• L'Herboriste In this small village on a bend of the River Lot, a handsome manor house provides the setting for this restaurant, run by a former sous-chef of Le 1862 – Les Glycines, and his partner. With space for just a dozen diners, the venue is depicted by a savvy blend of historical and contemporary. The artistically plated courses are often flanked by satellite side dishes. Modern, flavoursome cuisine that is emphatically seasonal and local, illustrated by seabass with a shrimp and saffron jus. In this cornucopian land of abundance, you will be spoilt for choice.13.7km
• Maison K From the open kitchen of this hybrid space – part delicatessen, wine bar and restaurant –, a seasoned chef sends out dishes that are perfectly in tune with the convivial setting: spontaneous, precise, designed to delight without overthinking things. The pigeon and green asparagus, expertly cooked over coals and finished with a reduced pink peppercorn jus, is a standout example. The wine list comprises a constantly evolving selection of well-priced bottles (mostly biodynamic or natural) from small producers, and the enthusiastic front-of-house team is on hand to recommend just the right tipple.19.5km
