Cuisineries Gourmandes des Provinces Français

Menus lunchtime 18E, 39E and 56E plus á la carte

My absolute favourite restaurant both at lunchtime and in the evening. This is the one my family request coming to whenever they stay!

Take a lovely drive through the countryside, down to the Dordogne river, cross to Pessac, west of St. Foy le Grande, right through village, - this restaurant is signed on right as you climb up the hill.

A rustic style chalet with 2 rooms overlooking the Dordogne river and valley. A large terrace is opened on sunny days featuring an orientation table, you can guess where you are staying from there.

The cuisine is a gourmand mix of special products and wonderful sauces, served with great attention and enthusiasm.

All meals start with an amuses bouches – an appetiser from the Chef whilst you savour the menu, Specialities goose and duck foie gras, sturgeon, lamproie (eels).

The quality of both paté, terrines, soup, meat and sea food is superb . Everything is produced by Chef Michel who is passionate about his art and the selection of products chosen for their authenticity and flavour. He is quite happy to discuss his recipes with you!

A marvellous choice of desserts is guaranteed to “douceur vos papilles” - sweeten your tastebuds!!! And how.

The wine list is an album containing labels and descriptions of 150 Bordeaux and local wines – help is at hand should you need it.

This is a must for sampling some of the best the Dordogne has to offer at wonderful prices.
