The cheese...don't get me started. And those potatoes are just perfectly cooked. I wish we lived closer to France, just so I could go back to this restaurant regularly. The place is packed with locals, which is always a good sign. And definitely have some wine with your meal - you're in France, after all.

We did not have reservations so had to wait about a half an hour but ended up sitting outside on one of their terraces. We started with bottle of rose - Since it was warm. Scott ordered their shrimp starter dish that came with six prawns with heads on with a avocado salad. This was interesting but not exactly to his taste because avocado was mixed with cream. His main entree was the steak tartare( egg, onion, parsley, capers...) that came with fries ( fantastic, hand cut) and a green salad which was delicious and large. I ordered the prefix lunch menu which was fantastic house smoke salmon gravelux with dill cream and green saladwith red peppercorns and fried shallots and baguette. It came with a Large fresh fish dish that came with a barley and corn risotto topped with zucchini peppers and eggplant. This was fine but the salmon was the star! Dessert was a self serve chocolate mousse from a large pot which was simply delicious and espresso with a mini Madeline. Very lovely experience and a relaxing afternoon!!!

After a disappointing meal at another restaurant with a high Yelp rating last night, I asked our…read morehotel owner for a recommendation and she said this was the restaurant the she and her husband went to. This place totally lived up to the recommendation! It was busy while the rest of the town was dead, the food was perfectly prepared and presented with care and interesting creative touches. The service was prompt and pleasant and accommodating to those who speak French only poorly. We decided to break away from the prix fixe meals we have been having and ordered a la carte. In this case we were still well fed and didn't break the bank, actually coming in a little less that the p-f menu options. This being the Dordogne we decided to favor duck and goose products. We started with a shared entree of local duck fois gras. It was accompanied by toasted bread, onion jam, a yummy jell, and a tomato with cucumber and some essence of duck paste. Rich, smooth, and really nicely accented by each of the accompaniments. A single plate was adequate for two. My wife opted for the goat cheese tartlet with salad. This turned out to be a slice of toasted bread with there slices of goat cheese mentes on top. This might should like too little for a main, but the goat cheese was incredibly rich and was well complimented by the acidity of the salad. Simple but yummy. I opted for one of the house specialties and had the preserved goose breast with fried potatoes. The goose breast was fall apart tender, and would have been dry, except that they left a thin layer of fat under the skin, which when eaten together with the breast meat yielded a perfectly succulent mouthful. The potatoes were nice, but perhaps a little great and not at all crisp. However the accompanying squares of jelled white carrots and one of broccoli were exceptional. All the flavor of the vegetables but with a flan-like texture! Very cool! Also some mushrooms and fabulous gravy. Creative and perfectly prepared. For dessert my wife choose the frozen walnut souffle with walnut liquor sauce. Cool and creamy with great but taste and a nice little boozy note from the liquor. I opted for the cafe gourmond which we have discovered is a common offering of mini desserts and a cup of espresso. It was listed as being a selection of three desserts, but I actually got five! A tiny rum baba, a quarter of a chocolate lava cake, a vanilla Alice (merangue floating in vanilla sauce), a wee creme brulee, and a strawberries Melba all delicious. Our waiter was charming, pleasant, and patient with us. He really excellent by recommending a very nice local wine by the glass which was far from the most expensive, but was perfect with our meals. A clean modern look complimented the meal and made for a pleasant experience. I'd definitely go back!

Overall the food was bland and not tasty. The chestnut soup didn't taste like chestnut, it was more like a cream soup. The foie gras pate was good. The beef tenderloin I got was just OK tasting. The scalloped potatoes were interesting but a bit on the oily side. The best item was the wine they recommended. It was delicious and very inexpensive (only 4 euros).

From the 3 course Plate of the day we picked the Beef Carpaccio, the Grilled Chicken plate with a light Goat cheese dressing and salad and for dessert the Nougat ice cream. We also ordered a Cured Duck salad with assorted cheeses. Everything was delicious. The only mistake we made was ordering the 2nd salad since the Plate of the day would have more than enough for the 2 of us. With a soda and a beer the bill came to around $48 euro. Not inexpensive but delicious!
