Can anyone confirm that the Can Joaan restaurant on Pic Neolous, is what I would call the 'Log Cabin' retaurant, overlooking Spain???

If not, can you tell me where it is and how to get there? Thanks!

Don't know of any log cabin one Edwin. there is one in a stone mas on the right as you go uphill,well before the Neoulus. We've been a couple of times,but found it shut,though someone recently told me it was back in business again.

As far as I'm aware the only access is by turning left just before you get to Le Perthus,and heading uphill for many km,but there may be another access route further down the Alberes towards the coast.

about 1 or 1.5 km. down fron the TV transmitter ...... ( not very well covered on google earth / street view , for some reason but it places the sign in the correct place )

Thanks Paul! I'm going to have a look!!! My sister is over in a week or so and I want to take her to a restaaurant 'up high' somewhere and this may fit the bill!!

After the stroll round the Plan d'eau, we went for luch at Can Joan having seen this thread earlier. This is the place to go if you are hungry!

The 25 euro menu is now 26 euros but hey who is counting. Unless you have starved yourself or been working the fields from dawn to dusk I don't think you can finish this meal. The jugs of vin doux you have for aperitif reappear full and chilled with the dessert. It's a shame someone has to drive!

Plat de charcuterie

Plat de viande (Changement tous les jours) ( We had one of each wild boar casserole, and slices of roast veal in gravy containing carrots and wild mushrooms)

Grillade d'agneau avec
