The best restaurants Aquitaine

Leaving Mussidan direction Périgueux by RN 89, you will arrive in the charming restaurant of Jérôme Gaudré, originating in the north. What about a Ch 'ti? Not really because he has always spent his holiday since his earliest childhood in Périgord. It welcomes its guests in a pleasant, refined and warm setting. Very influenced by Escoffier, it plays between soil, flavors and creations: egg poached to burgundy on duxelles of brown mushrooms and grilled larks, roast veal touring roast, and gratin to Provençal, chocolate pie gourmanot. For even more fun, the garden terrace is very valuable from the first rays of sunlight.

As soon as you push the door of this restaurant, you immediately want to sit in the bright and contemporary dining room or on the large terrace, in the shadow of the pergola, and far from the city's hubbub. The quality decoration rhymes with quality cuisine, and it's the case. On the menu: gizzard salad and duck breast, sweetbreads of veal with ceps, and finally a homemade tiramisu with caramelized pears and speculos. Dishes that can be eaten with a great pleasure. The carte also mixes local with international and the duck breast sauce with porcini mushrooms come without problems with the Chinese wok of gambas and squids.

The Auberge des Platanes is a beautiful place on the edge of the Dordogne in front of the Port des gabarres. In this hotel-restaurant , rooms have views on the river or on the Parc. The restaurant area offers a brasserie menu (omelet, salad, prime rib and fish) or a more elaborate menu with traditional dishes: duck foie gras, duck confit, duck breast with Sarlat-style potatoes, Perigord burger and all homemade ice creams with original perfumes such as Suede creme brulee ice cream In the summer, the two terraces one under plane trees and the other overlooking the Parc with a view of the Dordogne are particularly nice to eat or just to take a ice cream or a drink. The restaurant on the first floor offers a stunning view.
