A farm, restaurant and inn, family run, situated about a mile out of St. Méard on the D32 road to Le Fleix.
All food is produced and cooked by the family. Wine is also home produced.

Used by locals, bus tours, commercials and tourists, this eating establishment is an experience!

Menus range from 20E 3-course lunch, 25E 4-course and 32E 5-courses. Inclusive of all drinks.

Aperitifs of prune or almond kir, copiously dished out before choice of soup, salade Périgord or pate followed by duck, lamb or braised ham. Other specialities are coq au vin or stuffed chicken. Digestifs served with the dessert are normally sufficient to ensure a good snooze afterwards.

Throughout the whole meal wine is supplied free, followed by more wine! This is not a place to go for a sedate meal or high class gastronomic experience, better to go with a party of people and have a knees up! Claude the proprietor loves to don a beret and sing, this normally turns into a dance especially Thursday to Saturday evenings.

The locals love it and expect you to join in. You’ll soon get the hang of the dances ……….. enjoy!

Sunday lunchtime is especially popular with everyone, booking is essential. Normally expect to be there at least 4 hours!

They also serve produce such as foie gras, or coq au vin and conserves in jars – makes for an interesting souvenir of your visit.
