Privilège du Périgord — Restaurant in Bergerac

A quaint little bistro set about a small comfortable stone courtyard with nice Jazz music softly playing. The service is very efficient. The problem was the food, while the name suggest hearty Périgord fare, its more progressive fusion. A melon gazpacho soup served in a jar and drunk through a straw was 1,5 stars. Another entrée was fried fish balls that was good a 4,0 stars. The porc with gnocchi was slightly over cooked but still 4,2 starts as the sauce was excellent. A fish dish served with polenta was also good, again the sauce was excellent a 4,0. Unfortunately we also had a fish with pomegranate dish that was tasteless and made my wife feel queasy the rest of the day a 0,0 stars. The dessert for the midi meal, four tinny bites of chocolate Brownie was also lacking, but the cheesecake...

We visited this lovely town on a Saturday and noticed this pretty restaurant on our way in towards the market. We were lucky to get a table even tho we walked in at 12noon, as obviously it’s a favourite with locals who had booked. We had the menu de midi @ €23 which was great value and beautifully presented, along with a 500cl carafe of house rose. The kirs aperitifs took the bill to €80 in total, which we felt was excellent value. The place was packed by 1pm, definitely book to secure a table. Madame hostess...

Such a nice surprise in our trip. The restaurant with his little patio reminds me these divine restaurants hidden in Tuscany but with the French features. The service was very nice, fast and friendly. The presentation was fabulous, the taste and everything outstanding level. We loved every single detail and I had one of my best experiences in France. Amazing price for the high standards that they deliver. Definitely highly recommend...
