The best French cuisine restaurants Aquitaine

The Gay family welcomes in their country-style property with a beautiful garden, swimming pool and guest rooms. Local people come for Laurence's cuisine, the gold medal of the calf head eaters' brotherhood in 2008… We love, it is really the word just, a foie gras croustade with Garden's peach juice followed by a calf with Perigordian ceps. And to finish an excellent red fruit and peach crumble. Everything is homemade and served with kindness. Ghislaine, Laurence's sister, is in charge of the service.

The setting of this listed 16th-century building already is already worth the detour with its terrace offering a view of the facade of the Maison de la Boétie. Katia Fournier and Jordy Bordes have opted for a modern decoration while preserving what makes the room so charming: the blond stones, the pasted beams and the fireplace which adds a warm atmosphere. The tablecloth is clear: string-colored placemats placed on the white tablecloths bring modernity. The couple likes welcoming and offer a local cuisine. The idea of a menu that you compose yourself is original. As a starter, the Périgord casserole egg with its foie gras escalope is just delicious. In a dish alongside the traditional confit and duck breast, we like the red label poultry supreme and its mushroom sauce. For dessert, the chocolate fondant rivals the old Souillac's plum baba.
