House in Périgord near Medieval Villages

Whether by moonlight or sunlight, welcome to this pretty property in the heart of a Dordogne village. The aromas wafting out of the kitchen have been tantalising diners for four generations now! Beautifully presented recipes that err towards traditional and wholesome, such as crispy sweetbread paired with a crunchy tartlet of celeriac and onion milk. Small guestrooms are available to prolong your stay in this enchanting village.

Valérie and Jean-Marc Réal have been at the helm of this delightful restaurant in a peaceful Black Périgord village for over twenty years. The chef enhances seasonal produce, cleverly blending tradition and modernity, in particular courtesy of punchy gravies and carefully balanced combinations of ingredients. Examples include sautéed snails and calf’s head wrapped in green leaves, garnished with a watercress-flavoured crème of cep mushrooms. A warm welcome and an extensive wine cellar add the final flourish to a slap-up meal.

This spruce stone house has earned a fine reputation for itself in the Périgord noir. Chef Bruno Marien curates a vibrant modern score featuring premium regional produce: free-range geese, partridges, whole carcasses and fruit and veg from local growers. The shaded patio by a fountain is bliss come summertime. Never fails to deliver the goods!

School’s out! In its place, this gently nostalgic establishment has a classroom - style dining room, courtyard terrace and kitchen garden in the old playground. Contemporary cuisine.
