On the menu: traditional garlic Tourin with egg, gizzard salad, foie gras, duck breast with Sarlat potatoes, cheese, apple pie and coffee plus aperitif and the Bergerac wine. Who says better? As for set, it is also raw concrete: a large guest table, no tablecloths and paper towels. We get to know our neighboor until we are served. It is cosy and especially very delicious.

For years, Najatte and Sébastien Fourticq-Lahitolle have revealed a journey overland or by sea through the well-controlled Basque and Perigord cuisines.

In summer, you can enjoy the beautiful terrace. In winter, you can enjoy the typically Basque beautiful decoration.
