Gourmet Restaurant

In the lower part of this magical village, this establishment opened a few years ago and has been a great success ever since, especially with a demanding local clientele. The rustic stone interior doesn't offer much in the way of interest (though it's comfortable), but the two terraces are very attractive. A perfect menu at €28, with a choice of three starters, four main courses and three desserts, at no extra charge - truly irreproachable! In addition, the plates make a fine effort to break away from the ordinary Lotois register, with some really well-considered Asian influences: cauliflower cappuccino, garlic foam forest puff pastry, Aveyron pork mignon, chimichurri sauce, grenailles potatoes, vegetable broth, rice noodles and vegetables, poached pear with Tonka bean, white chocolate crumble and black tea chocolate sauce. Small regional cellar with friendly prices.
