Best Dordogne Restaurants... Eating out is a part of the French way of life.   Don’t have a holiday in France without having a meal in a French restaurant.  Although there are many unusual French foods (frogs legs, snails, tête de veau etc.) you will find many foods that are a true delight!  And the Dordogne has some fantastic restaurants to choose from.
Which restaurant?  Try to find a restaurant that is targeted at French diners (French menus are a good clue!).  Don’t expect to find a fantastic restaurant in the major tourist destinations - here we would recommend something safe and straightforward such as pizza, crêpes etc..
Which time?  It’s often cheaper to eat at lunchtime and during the week.  Sunday lunch is always busy and it pays to book ahead.  In the evenings, don’t arrive too early - 7.30PM is often the earliest you can get served.
Which menu?  Don’t go for à la carte options.  Usually they have the same options as the menu prix fixe and they cost a lot more!  Avoid Menu Touristique like the plague!
Which wine?  Wine can be quite expensive if you go for named bottles.  But carafes of house white or red wine have usually been exquisitely selected by the restauranteur and are excellent value.  Refer to our wine section for more advice on wines in France.

Le Petit Paris
Le Bourg
24250 Daglan
Tel: 0(5) 53 28 41 10

Closed Mondays.  Book in high season as space is limited.

The village alone is reason enough to visit Daglan, with this charming restaurant an added bonus. It is in the centre of the village near the main square onto which tables spill out in the warmer months. There is no childrens’ menu listed, but if you ask they will obligingly let you know what is available and the price. All the food is very inventive and presentation first class; one of the children had lamb cooked in three different ways and another had a chocolate pudding ‘to die for’ (she is a bit of an expert on chocolate puddings).
