Chez Minou — Restaurant in Bergerac

My husband and I recently visited your establishment on May 11, 2025 for dinner, having chosen your restaurant after exploring dining options in the area. Upon our arrival, we noted the lively and busy atmosphere outside, which suggested a popular dining destination. We were promptly seated by a hostess who provided menus, took our drink order, and informed us that our server would attend to us shortly. Our server subsequently arrived to take our order. We requested two chicken Caesar salads and a plate of linguine Neapolitan to share. We found the chicken Caesar salads to be excellent, with a perfect balance of dressing and cheese. We enjoyed the pleasant atmosphere while we savored our meals and drinks. Approximately thirty minutes after finishing our salads, as our shared pasta dish had not yet arrived and we were no longer hungry, I attempted to request the bill from our server. As visitors from Canada, I confess my French language skills are limited, and I encountered some difficulty communicating my request. The server's demeanor during this interaction appeared dismissive, and she seemed to struggle to understand my request. After some effort, she eventually comprehended and departed without acknowledgment. Despite the restaurant being busy, we observed our server attending to other tables and assisting other patrons and ignoring us. Approximately ten minutes later, our bill was presented to our table in an abrupt manner. When the server returned, I informed her that the pasta dish had not been served. She proceeded to the kitchen and returned to inform us that the pasta was now ready if we still desired it. Given that we had completed our salads and drinks at least thirty minutes prior, we declined the offer, reiterating our request for the bill. The server again departed without a word, processed the payment, and returned to place the bill on our table, which we found to be an excessive amount. While this particular interaction with our server was disappointing, we wish to commend the rest of your staff for their courteous and attentive service throughout our visit. The quality of the food we received was also excellent. We believe that the professionalism and attentiveness of service staff are paramount, particularly when assisting international visitors who may face language barriers. We hope this feedback can be used to ensure consistent service standards...

Had a great afternoon meal here, we had a large group and the restaurant catered for our needs well. (Please note: we did pre book the night before and it is recommended, even more so if you would like an evening meal)

The pizzas were fantastic, with lots of different options to choose from. There was also other Italian dishes and classic French dishes. Personally, I had the Confit De Canard which was lovely, the duck was very nicely cooked with crispy skin and the fries was lovely too.

I would recommend here, it is quite lively especially in the evenings so do...

Nous y sommes allés les yeux fermés, nous basant sur les précédents avis. Résultat nous sommes extrêmement déçus. Fervents de bistrots aux quatre coins de la france, meme dans les campagnes les plus reculées. Celui de montpazier accueille beaucoup de monde, pour autant, l’accueil n’est pas chaleureux comme les gens le témoignent. Les serveuses nous accueillent d’une attitude hautaine, un sourire forcé qui, s’éteint aussitôt le dos tourné. Peut-être la fatigue, la lassitude du monde….soit, mais quand même!! Les repas, pizza bien maigre, ……un petit morceau de saumon fumé au milieu de roquette et de tomate cerises. Le magret de canard rien à dire, cuisson parfaite. Le dessert, crème brûlée très bonne, une coupe glacée « burifo », glace à la poire sur une eau de vie de poire….a bannir. Une boule de glace qui se noie dans une eau de vie de très mauvaise qualité. Dessert à 8€ sans aucune présentation ni décor (pas de chantilly ou autre décor de dessert glacé) N’hésitez pas à venir y manger si vous aimez les repas de cantine !!! Un seul qualificatif pour nous, qui ne sommes vraiment pas difficile : vraiment mauvais. Ce qui sauve le bistrot c’est son emplacement touristique indéniable, c’est honteux pour tous les autres qui se situent...
