This must be the most beautiful restaurant in Périgueux. What a location.. Please look at the…read morepictures I took. And still you won't know what I mean cause I had to avoid some tables with people eating. Go here for the location alone. But the service was great too. A (I guess) 30 year old waiter greeted and seated me in very reasonable English. I asked for a food and drink recommendation and he told me they serve excellent local duck and have excellent Argentinian Malbec. I said that I would try his suggestion. A free small starter was served. Couscous with tuna. Mmm, not great I thought. The main course disappointed too. I asked the table next to me (as I was alone) what they thought of the very same dish they were both eating. They said they ate duck 4 times in this town up to now and this was the best. However they agreed it still wasn't excellent. Free WiFi. After I asked, the waiter said the restaurant had opened recently, and the owner is the chef cook. He also said that they keep the prices the same all year round, where some other restaurants raise the prices during summer. I would say 4 stars but with the location definitely a 5 star restaurant anyway.

The venue is cool, decor in keeping with its origin and on hot days the stone structure is forgiving. Expensive but worth it for a treat.

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.

He quickly realized we didn't speak French and made time to come over and introduce himself, then went over the all french menu for us in English. The food is great, however he told us multiple times if we didn't like something to let him know and he would get us something we did like. At the end of the meal he even offered us an umbrella as it was raining outside. Stand up hospitality. The restaurant itself is very cozy inside. We sat in front of the window and got in some good people watching. Nice wine list and even some awesome local craft beers. Food was spectacular and at a good price. All locals here. Because of Remi and his wife though, we never felt like "tourists," or out of place. As one review mentioned, don't let the lack of reviews deter you from coming here.
