Very funny and kind chef / owner. We had a lovely wine that was recommended by him. Very nice atmosphere too on a hot summer night in the garden. The food was good but quite standard in a way. Could have been a bit better / more interesting in flavour combinations. For example the cheese platter was wonderful cheese and a few sour pieces of red fruit. I missed something sweet to pair it with, like some sweet grapes, compote, raisin bread or something, or maybe a glass of dessert wine as an option.

Read moreBeautiful small courtyard dining on a very warm May evening. The Chef/Proprietor welcomed us warmly (as he indeed did some 17 years ago on our first visit!) and as three tables all sat down around 8 pm, explained the menu.

Wine list is very limited, but when I explained what I was looking for, Chef produced a superb and very well priced Viognier from his own collection. A visit to Eymet is not complete without a visit to this special corner - there's nothing else quite like it in the town....
