Excellent restaurant, in a beautiful garden. Staff attentive, and understanding of my poor French. Able to order a cheese-less pizza (a staple in France when vegan options are limited) without hassle or making a scene (not always true of what happens when asking for a pizza without cheese!). And had the gazpacho which was stunning. Well priced, right location in beautiful Limiuel. Recommended.
a comfortable place, in someones garden full of lovely flowers and hummingbird moths.
Hands down one of our favorites. It's in the home of the proprietare and it feels like it. The food is good. Not fancy, but real French cooking good. Prices are reasonable and the service is exceptional. She speaks some English and is helpful with the menu. Dog friendly, too!
Great experience, food delicious and service perfect.Will be back soon.Ewen
Excellent, elegant, homey. A delicious and comfortable meal near the river. Nice touches. Reasonable prices. Presented with care and kindness.
I’ve been coming here for 30 years. The food has only gotten better but the people have always been just as lovely and good natured as ever.Delicious pizza (and other main dishes) with fresh, homemade ingredients, nicely cooked in a spacious, beautiful flower garden, just next to the confluence of the vézere and Dordogne rivers.They offer homemade ice cream that is the basis of their desserts which are also scrumptious.To add to all that, their coffee is also very good and nicely served!Highly recommended for a lovely dinner with your partner, friends or family alike.
A wonderful spot for an authentic, old fashioned, French dining experience. A bit eccentric and experimental but a real contrast to anything else in the area. I highly recommend it to anyone who remembers France as it used to be.
Lovely food in a quiet corner of Limeuil. We sat under the old barn structure which was lovely and cooling this heat. The food was truly delicious ... evidently home cooked by someone with skill We will return
