A year and a half in the making, beleaguered with delays… the long-awaited indoor markets in the centre of Perpignan are finally open for business.
We love publishing your reviews. They’re honest (mostly!) objective, (hopefully) unrelated to advertising (bien sûr!) and cover a wide range of tastes, prices, and places. You might not always agree, the chef might be having a bad day, your standards might be higher….or lower – but they give you an idea of what’s available.
Mas Cristine Open Day on 9th December is a chance to taste all our wines, accompanied by some snacks from the best restaurants and food producers in the region, all in a festive atmosphere.

The Tasty – a typical English breakfast sausage, great for a brunch
The Traditional – sausages like they used to be with a subtle mix of herbs and a hint of nutmeg
Cumberland – our speciality having trained in Cumbria.
Leek – no small crumbs of leek, we use great big bits
Jalapeno – mexican chillis for the strong of heart!
We are now taking orders for the traditional Xmas cakes we produce each year for Téléthon.
Here’s a new take on an almond dish. Adding cinnamon gives a warming and comforting feeling whilst eating them. If you’d like them hot add 1/2 to 1 teaspoon of chilli powder.
Take care with boiling sugar. The use of a rolling pin in the final stage allows lots of opportunities for kitchen humour!
