🏰 Plunging into the Heart of the Middle Ages: La Taverne Au Chat Carti, a Medieval Gem in Grasse

Tucked away in the historic alleys of Grasse, the world's perfume capital, lies a place out of time: La Taverne Au Chat Carti. Here, white tablecloths are traded for solid wooden benches, classic plates for rustic platters, and modern recipes for feasts of yesteryear. Prepare for a sensory journey... towards the Middle Ages!

🐱 A Name that Intrigue and an Ambiance that Captivates

From the moment you enter, the atmosphere envelops you: stone walls, flickering candles, costumed servers, ancient music... Every detail seems straight out of a 12th-century castle. The very name of the tavern, "Au Chat Carti," evokes mystery and originality. It always elicits the same reaction: a curious smile, followed by a "but why this name?" — a good excuse to start a conversation with the tavern keeper, passionate about history and always delighted to share the anecdotes of the house.

🍖 A Feast Worthy of Knights

In the kitchen, they don't joke around with tradition. Here, no frozen dishes or standardized menus. The menu offers dishes inspired by medieval recipes: large roasted hams, meat pies, soups with ancient spices, aged cheeses, rustic breads, and even hypocras — a spiced wine typical of the era.

Vegetarians are not forgotten either: seasonal soups, spelt galettes, and old-fashioned roasted vegetables honor local products.

🍷 An Immersive Experience

The Tavern is not just a restaurant: it's an immersive experience. Some evenings, storytellers, troubadours, or musicians come to animate the hall, transporting guests to another century. Themed evenings, such as royal banquets or verbal jousts, spice up the experience.

And for those who want to go further, it's even possible to wear a medieval costume for dinner — a great way to take beautiful souvenir photos!
