“ The best steak I've had in France so far. Before this, I had given up on steaks cooked by local chefs, regardless of homemade or Bib Gourmand. All the steaks were overcooked. The ones I could actually enjoy were prepared by Italian or American chefs. Luckily, the doneness and texture of the steak at this place finally meet the standard. 1-kilogram boneless ribeye steak. The menu states it's for two people, but the normal portion for one person is ard 180-300g. The 1 kg serving is probably meant for big eaters. As it turned out, two normal eaters couldn't finish it all. This dish comes with salad and fries as sides, so it's just right for 3-4 people. The steak is cooked to perfection, seared on the outside, tender on the inside. It's presented in the form of ribeye, sizzling on a preheated iron plate as it's brought to your table. For carnivores, there's nothing more satisfying than the sound of sizzling beef on an iron plate. The steak is medium, with a beautiful pink center perfectly sealed by the caramelized outer layer. It's lightly salted, enhancing the meat's flavor. No need for sauce; the seasoning is just right. It's a testament to the quality of the beef. Every bite is a delight. The only downside is that there were flies flying around in the dining area, which affected the dining experience. I hope the restaurant can maintain better cleanliness. ”
“ We had a delicious dinner. A beautiful salad with duck prepared in different ways, followed by two flavours of ice-cream; walnut and plum brandy. Great service. ”
“ Came in October when most other places were closed. An absolute gem, really glad we stumbled across it. ”
“ Everything was delicious and well cooked. The salmon was perfect!!!! Everyone in our party raved about the perfection of that salmon. I Would love to learn how to cook a salmon like that. The waitress was nice and pleasant. This is one of the restaurants I would gladly return too. ”
“ A pretty nice restaurant. Revisited this restaurant for the Canard confit. It's the best as far as I'm concerned. Tried their new dish called the pork cheek. Looks pretty normal but it taste superb. It's soft and flavorful. Not regretting the choice. But one thing to take note is to call and make a reservation before arrival. It's always full! ”
“ We ate dinner here after touring the town of Rocamadour. It was pretty crowded at 7:30 and we had a reservation so we're seated right away at a high top table near the sidewalk. Plat du jour was well prepared and we enjoyed every dish. The server was friendly, but seemed to be stretched due to serving too many tables. It didn't affect us as we were not in a hurry. Nice outdoor seating area with a modern vibe. ”
