After strolling around town - and before heading to the impressive castle - we stopped here for lunch. Our other lunch option was packed, but here were a few tables available (but not for long). Our Bulldog was welcome inside as well.
It's a very easy, relaxed restaurant with a short, but interesting menu. Lots of locals and national tourists. Not many international visitors. A good sign.
They also have some daily specials and set menu.
We ordered two glasses of white wine. For the main we had the Confit de canard (duck confit) and the Saucisse Aveyronnaise. Both with Aligot on the side.
The meals might sound simple, but both were delicious. The duck confit wonderfully tender - as it should be. Nicely done. The Saucisse (sausage) was a local specialty, nice meat and spices. The aligot was amazing. It is a dish made from cheese blended into mashed potatoes. Very heavy, very filling...but also very very good. Something that we will try to do at home somewhen. Already miss that dish.
Prices are on the lower side. Mains just 15 and 11 Euros. Both meals came with a little extra salad on the side.
A really nice little gem, this place. Lucky the other restaurant was full. If not, we would have missed out on this lovely place here. read more
