The best restaurants Aquitaine

In the heart of the village of Sault-de-Navailles, beneath the dominating old tower, remnant of a motte castrale, this restaurant is a well-known address that began in 1984. Trained by her predecessor, Nathalie has taken over the reins of this authentic cuisine, continuing the tradition of undeniable quality. She offers a reduced menu in which she works on her own identity. Particular attention is paid to vegetables, spices and herbs, which sublimate her work on a much-appreciated local cuisine. Here, the emphasis is on short circuits, impeccable preparation and service. An address to remember if you want to discover another face of Béarn cuisine.

After 9 years on board the Palmyra, Caroline and Philippe took over from this well-located establishment in the village. Jimmy and Grisany Haniff took over from Guyana, where they were already working in the hotel and restaurant business. After a period of transition and adaptation, they have kept their minds on old stones and offer themed evenings, Halloween and others. In winter, you can spend a moment around the pool table. On sunny days, the tables set up in the garden are a pleasant stopover on the way to the holidays. The daily menu includes starter, main course, cheese, dessert and wine. From Wednesday to Saturday evening, you can enjoy pizzas and hamburger fries, on site or to take away.

The liner has no intention of going back to sea.... Its captain Patrick Damman has taken a taste for the land, but under the eye of an ocean that rocks this superb restaurant and its terrace. In a classic setting, the chef's cuisine offers great classics prepared with fresh and local produce. On the bistro side, simple and tasty specialities: Iberian ham, chipirons, homemade paella, calf's head with gribiche sauce and a seafood festival with crabs, prawns, lobsters from the fish pond, oysters from Marennes and other bulbs... Fans of the traditional rib of beef à la plancha will not be disappointed. The gourmands will fall in love with the homemade chocolate waffle, coulis and whipped cream, the Basque beret and its vanilla cream or the spilled caramel cream.... The lair of all the pleasures around a very professional staff... view on the beach included in the service!

The big room disguises little: here are the employees of the companies in the vicinity, the delivery companies, the passing trade, a very varied clientele and, in premium, group meals. Each of his hours, his habits. The choice is wide, for all appetites, and the buffet formula is very successful. The children's menu with nuggets, fries and dessert buffet makes happy.

L'Omelettaria, in yellow with casserole everywhere, and its totally offbeat decoration at the ceiling, offers omelet and eggs and more: fresh meat, fish or pasta and a menu of homemade salads or hamburgers are also on the à la carte menu. In summer, the shady terrace is highly prized.

Since 1992 Flamingo is Mexico in the heart of the Périgord. You can enjoy authentic Mexican cuisine, home-made burgers and original dishes, in a typical setting and a musical atmosphere. To the map all the great classics: guacamole and nachos, quesadillas, fajitas, enchiladas, chili con carne but also a small perigourdine touch in the duck pan to the nucleus of foie gras.

This Duo is very pleasant whether it's in winter when you can sit in a large modern dining room where tables are large and well spaced, or in summer on the sunny terrace equipped with contemporary furniture, sofas and armchairs to simply have a drink, and a playground for children. The cuisine adapts to the seasons and all the products used are local. The menu served only for dinner and Sunday is very local: Borrèze trout duo (trout tartare and homemade smoked trout) or tarte tatin with cherry tomatoes and red mullet basil, skewer of "fish Duo" or whole duck breast grilled over a wood fire. Well-garnished salads such as the Pleinefage (salad, gizzard and duck manchon, homemade half-cooked foie gras and walnuts) and grilled meats are the specialties of the house as well as the homemade ice creams of Bruno Marien in Vézac. A space is dedicated to the sale of products of producers supplying the bistro as well as some craftsmen sculptors, painter or potter.

Michelle Dauvissat receives in a 1870 hostellerie. Side kitchen, the chef has good know-how and the local menu is a nice business: a delicious pot of pot in the light sauce, a Cassoulet of Périgord or of a of black lieu sauce and to finish a tartelette nut. The beautiful dining room is replaced by a large shaded terrace. As for the service, too, everything is perfect. The rooms are classic but full of colours.
