Restaurant Aux 3 Sens — Restaurant in Sarlat-la-Canéda

We celebrated our 30th Anniversary with a month in France and Switzerland. My wife and I enjoy French cuisine and since we're from California where foie gras is illegal, I eat is as often as possible when traveling, particularly in Sarlat la Caneda! I asked our concierge for the best French restaurants that are romantic and serve excellent foie gras and Aux 3 Sens was on their top list. We made reservations a few months in advance and were so glad we did! Of the many wonderful meals we had, particularly in France, we ranked them and Aux 3 Sens was in the top 3. The chef made a foie gras dish for me that consisted of only seared foie gras, my favorite. The meal was spectacular, the server happened to be a British ex pat and provided us with excellence at every step, guiding us through each course. Afterwards, the chef met us at our table and invited us for coffee downstairs in the wine cellar. Absolutely amazing dinner, service, and experience! If you're so fortunate to be in Sarlat, make sure Aux 3 Sens is on your list. Make...

Excellent food at a place just outside the busy center streets of Sarlat. There’s several menu’s that you can choose from, but ‘a la carte’ is possible too if you ask. We picked this restaurant because of its vegetarian options, but they actually have an entire 4 course vegetarian menu. We tasted the Risotto aux Cepes, the Picanha and the Falafel and all were exceptional. As for dessert, we tried the cheeses (great!) and a vanilla panna cotta (also great!)

With a party of 5 we spend about €30 per person for entree, dessert and something to drink. It’s a bit more on the expensive side, as it tries to fit the atmosphere of chique dining. I think a little bit more casual vibe would help this restaurant a lot

Servers were great as well, we had one that helped us in French, Spanish and English so we could switch to whichever we preferred.

We will go back if we are in...

This was a fairly enjoyable experience. The gentleman that assisted me throughout the evening was superb. He patiently explained dishes and wines to me in English (unfortunately my French is rather poor). I opted for the 3 course menu with amuse-bouche et buerre, foie gras du canard, beef ribs, and chocolate mousse. Eating this kind of service does take a couple hours - don't plan to eat quickly and move on. This is intended to be enjoyed with time. I have never had foie gras before, but always wanted to try it. I appreciated the opportunity to try it in three different preparations, and can happily say that I enjoy it in some forms and not others. Although this was a fine experience solo, I think it would be best enjoyed amongst others simply due to the long period of time. I would also recommend having a better command of French to fully enjoy...
