Auberge de l' Espérance cahors — Restaurant in Cahors

Esperance means hope and you can expect to abandon all hope if you dare to visit this restaurant. I can confidently say that after 20 years of living in france this is the worst meal I have ever been expected to eat. There was no menu or choice so suffer what you are given.

Je vais régulièrement manger dans ce routier le midi en semaine avec des collègues. Pour le tarif d'un fast-food vous avez un menu complet (Entrée, plat, dessert, café inclu) Je n'ai jamais été déçu, ni par l'accueil ni par le menu.

C'est la bonne adresse du coin.

Popped in for dinner while staying nearby. There is no choice of menu but we were happy with that as no special dietary needs. €18 for 4 courses and local wine. Really friendly and prompt service. Location is basic but good local food...
