Auberge de Layotte

First, we were unable to eat at this restaurant, so this is not a review on the food. I'm sure it is wonderful based on what locals and tourists all say AND the fact that you have to prebook months in advance in order to eat here. We pre booked our reservation several months in advance with the owner via email. He responded promptly to my request and after back and forth emails, we figured out a date and time that worked for us and his restaurant. I then emailed the owner a week or two before our arrival to confirm the reservation. This time, I did not receive a reply.

We managed to get a lunch reservation (all foreseeable evenings were fully booked). It's an adventure to actually get there via the signposts (mainly ignoring the satnav) and the bumpy track before walking down to an old style inn. The outside and inside already tickled my visual senses and the other senses were served during the meal. What an experience it was! Everything is in abundance and I could just imagine people eating the same food several hundreds years ago when it was also a place to eat. Make sure you find out the story behind the inn and the menu - it's worth it and you'll appreciate your experience all the more. What a fabulous end to our stay in the Dordogne!

This is a must go to restaurant everything you eat and most of the drinks are grown or killed by the chef,who is a very pleasant host.Five courses or more I lost count but all the food was exceptional a delight to look at and many people photographed the plates of food as they came out.At 35€ I think this great value.Will visit again

We had Sunday lunch at Auberge de Layotte and had a wonderful meal. It was a menu of traditional Périgueux offerings and everything was outstanding. We were very happy with the service as well as the food. Thank you for a wonderful meal.
