What about other restaurants in the area?  We know Gindreau and La Recreation but our 'more rustic' (i.e. cheaper and heartier) restaurant experiences have been further north.  Any recommendations will be welcome.  Much as I like cooking, I don't want to have to do it EVERY day!   Sas      Report

As for other restaurants in the area, La Casserole in Salviac has menus at 21 and 26 euros, and is very good.  Also the Abbey Nouvelle (between Gourdon and Salviac), especially in the summer when eating on the terrace.  Another favourite is on the road between Cenac and Sarlat, on the left hand side, just past the huge shop selling garden pots.  It's the Pres..something or other, sorry I can't remember the actual name. For something a little cheaper, the Auberge sans Frontière at Degagnac is always worth a visit. Or L'Oasis, near to Espere is good for morrocan/algerian food. For a really cheap, traditional type meal, the Auberge du Quercy in Salviac serves a four course set lunch during the week for 11 euros (including all the wine you can drink).  It's where all the locals eat,  is lively and fun, and very welcoming. Hope this helps.   Cathy Sun, sun, sun, here it comes...    Report

Never eaten there but have heard it's OK. Despite its name we have been to 'Curry Brian' a number of times. Really high quality, good food, highly recommended. L'Oasis is in Nuzejouls. We also like L'Auberge in Catus for spanish-influenced local style dishes.  Happy eating! Jane  specialist flute repair    Report

Can't remember the names of others in the same area - suggest you select any one of them that is busy. How far N will you go ?

I agree about the Auberge de Quercy in Salviac - it's where I take visitors for a genuine French experience. Hoddy    Report

Jane From what John-not-Di says it sounds just as well! We also used to go to Chez Silvestre at Bouzic, but Mme Silvestre dealt out such hearty portions that for the sake of the car's suspension, we've not been back for a while! When we eventually move in we will be half way between Souillac and Cahors. We've noticed lots of restaurants around that we haven't tried yet, chilli fix apart (OH is going to brush up on his Indian cookery skills).  There are two on the N20 just north of Cahors - La Garenne and I can't remember the other one.  There are a couple on the back road to Rocamadour in Logis (At Cales??), there's another Logis at Pont de Rhodes and then there's the Pheasant Plucker's (what's that???). All your comments and suggestions are very welcome.  Maybe one day soon we'll meet some of you in one of them! Sass (PS Jane, I've sent you a PM on another subject)    Report

Has any one tried Cafe'-restaurant de la Terrasse in Grezels? it has been highly recommended by freinds but as yet we have not managed to grace them with our presence.   Sunshine    Report

The meal was really nice though, Nann bread lovely and my son adored his Chicken Korma and my Lamb Biriani was lovely. I did go the the Chinese off the roundabout, by the Irish pub.  It was a nice Chinese, but I have had better. Hope this Helps. Lavender    Report
