• RacinetteBib She is Canadian and he’s Belgian and they have set up shop in Lectoure in a steep street near the cathedral. Half-café, half-bar, it is busy all day long for a drink, a snack or a meal. The concise menu is a savvy mix of tradition and contemporary notes: medium rare slice of roast veal with girolles and confit potatoes, fried aubergines with a Japanese twist and a creamy cheese, or figs in red wine delicately laid on a hazelnut cake and mascarpone mousse. Pastel tones and stone set the scene in the large dining room, the mezzanine area is eminently friendly and the terrace invariably bathed in3.1km
• Le Florida While regional delicacies remain firm fixtures on the menu of this welcoming traditional establishment (in business since the 1930s), a few discreet nods to the Mexican roots of the new owner have found their way into the culinary score. Examples include crispy crackling chicharron appetisers or a smoked, spicy tomato sauce that adds a kick to a starter of thinly sliced carpaccio of stuffed duck neck, apples and mayonnaise made from Gascony mustard. Healthful, fresh, throbbing with flavour and top-drawer quality. On sunny days, the shaded alfresco patio is blissful.18.2km
• Citrus This restaurant in a traditional old building with a pretty patio to be enjoyed on sunny days has a small lemon-yellow dining area (echoing the name Citron) with exposed stone walls and modern bistro furniture. Éric Sampietro (previously chef at La Table des Cordeliers) concocts appealingly hearty fare, from vegetable broth with pork dumpling to roasted pear with ginger caramel, crumble and yoghurt ice cream.19.9km
