Based on traditional recipes handed down from generation to generation since 1964, Didier Darnis offers products from his beehives and walnut trees. For over 40 years, Maison Darnis has been producing an authentic, succulent family recipe with a unique, delicious taste that has earned it recognition that grows with each passing year. The secret of this recipe has been passed down to this day, ensuring its longevity. You'll also find honeys, propolis products, beauty products, nuts and more.

Roland and Annick Périn handed over Les Délices du Valentré to Cédric Fauvel in 2019. This young pastry chef, who has been an employee of the company since 2005, will take over from them. This high place of the chocolate cadurcien is well and truly an address of reference. Among the flagship products of the establishment, we find the hull, the pastis, the diamonds of saffron, the cabécou with chocolate, the cayrou. On the savory side, the quiche lorraine, the "bouchées à la reine", the ham and cheese croustade are sure values on which Cédric continues to bet.

In the heart of the beautiful village of Saint-Cirq-Lapopie, in her small shop where you can take away or taste the traditional apple cake, Adeline invites you to taste the Pastis Quercynois. The know-how is unique in the Lot; the dough is stretched by hand on a table covered with a sheet of several meters, dried and then decorated with a layer of butter, sliced apples, sugar and a local alcohol to give it its melting and crunchy texture. Gourmets can also order their pastis online!

The famous pastis quercynois is not to be confused with the drink from Marseille, because "pastis" comes from "pastry" in old French. It is a delicious cake with a very thin pastry base, sliced apples and a rum syrup. The slow cooking makes this cake a subtle mixture of crunchy and fondant. Traditionally, this country cake was made by grandmothers for special occasions and, with a secret recipe, only a few craftsmen know the secret of the trick.

Marion and Cyril run an extraordinary chocolate factory in this small street in Cadurcia. The cocoa bean is a precious stone that finds its jewel case here. Cyril, artisan-chocolatier, works the chocolate as a goldsmith works the gold. The materials are noble and chosen with great care. In the back store, two workshops keep the production alive, the first one for the chocolate, the second one for the cookie making: indeed, a nice choice of madeleines and financiers is also proposed. A gourmet's paradise!

Olivier and Liesbeth, of Belgian origin, are the kings of artisanal ice cream made from organic cow's and goat's milk. The choice is dizzying with about forty flavors and the panel of colors lends itself to all delicacies. Using an old manufacturing technique, without coloring, with fresh fruit for the sorbets, these friendly ice cream makers milk their goats on the spot and allow you to visit their farm! Ice creams to take away or to taste on the spot.

Artisanal ice creams, macaroons, smoothies, milkshakes, granités, takeaway coffees, crêpes, waffles... No fewer than forty flavors, each more original than the last, including cabécou goat's cheese, foie gras, walnuts, Cahors wine, saffron, old plums, chestnuts and more. "La coupe du paradis", the establishment's star composition, with 1 scoop of cabécou goat's cheese drizzled with honey, 1 scoop of walnuts and 1 scoop of Cahors wine, "la coupe amadourienne", another of the establishment's specialties, with 1 scoop of foie gras, fig and saffron...

Trained as a pastry chef, Jérôme Moulinou became a pastry chef from the Lot department after his training at the Lycée Hôtelier de Souillac, a reference in the profession. After a career in the restaurant business, he opened his own shop in Cahors "Lilu" as a tribute to his two daughters Lina and Lucine. In 2021, he was a candidate for the title of "Best Bakery in France". In his bakery, the bread is crispy and the pastries are a hit! Very beautiful mastery of pastry techniques, which gives very beautiful pieces. You will also find a whole range of savoury products.

Les Délices de Sophie is above all a family cookie factory that created the Simbòls, a cookie that is now emblematic of Figeac, and makes sweet cakes or aperitif cookies with a maximum of locally produced ingredients. In the summer, the rolled ice cream or the pots of farm ice cream will be the rendezvous of all the amateurs of the genre. You will come back for chocolates, macaroons, dragées, at Christmas, Easter, for a party or simply for pure greed. In any case, you will never come back by chance, always for pleasure.

The Delbeau family business continues the production of biscuits and pastries made in Rocamadour. The quality is at the rendezvous with products without colouring agents or preservatives, made in an artisanal way. The base of the pastries is local with walnuts, but also chestnuts, hazelnuts and almonds. All these ingredients are available in cakes, crunchy, coated sweets, toasted, palets... On Rocamadour, you will find them in specialist shops as well as in the food shops of the Lot. Quality, flavour and know-how.
