Restaurant Les Ecluses, Salleles d'Aude, Aude

"I was interested to revisit this restaurant after the previous owners had made such a success of it. The interior is as problematical as it always was (why can't they do something with ugly wood beams, and the hanging cartwheel lights? - cover them up, remove them? - get rid of them and the ambiance of the restaurant would be improved greatly). With attentive service the meal was presented well. There was a touch of a chef who knew what he was doing - but I fealt he was fighting between traditional presentation and something more interesting. The variety was interesting but it seemed that there was not an understanding how different foods need to be cherished, pushed where possible to the limit, and not to over do all the little items that seem to be thrown like confetti over the plate. Feeling is I will go back and perhaps catch the chef when he's on a roll and not looking over his shoulder." an old review in 2006!
