Eating in Sarlat
Sarlat is stuffed with restaurants that cater to tourists, but you can still dine well and
cheaply. The following places have been reliable; the last is the most formal. If you have a
car, consider driving to Beynac (see here ) or La Roque-Gageac ( here ) for a riverfront din-
ing experience. Wherever you dine, sample a glass of sweet Monbazillac wine with your
foie gras.
La Mirandol is a popular place for budget cuisine, with reasonable salads, plats du
jour, and €16-29 menus (daily, a block off Rue de la République at 7 Rue des Consuls, tel.
05 53 29 53 89).
Chez le Gaulois is a change from the traditional places that line Sarlat's lanes.
Pyrenees-raised Olivier serves a hearty mountain cuisine featuring fondue, raclette, tar-
tiflette (roasted potatoes mixed with ham and cheese—comes with a good salad for €14),
and thinly sliced ham (Olivier spends all evening slicing away). Ask about the daily spe-
cial and trust their advice. They have a few sidewalk tables, but the fun is inside and the
service is English-fluent. The ceiling is cluttered with ham hocks, and the soundtrack is
jazz (good salads, try la tarte au figues (fig tart) for dessert, daily April-Oct, Nov-March
closed Sun-Mon, near the TI at 1 Rue Tourny, tel. 05 53 59 50 64).
Brasserie le Glacier offersgreatmain-squareviewsfromitsoutdoortablesandgood
café fare at reasonable prices nonstop from 11:00-22:00. Come here for good service; a
big salad, pizza (€10), or plat (€12); and a view of the lights warming the town buildings
(daily, Place de la Liberté, tel. 05 53 29 99 99, also rents rooms—see “Sleeping in Sarlat,”
earlier).
La Fourchette Verte serves vegetable-centric meals and local brews at reasonable
prices in a pleasant indoor setting along a busy street (lunch daily except Sun, dinner Fri-
Sat only, 23 Avenue Gambetta, tel. 05 53 28 51 24).
Le Bistro de l'Octroi, a few blocks north of the old town, has to provide top cuisine
and competitive prices to draw locals—and it does. Quality bistro fare (mostly meat
dishes) is served on a generous garden terrace and within the warm interior (€20-30 three-
course menus, daily, 111 Avenue des Selves—for location see map on here , tel. 05 53 30
83 40).
