"We were taken here for lunch by local French people who had heard about it, so it was a first time experience for the four of us. This tiny restaurant is located inside a home in a small hamlet outside of Excideuil, France. We were greeted in the parking area by the owner and she walked us through a gate into a patio area and into the dining area. The ambiance is typical old Perigord with stone walls and timber ceilings. On the walls were photos of the grandparent's, parents and family weddings plus other interesting things. There are three large tables and everyday is a different menu, so it is "the meal of the day" of typical Perigord food. We were served an aperitif of a sparkling wine with some delicious nibbles. Then a soup of broth with egg and pieces of bread in it. The taste was quite good. Then came the salad with lettuce, hard boiled egg, duck, nuts, foie gras, tomatoes. Next was a chicken leg with cut up fried potatoes. The chicken was tough and dry but the potatoes were delicious. Next was the cheese plate of brie, another mild white cheese plus the "cheese of the house" which was homemade. By this time we are getting quite full, but then the dessert came out. It was a roasted pear with a flan-type of thing that was served in a rectangular dish you scooped it from. Very tasty. Then the coffee and we were so full we rolled out of there for 25 euros each. Imagine that! All of that homemade food and lots of it, for so little."
