L'Attanum - Ludwik Crosnier — Restaurant in Limoges

Edit - revisited:

After 2023 we came back this year. We chose the same vacation rental, just to be close to this restaurant which we loved so much. We made a reservation a few weeks prior to our visit. Came here twice for lunch.

Owner and staff great as last time and in general the lunch was just impressive as the year before. Some of the best food we've ever had!

Had some Amuse Bouche: one with eggplant, a meatball and a delicious little fish cake. The second visit a cheese puff replaced to meatball. All made with love and the best ingredients. A great way to start the meal.

For starters we chose the Foie Gras Mi-cuit with cherry sauce and the salmon on puréed beetroot. Both excellent choices. The Foie Gras here is always impressive. On our second visit we had the same choices. We liked it so much.

For the mains the fish and the magret du canard (duck breast). On our second visit we both had the canard. The fish dish was wonderful. Fish cooked to perfection with great ingredients and sides. But it was the duck breast that stood out. I never liked duck breast. Gave it a try so many times. Again here, but this time I was blown away! The duck breast was divine. Cooked absolutely perfectly. Pink (close to red), juicy, tender. And with wonderful flavours. We both never had a piece of duck that was so perfectly made. Most impressive. If you ever try duck in your live, make sure you do it here. You will love it.

The desserts as well are a piece of art here. A combination of unlikely ingredients, but making a perfect match. A great way to end the meal.

Both lunches we had a bottle of white wine with the meal. Even with the duck it did go very well.

A really perfect place to lunch and dine. Inside or outside on the nice patio. Price was around 140 Euros - which is more than fair for this kind of high quality. We will definitely be back here.

First Visit:

This here is one of the very best lunch experiences we've ever had. And we've had many. But this here really stands out.

It's in a quiet part of town and has also a really nice terrace to lunch and dine one. We booked a table a few days before. A good idea, because the restaurant was pretty booked.

Got a nice table under the shade and our Bulldog was welcome as well. We chose the fixed price menu with 3 courses for a really good 45 Euros each. Also a nice bottle of wine. We both chose the Foie Gras de Canard mi-cuit for starters. The most wonderful, smooth and flavourful Foie. Fantastic start. For the mains we've had the Pintade (Guineafowl) with sides and the fish of the day. Both excellent meals. Taste-wise, but also absolutely stunning by the looks. The cook is a master of his art. The Guineafowl was lovely, really tender, cooked to perfection with nice flavours. Nice mash and veggies on the side. The fish was a wonderful surprise. Fish is easy to get in any restaurant, but is mostly a pretty boring affair. Not so here. The perfectly cooked fish was accompanied by beans. Sounds like an unlikely combination, but worked perfectly

For dessert we've had the abricots with mousse and ice cream. Also a hint of lavender. A great plate. Also the Mirabelles with chilled meringue and Praliné ice cream. This was one of the very best desserts we've had for a while.

Before the meal a generous Amuse-bouche was served and after desserts some kind of homemade marshmellows.

Really a perfect experience. Staff/owner were wonderful. Took care of us very well. We will definitely be back in town next year. Specifically to...

The restaurant has both indoor and outdoor seating both comfortable and spacious. I have eaten her several times and the quality of the food has always been fantastic. They focus on a seasonal menus sourcing everything from local suppliers. This ensures fresh and excellent food. The wine list is extensive with plenty of choice. From the small amuse bouche through to main course and deserts the focus on flavour flows throughout. They also source excellent seafood too. Try the Magret de canard if it is on the menu it was perfectly seasoned rich in flavour and a tribute to the skills...

Delicious food. Really very good thank you
