Gault&Millau's review

15.5/20
Remarkable Restaurant In the heart of this Périgord village nestled in a meander of the Dordogne, Le Vieux Logis has been a Relais & Châteaux hotel since 1952. In the impeccable formal garden with its stream running through it, meals are served in the shade of the lime trees in fine weather. But the rest of the year you'll feel right at home in the former tobacco drying shed: high ceilings and a mezzanine create a theatrical setting in which the old meets the new, as evidenced by the Catellani & Smith suspension lamp. The cuisine asserts its Périgord roots - foie gras, truffles, duck, walnuts - while opening up to other influences, playing on land-sea or sweet-floral combinations with slow, precise cooking. Duck foie gras marinated in Monbazillac and ginger seduces with its geometric presentation, the freshness of its jelly, the precision of its onion compote and the subtlety of its ginger. The crispy calf's head plays on the contrast between the softness of the candied meat and the crispness of the brick; it is enhanced by a langoustine tartar, which adds a silky, noble note, and peas offering a pleasant vegetable note. We also like the roasted lean back for its precise cooking and the stuffed zucchini flower that accompanies it. Roast pigeon, with pan-fried foie gras, combines melting flesh and caramelized skin, tasty chanterelles and well-executed salpicon; only the jus lacks a little concentration. The desserts prolong the pleasure: strawberries and rhubarb in an intensely fruity jus, then Valrhona chocolate and hazelnut in a light mousse invigorated by a more full-bodied verrine, with a melting Baileys ice cream. The wine list combines prestige and diversity, from Burgundy to the icons of Bordeaux and the Rhône, while promoting Bergerac and local winemakers at measured prices; the glass service, precise thanks to the Enomatic, offers a fine range of styles, from Loire chenin to southern grenache. In a place where elegance is sober and natural, far from flashy effects, Périgord advances with measure and taste, faithful to its roots but open to the times.
