The repertory, in tune with the zeitgeist and at bargain prices, ticks all the boxes: enticing, polished and colourful. Examples include poached oysters, marinated seabass with citrus fruit and a lemon-vodka sorbet; veal scallop and sweetbread, ravioles of chanterelle mushrooms and bl

Inspyration

Bib Gourmand€€Modern Cuisine

On the main road to Brive-la-Gaillarde, you are bound to notice this Corrèze-style building with its characteristic local stone walls and slate roof. You will immediately feel at home inside, thanks to the soothing decor (wooden floors, oak tables, leather- and fabric-upholstered seating) and the beaming smile of the laid-back chef. He cooks by instinct, devising blind menus out of locally sourced ingredients. His delicious dishes, such as Limousin veal belly, smoked beetroot, carrot ketchup and mashed parsnips, lack neither colour nor precision.

Moon

€€Creative

In this country house that is typical of the area, chef Nicolas Laval, himself a local man (from Corrèze), has opted for a pared-back contemporary interior decor in a palette of light wood, blue and white, in a nod to the maritime world he so loves. Examples of his dishes include shredded beef cheek, parsnip mousseline, red wine reduction, tarragon; line-caught hake, cauliflower, orange gremolata, grapefruit, citrus vinaigrette. It's pretty creative cuisine, always skilfully executed and the chef's attention to every little detail hits the spot with diners!

Everything is well executed – compliments to the chef!
