She is Canadian and he’s Belgian and after trying their hand at several trades, they have finally settled in Lectoure in a steep street near the village cathedral. Their loft-inspired dining room boasts a high ceiling and the bare stone walls and rafters are admirably paired with handsome contemporary furnishings. They regale diners with creative, healthy, unpretentious food that shines the spotlight on regional producers as well as on aromatic herbs, fermented spices and citrus fruits. A bijou eatery if ever there was, particularly as the prices are so eater friendly. Natural wines take pride of place on the wine list.
