One of the best meals I had in years. For a starter I had the fried coated egg with caviar. My main course was rabbit covered in herbs cooked in carrots and prunes. I then finished off the meal with a cheese assortment (they had 16 to chooses from on a cart that came table side) and coffee. Fantastic wine selection and attentive service.

Lovely restaurant serving local staples which are executed flawlessly. Attentive and efficient…read moreservice. Excellent dining experience; would love to come

L'instant Delice was recommended by the owner of our Chambre d'Hote and it was very good…read more Although they were very busy the wait staff were friendly, efficient and understanding of our lack of French. They specialize in traditional Perigord cuisine and our greatest difficulty was choosing what to eat. Between us we had a Walnut salad with mustard dressing and a fabulous Foie Gras Terrine for entrees. For our main course we had Coq au Vin and Confit du Canard, both of which were wonderful! A simple dessert of fresh Strawberries and cream shared between the two of us was all we needed to finish a great meal. I had an apperatif of walnut wine and we shared a couple of pitchers of easy drinking rose housewine. The cost of the meal for two was just over 60 euros which we thought was very reasonable.

Le Clos Saint Front did not come up with many reviews, and not on Yelp. The only reason we stopped…read morethere was that it was opened on a Sunday. And the rest was just magical. Chef Patrick Fuega is working the room to greet the customers and taking care of the more delicate or theatrical dishes (we had Brazilian beef cut with a sword in front of us, all with the reason why but you'll have to find out for yourself!). The menu is changing every 45 days but I had the "garden vegetables my way" and it summarizes perfectly the state of mind of the chef: deeply rooted in humble and countryside origins, the Chef lets you know from the start that he knows better how his food must be prepared. Which would be arrogant if the meal did not deliver, but it does. Another subtle hint in the cuisine is the time spent by the Chef in Asia, which infuses the recipes with exotic touches, always at the service of the main dish and not just as a cover up of lacklustre cuisine. They also have a magnificent terrace but we went there on a rainy Sunday. Nonetheless, the warm welcome and friendly post-lunch discussion with the Chef, on top of a perfect experience, will definitely lead to drive the 2+ hours to try it again in the summer sun. A must if you are in the area.

Traveling in the Dordogne, we were looking for a decent spot for dinner in Perigueux. Holy wow! I…read morecan't begin to tell you how well these guys delivered. After eating all over San Francisco, we are rather spoiled, and yet here was a menu with not one but numerous departures from the 'norm' - and I can honestly say that everything we tried was amazing! We ate on the terrace which was a classically old French space with plants and old rock walls lending their support to a timeless experience. Service? Not sure how to beat this. The waiter graciously walked us through the menu in French and very good English, he went out of his way to interview our children and create custom dinner choices followed by unique dessert plates with each child's name written beautifully on each! What a great experience!! Don't pass this up!!

We sat on the patio and it was well shaded, but near the bamboo we had pieces of plant raining down on us with the breeze. They have a lunch menu with entree, plat dessert for a modest sum. The Food was tasty with correct portion size. The beef steak was tender, and everything was well-seasoned For dessert we ate Moelleux aux pomme!! So tasty!! Do not miss! FYI Parking is a bit tight.
