Good food is available in Lourdes, although you do have to look for it. The dining options are broken into 4 broad categories:

Cafés - All the Caf�s around the town provide reasonable inexpensive food, concentrating on the standard snacks of pizzas, croques monsieur & madame and sandwiches. Many also offer larger meals, with duck, steaks and chicken regularly on the menu. For good food close to St Joseph's Gate, try the Caf� au Roi Albert, on the Pont Vieux, the Little Flower Caf� on the Rue de la Reine Astrid or the New Orleans Caf� on Rue Sainte-Marie.

Hotel restaurants - Many of the hotels around the town have restaurants available to non-residents, both on a fixed-menu and a la carte basis. Enquire at the Reception desk or view the menu boards outside the hotel. Meal times in most hotels are fixed, as the majority of guests stay on a full-board basis, with lunch at midday and dinner at 7pm.

Local restaurants - There are not many local restaurants in the tourist area of Lourdes, but there are some in the town itself. The closest ones to the Domaine are:

Pizza da Marco - on the Rue de la Grotte, at the top of the hill. A standard Italian pizzeria, with good food but erratic service, especially when busy.

Restaurant Alexandra - on the Rue de Fort, off the Rue de la Grotte. This small family-run restaurant specialises in local delicacies, and has an intimate atmosphere.

Brasserie de la Grotte - on the the Rue de la Grotte, part of the four-star Hotel de la Grotte. A good brasserie with a pleasant atmosphere, dishes are excellent, but expensive.

Restaurants outside the town - If you have transport, it's worth your while travelling outside the town itself to eat, as several restaurants in the locality are excellent. In the small village of Bartrès, there are two recommended restaurants, the Restaurant Au Bon Accueil and La Petite Bergère. Both are family-run and specialise in good food from the local region. This sleepy village is a ten-minute drive from Lourdes and also has associations with St Bernadette.
