The best bistros and brasseries Aquitaine

Jeff Gautier has a 40-year career as a drummer. He has played with the greatest stars of French variety and has created a local orchestra, the Bars on Fire. With his wife, Marianne, he opened this restaurant in the countryside. The menu, offered in the form of a formula, is short: homemade terrine with three meats (pork, veal, game), egg casserole with foie gras or camembert roasted in the oven for starters. Special menus are organized around stuffed hens, calf's head gribiche, Flemish carbonade.... Meat and vegetables are mainly selected and purchased in the region. In this establishment, music is king. We rush the first Friday of every month for karaoke: we sing a song with a real professional orchestra, and the other Fridays it's Jams Sessions. The boss organizes blues, rock, soul, rhythm'n blues concerts with special gourmet formulas or snack plates (cold cuts, raw vegetables, tapas) and fish & chips. Everything here, atmosphere and decoration, breathes the love of music, in summer the stage is outside, on the shaded terrace.

The place is ideal, facing the abbey, bordering Dronne, with the hinge of two shopping streets. The terrace and the colorful atmosphere attract the eye! This restaurant brasserie offers many hot or cold dishes, salads, a dish of the market with all specialties that Périgord has (liver, duck, and mushrooms!), the dishes of the country and pizzas from there. The great classic for tourists not very rich and not in a hurry.

Delphine and Stéphane Bazingette took over the Hôtel du Parc. The restaurant has been refurbished, the room is nicely contemporary in gray and white and the shady terrace is a pure happiness on sunny days. The menu includes 4 starters, 4 main courses and 4 desserts in order to favor fresh products and every day, it is complemented by suggestions from the chef according to the season. The dishes are festivals of flavors: shrimp fritters and mashed avocado with sweet and sour sauce, back of cod sauce chorizo, pilaf rice and chorizo cream, custard and strawberry coulis or brioche french toast, chantilly and gooseberry ice-cream. Hamburgers are also present on the menu for children and adults... Delphine's service is smiling and efficient. A beautiful renaissance for the restaurant of Hôtel du Parc. 

This establishment was taken over by Marie Mulet, manager of Grand Hôtel Pélisson. The interior is contemporary. In summer, a large terrace with 80 seats, protected by large blinds, overlooks the square.
