Newly opened on this site, it had brought with it from its former Sarlat centre site, a reputation for Meat on the Rock, rather appropriate on the day we had visited the outstanding La Roque St Christophe site. At present, it opens for lunch every day but for dinner only on Fridays and Saturdays. Our first courses were Charcuterie (EUR6.00) for me and Salad with Gizzards (EUR4.00) for herself. Both were substantial and it took us a while to polish them off. They were big but nothing prepared us for the size of the main course. Both of us had chosen Beef on the Rock. The hot rocks were served smoking, the beef sizzling, all accompanied by a salad and chips and a couple of dips. All you had to do then was cook the beef to your taste: rare, medium or well done! The size of the piece of meat was astonishing. In each case it was at least three times the size of the normal fillet steak served in Cork! All for 15 euro. A good while later, we were asked, with no real expectation of an affirmative answer, if we wanted dessert. We just said we'd stick with the wine and finish it off, a very enjoyable Bergerac rouge which cost us EUR10.00 for the bottle. Full. You could say that. Tel: 05 53 28 56 14. C.C.

They were very busy but we got a table where I enjoyed a Galette Complet (more or less a sturdy crepe with fried egg, ham and cheese). A fine plateful for EUR8.50. A 25 cl jug of Bergerac Rose, a delightful drink on the hot day, cost EUR3.50. Then walked over the two nearby bridges, one over the Dordogne and one, its last, over the Vezere. This is the meeting of the waters and two now flow as the Dordogne. Under the trees, close to the restaurant, there are quite a few tables and here small groups were enjoying a do it yourself meal or just a rest from the hot sun. A tip. Some French restaurants, particularly in tourist areas, are spread across a road. You will usually find that the tables across the road from the main building are for drinks only.
