Les machicoulis — Restaurant in Sarlat-la-Canéda

Best dining experience in a good while! Wonderful staff, breathtaking view (we had our table near the edge of the seating area where the view was best) and of course amazing food.

We had the menu with a warm goat cheese salad with walnuts and honey as a starter, then as our main course the duck leg with fried potatoes (confit de canard), and as dessert both the crème brulée and the nut pie (tarte aux noix).

The salad was refreshing and had just the right amount of bite because of the tangy balsamic dressing, which was a nice contrast to the soft creaminess of the goat cheese on toast, the duck leg was roasted to perfection with crispy skin, a good amount of fat, and potatoes that were so tasty I could've honestly eaten a plate of only those and been a very happy customer. The desserts were magnificent, the crème brulée had a dash of almond flavor which complimented the creaminess of the custard really well, and the nut pie reminded me a lot of pecan pie, just with assorted nuts, it was served slightly warm and had the most decadent, yummy filling.

All in all the perfect closure to our fun day at Castle Chateau Castelnaud!...

A tastefully renovated and romantic restaurant with a great view over Castelnaud area valley. I believe the restaurant in this incarnation is new and the passion for the local produce, wine and other drinks can be felt from the young owners. We had the 3 course dinner with a wine recommended from the owner. The food was nice and interesting and the wine was a local Bergerac low intervention organic blended red which had a very interesting minerality and flint aspect to it that we all enjoyed for its unique character. We were a potentially challenging group of 8 including 2 young children with basic french language skills but the owners were very accommodating and made us feel at ease. While there is room for improvement im still giving it 5 stars because I did love it and there is a difference between having a great experience and it being perfect. This is their first review and I would like to see them do well. Thanks for the...

Started with a nice local beer from an artisan brewery, trout gravadlax then beef with lentils and a lovely mustard based butter with paprika sauce. Our children had the goat's cheese croque monsieur and the confit de canard. The house Bergerac was lovely, going well with the beef. We had a pudding based on nuts and caramel from the menu - I can't remember exactly but it was delicious...The welcome was friendly and engaging, they speak English if your French is rusty. If there was one thing that could be improved it was that there was a long wait after the main course - they were very busy then. Its in a lovely setting with a figuier on the terrace and views of the valley and the castle. We would go back...
