Restaurant L'Abbaye

It’s disappointing when somewhere doesn’t live up to previous high expectations.We have visited L’Abbaye in previous years when on holiday in the Dordogne region. It is a long-ish drive from where we stay but that has always previously been worth the trip for the excellent meals we have enjoyed.However, after many years the owners are ready for retirement and the restaurant is up for sale – and unfortunately this shows n the overall experience that we had.A group of four of us arrived on a warn June evening and were given a table inside – nice enough but we would have preferred to eat in the patio area as previously. But I imagine it's easier for the couple to manage tables if everyone is si...

looking for a restaurant in the last minute, a Sunday evening, we call this establishment because we had received a visit card a few days earlier. effective reception on the phone: if you arrive immediately, there is still room. and if we hold the dog on a leash (to not disturb the cat of the house), it can accompany us.

The little girl took a pizza made at the minute and generous to wish. Br...

Our hosts were friendly and relaxed and we thoroughly enjoyed our visit. We hope to...

We arrived at L'Abbaye without reservations, on a Sunday evening, after a long day at Pech-Merle and Saint-Cirq-la Popie. We were dressed as one would expect after such an outing (very informally). We were greeted warmly, chose a nice rosé Sancerre, and began a very pleasant and relaxing dinner. We enjoyed two different menus in our party; both offered an array of fine choices. My own seafood casserole and filet of beef were tasty; the peach pie dessert was also well prepared. The terrace on a very warm evening was a perfect setting. We would definitely return.

We found the opinions too generous in relation to reality. the meal appeared too simplistic compared to the price (28 euros the menu).
