My builder recommended this restaurant one dark and stormy night when everything seemed closed for the season. My wife and I turned off the D908 at Poujol sur Orb and drove through the torrential rain for what seemed like forever up a narrow twisting mountain road that he told us led to the village of Combes. Finally we arrived at the Auberge (don't worry, you can't miss it) and sat down to one of the most memorable meals I've ever had in my life. The restaurant is one of several owned by an association of chefs dedicated to using locally sourced ingredients. The food is delicious and beautifully presented and the wine list is extensive and reasonable, specialising in Languedocian producers. There is a stunning view from the terrace and from the big table by the picture window. If you're up to it, go for the menu gastronomique - then you can roll all the way back down the road to Poujol sur Orb. Alex and Sally Norton Olargues

I concur completely with the review above. We were surprised to find so good a restaurant so far off the beaten track. The food is inventive and delicious, and the huge windows overlooking the Orb valley below are equally memorable. Definately worth the drive.
