Le Peyragude sur Penne-D'Agenais

12/09/2024: Fantastically simple and beautiful lunch prepared by Carol, friendly service from Jean-Paul and lovely relaxed atmosphere. We would highly recommend!

02/09/2024: Making a reservation at Cafe des Arts is our first priority when we arrive to this beautiful corner of France. I am not ashamed to admit that we had not one, not two but three bookings here over the space of two weeks this summer. You just need to take a walk through Penne d’Agenais and stumble across this picturesque cafe to see why. You will be lucky to get a table on the day so do say hello to Jean Paul and book ahead, or alternatively give the restaurant a call to make a reservation. They speak English and are patient when we try to make a reservation or order our food in our poorly put together French. The cafe is in the perfect setting in the heart of Penne d’Agenais, with a quaint terrace which overlooks the church. Jean Paul and Carole create a perfect ambiance which compliments the charm of Penne d’Agenais. They get everything right. Fantastic setting. Fantastic ambiance. Fantastic service. Fantastic food. I order L’assiette de Mr. Seguin every time, without fail; a hot goat cheese on grilled toast, honey, walnut kernels, bacon, lettuce, olive oil and apple cider vinegar. Simple, locally sourced, French produce brought together to make the best salad I’ve ever had. The only thing that gets me through the doom and gloom of winter is the thought of being at Cafe des Arts in the summer and sitting down to L’assiette de Mr. Seguin. Then there’s the cider too. A must. The coffee and of course the crepes. The crepe caramel and a coffee is the perfect end to the meal. Do treat yourself to some additional ice cream on top.
