chilled and drizzled with ponzu and pairs very nicely with some sake. I also liked the Buta no Kakuni, which is slow-braised pork belly in a sweet soy sauce. The menu is really slimmed down, which I appreciate because it means they can focus on just doing a few dishes really well and this shines through with the quality of the dishes.
Indian, Middle Eastern & Greek Cuisine
Le Punjab Perpignan Restaurant Review
2 Av. du Palais des Expositions, 66000 Perpignan
Le Punjab is pretty much the only Indian restaurant in Perpignan and it’s got a fun Indian décor filled with traditional decor – think vibrant tapestries, carved wooden screens and Punjabi music – with the waiters in traditional Indian dress.
I have yet to find an authentic tasting Indian restaurant in France, though I hear that there are some good ones in Paris, but it’s still very tasty. I particularly like their fresh naan bread. None of the dishes are very spicy, so I would ask for them to be hot (though they probably still won’t be very spicy).
The menu here covers the classics of North Indian cuisine, executed faithfully and generously. Start off with a plate of samosas, served with mint chutney and tamarind sauce; another favourite is marinated chicken tikka cooked in the tandoor oven to a slight char with a squeeze of lemon.
Their specialty is tandoori mix grill including tandoori chicken leg, seekh kebab (minced lamb sausage seasoned with chilli, coriander and cumin) and prawn tandoori, which comes out on a hot iron plate still smoking from the oven and is perfect to share.
The butter chicken here is a crowd-pleaser, but I chose the lamb vindaloo, which had a nice tangy spiciness, as well as the palak paneer and chana masala (chickpeas in a tomato-onion gravy) with garam masala, ginger and garlic.
New Delhi Perpignan Restaurant Review
18 Av. Général de Gaulle, 66000 Perpignan
Founded in 2010, this Indian-Pakistani restaurant is a true family-run venture and looks like a classic curry house with an aroma of spices and vibrant decor. I’m a huge fan of Indian food, so we tried quite a few dishes on the menu and was very pleasantly surprised by the spiciness (you can ask for different levels of spice).
Starter-wise, we began with a round of samosas, which arrived piping hot and golden, filled with delicately spiced potatoes and peas, and come with tangy mint and tamarind chutneys. We also tried the chicken tikka, tender bites of chicken marinated in yogurt and spices, that were grilled in the tandoor so they’re lightly charred and smoky on the outside yet juicy inside. Very tasty!
Moving on to mains, New Delhi offers all the classic curries including butter chicken and chicken tikka masala as well as biryani. Their naans are homemade and just right. I chose to have the Thali, which had a nice selection of daal, vegetable curry, chicken tikka and sauces. All in all, I think this is Perpignan’s best Indian restaurant because it’s got the most authentic flavours and spiciness.
L’Hibiscus Perpignan Restaurant Review
11 Rue Maximilien de Sully, 66000 Perpignan
For a taste of the Middle East in Perpignan, L’Hibiscus is a very good choice. It’s very casual and the chef-owner is very friendly and passionate. Start your journey with a selection of mezze. The hummus here is superb with just the right balance of lemon, tahini, and garlic, drizzled with olive oil and a sprinkle of paprika. It also comes with baba ganoush and tabbouleh Lebanese style along with really nice falafel served hot with a drizzle of tahini sauce – all served with really great flatbread.
I didn’t try these, but I saw others eating fatayer, which are little baked Lebanese pastries filled with spinach, onion, and sumac or kofta meatballs spiced with parsley and cinnamon.
For mains, the grill takes centre stage. The mixed grill platter gives you a bit of everything: tender shish taouk (marinated chicken skewers with lemon and garlic), kofta kebab (minced lamb with onions and parsley, shaped into logs and grilled), and lahm meshwi (succulent cubes of lamb). They’re served with fluffy rice and grilled tomatoes and peppers, plus extra garlic sauce on the side.
L’Hibou Bistro Grec Perpignan Restaurant Review
4 Rue Jacques Manuel, 66000 Perpignan
I think, but I’m not sure, that L’Hibou Bistro Grec is Perpignan’s first Greek restaurant? It’s part Greek taverna, part modern bistro and offers all the Greek classics.
To start your Greek adventure, I had some of their Greek Mezze including homemade and frehs tzatziki at L’Hibou served with pitta bread brushed with olive oil, dolmades (leaves stuffed with herbed rice and lemon zest) and saganaki pan-seared cheese.
For main courses, they do a very nice moussaka with layers of aubergine, potatoes and minced beef and lamb all under a fluffy blanket of béchamel sauce. If you’re in the mood for something lighter, try the grilled octopus, which is finished on the grill for a bit of char and served on a bed of fava bean purée with capers and Greek olive oil. Finally, the grilled pork souvlaki is marinated in olive oil, lemon, and oregano; and the juicy paidakia (grilled lamb chops) are fantastic and seasoned simply with rosemary and lemon.
