La Mangeoire

In this picturesque Lot village, the traveller cannot fail but notice the handsome limestone edifice with a slate roof, flanked by a terrace and Belle Époque conservatory. The globe-trotting chef demonstrates a weakness for exotic combinations: velvety, humus-like aubergines, burnt rye bread, fried Camus artichoke and pork fillet dried in the hearthplace; lightly seared secreto pata negro pork with peanuts and ginger, roast fennel and whole wheat noodles. Bistronomic in style, internationally sourced and strewn with tributes to Asia and North African spices.
