In this small village just before the Lot-et-Garonne, between Beaumont-du-Perigord and Villeréal, the gourmet restaurant of Vincent Lucas. This spirit of taste researcher offers a cuisine where he highlights Périgord products actually respecting them but it is not only because he remains mostly open to other products. It is difficult to list his dishes because they daily vary. The "discovery" menu can offer, for example, a semi-baked foie gras « Esprit Sainte-Maure», rocket with walnut, a noix trappe, timanoix with potato chips or roast saddle of Pyrenean lamb with Malabar pepper, roasted milla with truffles, jus with balsamic vinegar sauce. In dessert, vanilla bean mango cappuccino, meringue with grenadine and coconut, and comb style tuile. All is delicious both the flavours are tender and delicate taste. Anne is in the room and advises with great professionalism. As for the places, they are refined, tasteful, and clean. Vincent Lucas released a book titled Ma cuisine in Périgord where he revisits traditional dishes like the roasted foie gras with a smoked haddock salad or the amazing stuffed salmon.
