Le Relais du Chateau Chalais 15 Rue du Chateau, 16210…read moreChalais, France If you seek a quintessential experience of the best of France - the finest haute cuisine impeccably served in an elegant, historic setting -- you must visit Le Relais du Chateau Chalais, located near the village of Chalais. I had the pleasure of dining in this distinguished restaurant gastronomique a few weeks ago, when the relais had just hired its new executive chef. Assisted by just a few sous chefs, this artisan produces exquisite, artfully presented cuisine that rewards the palate with a depth of flavor I've rarely experienced. I chose the duck; my friend, the halibut. Both dishes were supremely delicious, perfectly prepared. Service was impeccable. Desert, a multilayered cream chocolate biscuit confection, out of this world. And the chateau itself is pure storybook France: constructed in the 14th century as a fortress, the renovated, updated residence retains the crenellated buttresses and the remains of a moat and drawbridge of its medieval heritage. I cannot recommend this dining destination highly enough. If you have the chance, reward yourself with an unforgettable and remarkably affordable meal at Le Relais du Chateau Chalais, located at 15 Rue du Chateau, 16210 Chalais, Charante, France.

On an incredibly scenic small street square, we entered an attractive restaurant with two indoor rooms and outside tables in Les Halles outside.

The restaurant filled with half Brits and half French and we left really really happy and looking forward to returning soon...

They use local and organic ingredients to make some of the best pizzas I have had since moving to France, but the menu has more than just pizzas. It's affordable too! They do a "pizza light" which is half of any pizza and salad for 10€. The ambiance isn't your typical French feel: The indoor seating has a more Mediterranean feel to it, and the outdoor seating is beautiful and relaxed under the trees and parasols.

She pretty much runs the place by herself - cooking, serving, and visiting with guests, so don't expect American-style in-and-out. However, if you want an authentic French dining experience in the Northern Dordogne, you should check it out. Genevieve speaks enough English to share the details of the meal, from the origin of the wine to how she prepares the delicious foie gras. There is also a pretty patio for outside dining when the weather permits.
