The Petrocorri were a Gallic people who settled in the Dordogne – a sign that the chef is proud of his roots. This pleasant venue in the historical heart of Périgueux, beneath century-old arcades, is the chef’s brainchild. He rolls out a two-pronged concept, with a bargain bistro-style lunch, and a more elevated fine dining menu with several courses in the evening. The contemporary, meticulously plated food takes local ingredients and tweaks them ever so slightly, like his black pork of Périgord with black beans and garlic condiment.
