Les Truffieres (Re-opened since May 2019)
‘Meet the world in an old tobacco barn with owner Yanick’
Les Truffieres is highly recommended because it’s a ‘one man orchestra’ where you will never be disappointed. In summer, between the herbs and vegetables, the garden is used as a dining experience. In the Winter, the head turning interior is cosy and warm, kept alight by the big fireplace. Local produce means it is from the neighbor; so fresher than fresh. Make a reservation because he only takes in 2 to 12 guests an evening. Special diets can be requested while making a reservation. There is no menu, but be happily surprised by the gastronomic ideas and taste. A wine collection is available. Reservations only.

Vin Quattre in Bergerac
Review and info soon to follow
Le Poquelin in Molieres
Picture a little market in a small bastide village. Right in the middle of the campagne in France. And then picture a little cafe were people meet and great, have a laugh and a drink (coffee, local wine, beer or cocktail) and you just want to be as happy as those people you see on that little French square at that little cafe. Well, truth should be told… You can be that person!
Recently, just 3,5 km down the road a small cafe/pub has opened and called Le Poquelin (as in the famous French poet/writer). In this cafe you can rest after a 45 minute walk from La Maison Louverie for a (good coffee culture) cappuccino or a draft beer. Wines are well sourced and from the region or international. A cocktail card is handed if you wish and they have a good menu, especially if you are tired of all the duck, the duck and the duck in the area. They have green food.. Even a vegan dish and their meat or cheese platers with your wine is just what the doctor ordered. Overall it is a perfect place to go for a drink, enjoy one of there theme nights, sunday roasts, fish&chips evenings, or just be one of the happy locals they play Petanque, enjoy the French sun and make some new friends. Highly recommended!

Banana bar in Mauzac
The name suggest a ‘crazy bar with no limits’ if you are from the Netherlands.. But on the contrary. This little corner place at a green patio with shady plantains and view on the Dordogne river is a secret to the people that know it. They serve fantastic cocktails, not too fancy, just as they are supposed to taste and look; good coffee, nice hot chocolate on Sunday afternoons and a very nice menu. On the black board they note the temperature of the exterior, the water of the Dordogne and their beer. What else could you want? In the summer this is the place were you want to have your romantic dinner. Away from all the hustle and bustle, traffic and people. It’s a serene place their on the terrace, under the big cooling leaves. But ssstt, let’s keep this place to ourselve..
