If you are wanting to get out of the normal tourist routine and spend time in a delightful country…read moreFrench restaurant, Le Caillau is the place! Beautifully situated among the vines of the Vallée du Lot, Le Callau is artfully considered, with seating under the trees or in a re-purposed barn or recently completed dining room/bar area. Chaz, his wife and their team take great pride in their 'farm to table' philosophy. Each server is well versed in the gustatory selections of the moment, and service is always warm and welcoming. Children of all ages find the interior courtyard interesting to explore, with its fountain and ever-inviting weeping willow tree. A walk along the country lane after an interesting, satisfying meal, prepare one for after dinner desserts and/or drinks. "Casual and VERY classy" is how the experience is best described. For example, I arrived with 3 elderly guests, all with some mobility issues, and Chaz immediately brought out padded chairs from the dining room as he recognized that old bodies would have a difficult time sitting for any length of time on the typical 'minimalist' patio chairs that are usually found outdoors. (We were in for a 3-hr lunch, so this was a great idea)!! Le Caillau is a 300-year-old wine domaine, and the complex includes a luxury 2-bedroom suite, including private swimming pool and garden. (NOTE: We have dine there many times, but never stayed overnight, so cannot speak to the accommodations, other than saying EVERYTHING is tastefully decorated and service at all levels is impeccable). Reservations are a must, but, in order to enjoy the experience fully, come when not pressed for time. This is a place to relax, enjoy and experiment with new epicurean delights! Attached are some photos, but photos at LeCaillau com are superior. Enjoy! This is a most memorable experience.

We were here on a Wednesday night and thought we wouldn't need a reservation, but a large group had…read moreshown up so all the tables were full. The owner was kind enough to squeeze us in at 9:30, which is far later than most French restaurants would allow customers to come. But despite the late start, we had a full meal, completely relaxed, and were the last ones to leave at around midnight. We began with cocktails: cocktail royale for me (champagne, chestnut and armagnac, yum), cocktail americano for my husband (basically, a negroni). Our wine was an Irouleguy, which was fantastic. For appetizers, I had "egg rolls" of black pudding and a gizzard salad (so good), while my husband had sauteed shrimp. For the main course, I had chicken stuffed with crayfish, while my husband got lamb cooked two ways. Our desserts were raspberry mousse encased in white chocolate with pear sorbet, and a creme brulee with strawberry-and-red-pepper sorbet. Both featured gravity-defying constructions of chocolate. The staff was friendly and the outdoor seating was excellent, right by the river and the famous bridge as you enter town. This is the priciest restaurant in town, but it's also very much worth it in quality.

Presentation was a 10 but the filling was a bit soggy. For main we had a Lieu Noir or Atlantic bass, again beautifully presented but the fish was a little dry (8/10). Dessert was magnificent as you'll see in the pictures (9/10). Very good overall. I would definitely go back.
