Les meilleurs restaurants en Dordogne

14/05/2026: An endless wait Cook/waiter/dishwasher... One person trying to do everything So, 4 hours for a simple meal A crowded dining room full of complaining customers and an unpleasant man This isn't what you expect from this kind of place Plus, a fruit juice for my daughter cost €9! When we asked him, "That's the price!"

09/05/2026: We had dinner there last night on the terrace. The setting is charming and pleasant. The set menu was €48 for a starter, main course, and dessert. We thoroughly enjoyed it. The ingredients were fresh, expertly prepared, and perfectly seasoned. The chef, who also manages the service, is a true culinary artist who loves what he does and what he offers. A truly delightful experience for the taste buds.

17/04/2026: Nestled in the heart of the Périgord countryside, L’Étang Jolie is a farm-inn offering warm, family-style cuisine with authentic, homemade dishes. A culinary experience that reminds us of the very essence of things: simplicity. A big thank you, Isabelle!

06/04/2026: "We're going to eat at Aunt Isabelle's": it's not a restaurant, it's... a real family home, with home cooking like in the old days. Warmth and genuine hospitality, no frills (especially not for pretentious types), real homemade foie gras, homemade duck confit, and homemade desserts... Everything is unpretentious and you leave with a full stomach of simple, delicious food. You sit down on the chairs among the daisies to digest... after a little sip of "44" (a local beer). It's at Aunt Isabelle's! 👍

11/06/2026: A very pleasant place. The food is excellent, and the atmosphere and friendliness are great too. No doubt, we'll be back.

23/05/2026: Really great, my parents loved it!

15/02/2026: I placed an order, delivery was on time and the pizza was excellent.

12/02/2026: Vegetable-based pizza without the listed ingredients and barely cooked. Next time, if you don't have arugula, replace it with lamb's lettuce; if you don't have sundried tomatoes, don't use frozen fresh tomatoes; and zucchini roasted in oil shouldn't be raw. In short, it wasn't great. We won't be back. The second goat cheese and honey pizza wasn't anything special either.

31/05/2026: The quality is consistently excellent, and the owner is very attentive to customers. They are especially kind to children (the last meal they prepared was for a private event). A great time for the whole family.

24/05/2026: I went there on a Friday at lunchtime; for €16.50 there was a good selection, simple, efficient!

18/05/2026: A really nice place and a very pleasant owner! It's worth stopping by!

27/04/2026: Friendly atmosphere Excellent food Large parking lot

21/09/2025: EDIT: Review of meal September 2023. New review coming soon - July 2024. After reading about Le Bistro d'en Face in Le Michellin guide we were excited to visit for dinner on the terrace overlooking the Dordogne river, and boy were we not disappointed! The food was excellent 👌,fresh ingredients, prepared simply but with panache. We both opted for the local delicacy of Canard de Foix Gras served with 2 variations of prune jus and a stick of homemade walnut bread. The Foix Gras was rich and buttery while the prune sauces balanced the dish with sweet sharpness. For my main course I opted for the smoked and grilled beef fillet, cooked medium rare to perfection with home cooked pomme frites, carrot puree, grilled spring onions and a creamy, savoury, borderlais type sauce. Dressed with pickled white mustard seeds it was a perfectly put together and well thought out plate. Well balanced, with no one component battling against the others. My companion chose the grilled turbot with samphire and lemon butter sauce served with a separate creamy pea rissoto and what looked like a parmesan crisp coloured with squid ink. The fish was cooked perfectly, delicate firm flesh with a beautiful light flavour. There is a reason the turbot is the king of fish! Well balanced fillet with a buttery, fatty edge meeting the crispy skin. Imagine salmon belly sashimi and you'll be close! The sauce was rich, sharp and complemented the fish well and the salty samphire balanced out the richness perfectly. Finally onto the last course. A selection of french cheeses was delivered to my side of the table, while a light and airy mousse au chocolat with a hazelnut crisp and strawberry sorbet was placed down opposite. The cheeses had clearly been left to breathe for a while as they were at the perfect temperature, creamy, soft and the clear winner was the goats cheese from the Pyranes, delicious! A close second was the firm, slightly golden cows milk cheese. I only tasted a small spoonful of my companions dessert, but what a spoonful....Rich, decedent and voluptuous. A chocolate lovers dream dessert. The house Rosé was better than average, somewhat let down by the plastic cooler sleeve. The food and the service were superb. A clear example of a restaurant with a small selection of dishes done to perfection. My only real criticisms were that we were expected to keep our cutlery for both our starter and main course. Why Le Bistro d'en Face???? This was disappointing for a restaurant with such a good reputation. Linen napkins and a fish knife for the turbot would have been nice additions, but not a necessity. All in all a great evening and highly recommended.

20/02/2026: Great restaurant, we had a wonderful meal. Excellent rib steak. Impeccable service.

02/11/2025: Fantastic seafood buffet. Warm atmosphere, very friendly waitresses, and a very welcoming atmosphere. We'll be back. We returned and enjoyed ourselves just as much as before. The seafood buffet is still as delicious as ever, and the set menus are still as generous and tasty. The service is always perfect.

23/05/2026: Having moved to Saint-Jean-le-Vieux a week ago, we found this beautiful place with a smiling, very friendly, and professional team. We met some lovely people and found a great atmosphere. Having come from Béarn (Orthez) and returned to our roots, nothing beats the Basque Country, its warmth, and its conviviality. Thank you to them!

04/04/2026: Thank you for the break and the welcome.

24/05/2026: A very nice restaurant, with very fast service and very pleasant waitresses. The traditional dishes are excellent and very well prepared. A very good experience for my mother's birthday; we had a wonderful time, thank you!

20/05/2026: The local produce is excellent and the food very good; we didn't try the foie gras at this restaurant. The atmosphere in the small street is typically charming for Sarlat. The chestnut mousse could have benefited from not being overwhelmed by the whipped cream, which we suspect is store-bought.

01/06/2026: Nothing to say... perfect. Perfect setting in a pretty village...

26/05/2026: A beautiful shaded terrace in the prettiest village in the area. Fabulous food (especially seafood) and friendly attentive service. Thank you! From my ten year old daughter- The starters were very yummy and the same with the main course, I would highly recommend coming here. I can’t help but think how incredibly hard it must be to run a business like this. The staff were also incredibly kind and I hope to come back soon.

22/05/2026: Excellent establishment. Thank you for everything. The driver, G2 Taiwan. From today 😉

12/05/2026: Fantastic welcome. A festival of flavors from start to finish. An address to remember and absolutely recommend. We will be back.

20/03/2026: Yesterday, March 19, 2026, we came as a couple (remember "Frejus" 😀) on the recommendation of my uncle. Being a native of Bergerac, I was able to appreciate your cuisine, which reminded me of my childhood and of a France that still had values. Thank you for your friendliness and your welcome. See you at All Saints' Day; this time there will be three of us.

07/03/2026: Just go in, it's a fantastic experience. Best regards, Hollander Terme d'Astor

07/06/2026: The dishes are good and well-presented. The portions are perhaps a little limited. The price is around 45 euros.

30/05/2026: We had a wonderful time. The staff were friendly and welcoming. And the food—what can I say? Thank you, Chef! We thoroughly enjoyed it. You can book a meal; you won't be disappointed.

04/05/2026: Excellent kebab, clean and fast! Professional service!

17/03/2026: Best tacos in Périgueux, no question about it 🫡
