Unlike some traditional French cooking this chef is light handed with creams and sauces but produces exceptional meals. Vegetables were beautifully handled as were the meats. Everything was in balance and oh! so beautiful in the tasting. The wait staff were good, the sommelier fantastic in matching the wines and obviously enjoyed his work. The whole experience over three nights was something to remember. We also enjoyed the fact that not every course was preceded by a detailed description of ingredients and how the dish was prepared. Most of us know how food is composed and cooked (some French language is a help). I think everyone should look for one Michelin star restaurants because they try really hard and are not caught up in too much of the traditional way of preparing food.

Cold dishes, rare surprises, unpassionate waiters, switched menus although confirmed at the reservation, special cutlery... arriving AFTER the meal has been served... everything is there to eat when you have to, but NOTHING to account for a Michelin star! Lots of better restaurants in Périgord !
