Restaurant Ecureuil — Restaurant in Bergerac

Best coffee we have EVER had in France and a delicious cozy cafe too

Such a comfortable, relaxing, easy bilingual place to be. Within a few visits they were treating us like we were friends/family instead of just tourists in town for a while and it was soon our daily trips were one of the best parts of our days.

This is our 7th trip to France, and we've been all over, so when I say it is seriously the BEST coffee we've had in the whole country, I mean it. They know their coffee and the coffee countries and get organic beans imported and roast them locally. The milk is local for the lattes. The freshly squeezed juices are as good as anywhere.

The owners and various friends drop by to play flamenco and classical guitar in the quiet moments, and a fun mix of old and new, world and mainstream music otherwise.

There are excellent pancakes with real Canadian maple syrup.

My children and I paid the 25 euros for our drinks and a pancake, and left. His rudeness has stayed...

We had a shocking experience here today. The waiter was incredibly rude to an English family sitting next to us. They we’re complaining rightly that they had waited a long time for their order and the waiter spoke to them in french, swearing in french, which we were able to understand. When we challenged him he was very rude to us and told us he didn’t want us to come to the restaurant again. My daughter went inside and spoke to the senior person there who was indifferent to the issue. We were told that he was tired. Suffice to say none on our party of 10 will go...
