"This unassuming restaurant has apparently been operating in this little town for 65 years. To me, it had the feeling of a locally loved establishment, full of regulars but still welcoming to travelers who had sought it out as a destination. We walked up just as the wait staff were finishing their lunch on the patio, grabbed the first table outside, and the place was full 15 minutes later.By this time in my week in Dordogne, I had decided to lean in to the local specialty dishes, so I ordered the very typical duck gizzard salad, which sounds odd to me but was delicious. One thing this restaurant did that set their duck gizzard salad apart was to wrap up a big dollop of Rocamadour cheese (the restaurant is very close to Racamadour, after all) inside a crepe and deep fry it, then serve that on top of the salad. It was wonderful, and went really well with the gizzards and the raspberry vinaigrette-like dressing.Next up was the duck leg confit, which was perfectly done. I had this dish elsewhere during our trip, and it was okay there, but was more like duck meat wrapped in a layer of fat. At Chez Ernestine, they achieved the perfect result where the fat mostly just works its way into the meat, with enough to create a crispy seal around the leg. This was the best duck leg confit I had all week in Dordogne. I wish I had had the chance to go back. Had I done so, I should probably have tried some other dishes, but I would have just ordered the same thing. It was really good.I don't recall there being much of a choice with dessert in whichever formula I had ordered, but I got the walnut cake, which is also typical of the region. I wasn't very excited about this, as I had never liked the walnut cake before. I mean, I had always eaten it when I got it, but always wished I could just have some salted caramel ice cream instead. Chez Ernestine's walnut cake redeemed the dish in my mind. I finally understood what it was meant to be. (The cake itself was too dry at other places, which no amount of cream will fix entirely.)Overall, we had a great dining experience. If we go back to that region, I will seek out this restaurant again."

Fantastic food and service, child friendly and warm reception. Would have loved to have spent more time but we were on a quick drive through. We will be back

I'd describe this lunch as functional--the service was ok but not very friendly--we sat outside which is very close to the road. I found the food ok but not as good as other reviewers but wouldn't go here again
William
Unfriendly service. Very impolite! Hundreds of flies around the food! I prefer not to think about the ones in the kitchen. Their answer was "this is natural and clean"???????????? Food not even average. I do NOT recommend! Ver carta

The food at this establishment is exceptional along with the service which is first class.The room is inviting and you can also eat on the terrace and watch the world go by.There are many restaurants in Alvignac but I rate this one the best. Well worth a visit.

This charming restaurant combines a nice atmosphere with good service and good local French food. I had the 19.59 Euro menu, and was not disappointed. The servers were gracious and efficient, even though the restaurant was full. Reservations are strongly recommended, since it Is a very popular place. The menu offers many choices. Overall a very good experience!

We arrived quite late and near closing time, about 9:40.... but they were still happy to serve us and promptly found us a lovely table. We decided on a simple omelette. ...omelette Rocamadour. ..... WOW best I've had in France. Perfectly cooked and included a huge salad with walnuts etc. and home made chips.Our waiter spoke perfect English and was still very attentive even at the end of long hot busy day.Highly recommended will definitely eat at Chez Ernestine again. Thank you Ver carta

You can't fault the restaurant in any respect. From our first contact where we were able to book a table in English via email. They responded very quickly and the table was booked on a busy National Holiday for restaurants.Everything was perfect from the moment we arrived and enjoyed the Menu de Source, which offers all the local foods to the area. Which you could not in any way.After a short period of time the restaurant was completely full. So in the summer I would expect a booking might be essential as Alvignac is only 5 miles from busy Rocmadour.

Stopped here with friends for lunch. They were accommodating for our group of 8 and we mostly chose the local menu at €19.50 for three courses (variations available for starter / main and main / dessert). Our friends had the tomato / mozzarella salad 'revisited' and said it was the best that they had tasted (and they've been to a few *very* good places). For me it was the duck leg confit that I most enjoyed - really well done without being overly complicated. Overall, a great menu, albeit of limited choice, and mixed with a very friendly reception, I'd whole heartedly recommend this restaurant.
