Les Jardins d’Harmonie, Sarlat
Fresh Périgordine produce prepared and cooked with flair and imagination. The hot ticket in a city with a huge choice of tables.
Summer dining on the terrace is a must at this Relais et Châteaux establishment which gets five-star Trip Advisor reviews.
Les Glycines, Les Eyzies-de-Tayac
Refined, contemporary dining with an emphasis on local ingredients gives this former relais de poste its reputation.
People come here for a special lunch or dinner. Eric Vidal has held his Michelin star since 2008.
