Some dishes are made for winter, and cassoulet is one of them.
A true French classic, our Cassoulet Toulousain is prepared in the traditional Toulouse style with pork belly, duck confit and pork sausage. Rich, slow-cooked and deeply comforting, it’s the kind of meal that invites you to settle in and savour every bite.

Our confit duck leg is served with pomme pavé, baby carrots, vegetable brunoise and a rich diable sauce. Comforting, full of flavour, and made for lingering winter lunches.
For the perfect pairing, enjoy it with a glass of Glenelly Estate Reserve 2018. Its dark fruit, subtle spice and smooth, dry finish make it a wonderful match for the richness of the duck.
