The story
On the rue Saint-Louis in the heart of Carcassonne, Comte Roger is the domain of chef Pierre Mesa. After more than 35 years working with the finest local ingredients in his own kitchen, Mesa now also offers a line of pantry products that extend the restaurant’s experience into the home. This is modern cuisine rooted in the Languedoc terroir.
The restaurant’s signature is its cassoulet, made from an original recipe and an ancestral method. Beyond the cassoulet, Mesa’s pantry includes extra virgin olive oil, country pâtés, honey from the Rucher de Riquette, and a selection of red, white, and rosé wines. These products are available for order, a practical way to take a taste of Carcassonne home.
Comte Roger’s commitment to quality has earned it a Michelin recommendation for 2026. For those seeking a genuine taste of the region in a setting that values tradition and precision, this is a place to know. The restaurant offers dinner, outdoor seating, and can accommodate private parties. Vegetarian options are available, and takeaway is possible.
