We had been recommended to eat here by some people we met in Montpellier. About a 25 minute drive north, It's situated next to the Mayor's office in the quaint village of Aniane and it's well worth the effort of finding!We entered the restaurant, which is rather similar to entering a cave,and as we wandered through on a chilly evening, there was a roaring log fire burning, we immediately felt a glow.Goats cheese salad was amazing, almost too pretty to eat! Followed by veal kidneys in a wine, mustard & cream sauce served in a vol-au-vent, just fabulous. A chocolate dessert left me wanting more it was so divine (and I don't usually "do" puds). My husband's Coquilles, duck & apple sauce & lemon...
We have visited the Languedoc, and especially the Herault Valley, for many years now, and whilst the weather is nearly always as good as Provence, and the wine, particularly around Montpeyroux and their domains, is the best we know, the food can often be variable at best - it's almost an afterthought given the quality of their wines. Strange then that one of the best restaurants we have found in the area is run by a Welsh couple who have been here many years and do great French food but with a twist. Today was our second visit of this year's holiday and the Fois Gras starter was superb, whilst my wife"s scallops and mussels Gratin just as good. The main course of baby duck breasts with red b...
We stumbled across this little restaurant as we had miss-planned our timings due to a long drive between destinations. It was almost closing time and the restaurant was empty, but it looked sweet and had a few outside tables surrounded by flower and herb boxes! They kindly agreed to serve us. We had a super meal, we both ordered a chicken salad, but it was beautifully prepared and presented. It was not ‘just’ a salad, there were various tastes included that made it quite special. We had some Rose and enjoyed a conversation with the owners who were English, and felt lucky to have discovered it! Coffee was ordered and accompanied by some extra sweet treats, which was a nice touch. A little mor...
As we live in Aniane we have over the years been dining here at the L' Affenage on a regular basis. during the winter months there is a great open log fire to make a great atmosphere lunchtime and evening, summer is good too, although not enough space for full terrace dining as it is situated on a narrow cobbled street right in front of the Mairie. good all round cooking and good selection wines; salads and puddings are Ira's speciality and my favorites!

This is a really lovely restaurant where the chef knows exactly what he's doing!About twice the average price for this area of France, The food is lovingly prepared and beautifully presented. Although we speak French well it was nice to be served by a lady who turned out to be Welsh and of course spoke excellent English!We had a nice table right by the log fire and had a thoroughly good evening. I highly recommend it.
Run by an english couple for 14 years. Title means where aninmals go to eat. Main course comes with salad which has many different bits on one plate. Chicken very good but not cheap. Other fixed menus available. Welcoming and cave like interior not to everyone`s taste. Small so may need to book. Limited opening - closed sunday night, Monday and Tuesday.
We had dinner here once whilst staying in aniane. The hosts are absolutely lovely and the food we had was excellent. I've dined in a few Michelin starred restaurants in the UK and the food here would compare very favourably. Definitely recommended.
If there is a resraunt to visit this is it. The hosts who are a very friendly and helpful welsh couple do French food excellent. I highly recommend the ducks leg, absolute perfection. 3 course al a carte for €25 very well priced.

We ate here twice during our short stay in Aniane. Both dinners were outstanding, salmon, steak with delicious desserts. We'll be back! The owners were friendly, spoke English, and provided food and site tips.
The food was excellent! The owners are very friendly providing excellent service and food and wine. The dessert Marquis of chocolate was to die for.
