Gault&Millau's review 2026

Nicolas Esche has a wealth of experience, including stints at Westermann and Drouant, which he brings to his fine Brive restaurant. Here, the genre is traditionally inspired and well revisited, giving rise to a technical and visually successful plate, such as the work around langoustine, beef and foie gras, balanced and modern, pressed brioche foie gras, beef fillet petals with salt, cress extract and langoustine condiment, saint-pierre with asparagus and morel mushrooms, shellfish emulsion, sweetbreads and hay potatoes, jus court, a dessert of pressed apples, vanilla caramel puff pastry, vanilla juice and almond ice cream. Well-stocked cellar (Bourgeois-Diaz, Pascal Lorieux, domaine Fouassier, domaine de la Rectorie). Friendly service.
