Everything was of the highest quality and so artistically presented. The duck confit egg rolls were delicate. The veal was so tender and the flavor was perfection.

After the beef excesses of the previous night, decided on some fish from our regular stall: Pavillion de la Marée. Selection didn't include Julienne we wanted but we did buy some panga, despite the fact that neither of us knew what it was and not one of our books had a translation. Later, we found out that it was an Asian fish. Tasted fine.

Late, in the afternoon, strolled back to the old quarter of Sarlat where we enjoyed a drink (Stella…read moreArtois, 3 euro for 25cl) at one of the square side cafes, The Regent. Here, on the shady side of the street, we enjoyed watching the world go by before heading to the gite again and a dinner based around Stuffed Tomatoes and Black Pudding and a bottle of red Premier Cotes de Blaye. Oh, by the way, I did get herself a drink at The Regent, a 25cl bottle of alcohol free Stella for EUR3.50, just to see the waiter do his trick. When opening a bottle of beer, he lifts it over his shoulder with the bottler opener and, in a one handed motion, using the shoulder as leverage, he flicks off the cap. Show off!

We did get a few bits and pieces in the market stalls but our big call today was to the traiteur…read morecalled Charcuterie de Campange, SAS Vaux, rue de la Republique, 24200 Sarlat. I'm surprised at the amount of Irish people who visit France who do not even know of the value of the traiteur. Here, you can get many French classic dishes and other lesser known classy ones for a very good price. That means your dinner is sorted. Heat in the oven or microwave as required and voila you get a terrific meal. We spent just over 15 euro there this morning. Top purchase, at EUR4.99, was Jambon with sauce medere (ham with Madeira sauce); Sarlat potatoes; tomates farci (stuffed tomatoes) and Boudin Noir with onions which cost EUR1.37. Having returned from Terrasson, we had that ham along with the potatoes and it turned out to be excellent, going down well with a bottle of Fronton. Dessert was a few very tasty macaroons (at EUR1.50 each) which came from an artisan producer in the market. Just to give you a comparison, the meal costs were as follows: Melon starter 2.60, mains 9.89, dessert 4.50, wine c 2.00. Total for two: EUR18.99.

We'd just visited Lascaux II and thought we'd wing it for dinner, see what would pop up. So to…read morediscover such a wonderful little place with such a random method was amazing. They offered a pizza Salignacoise and I figured I'd try the hometown dish... but the description says it has duck bacon? I check with the waitress and she confirms...duck bacon. At this point I have no idea what I'm in for but I'm game. The pizza isn't just good it's mind blowing. I COULD NOT believe how good it was. It was more food than I planned on eating but there was no way I was giving any of this back. And then I try my wife's gallette savoyarde. Oh you've got to kidding me!! It's a loving, heaping pile of savory crepe, porky goodness. After these two home runs naturally the cider is delicious and the waitress is drop dead gorgeous and the view was sweet, low key, French beautiful. I think I have a new favorite French restaurant!

We were wandering around the enchanting medieval old town of Sarlat la Caneda looking for dinner…read more This place is one of the places that were recommended by our B&B, but its price is also significantly higher. The other places nearby offer set dinners for €10-20, but this place goes from €27-49. Under the dreamy charm of the little town, we decide we can splurge a bit and enjoy some fine French dining. The first server, on realizing that we speak very little French, passed us on to another server who turns out be from South America! He did his best to explain the menu. It features highly the regional favorites of duck and truffle, but also has a new spin, such as cooking duck in earl grey tea leaves and serving scallop with enoki mushrooms. It's well worth the splurge, we enjoyed our food so much, especially the scallop and duck.

The servers speak English and also will humour you if you would like to practice your francais. The kids meals were so well received by the kids in our party. Our starters were works of art. The Fois Gras was great, we had Tempura with shrimp and sausage. The silence that falls over your table when the food arrives tells the tale. The wine selection is thorough and very representative of the region. The mains were awesome also. I had the saddle of lamb but every entree was ordered around the table, they were all complex flavours and textures, the temps were perfect, the meats juicy and fresh, the vegetables cooked perfectly and the sauces... just wow. Dessert was the chocalat fondant. Please visit this place. The dessert was amazing.
