Located in the Lower Monthoux, the Auberge Rouge hostel is unmissable. Its red facade, its tree-lined area, its private car park attracts the visitor's eye right away. From the old farm of 1900, the walls of stone, the beams and the parquet floor are preserved, which make the whole of this family-run hostel a family-friendly hotel. We walk through the fine grocery store full of specialties from the southwest, and Marie-Laure leads us to our table with smile and courtesy. Following her parents she shaped this cozy atmosphere around the spirit of the wine and the southwest. This is a magnificent mosaic bull above the chimney and all around the old traps a décor evoking both baroque style and cabaret in red and black. At the map, a carpaccio and courgettes with hazelnuts, green tapenade and Basque sheep, ravioli of foie gras to morilles and cream or a range of sweet stove sauce in orange accompanied by a wine selected by the Knight of Cahors wines. Desserts still bring a little bit of the region loved in the plate, with a crouch of apples, hot and watered by Armagnac. The flavors controlled by chef Jean-François Mériot, master restaurateur, who in a few minutes makes us cross France!
