Centrally located in the town the restaurant has a pleasant eating area in an enclosed space in the open air. The owner/waiter was very efficient but lacked a bit of humour. The wines were rather pricey as was the final bill of 40 plus euros per person. I chose steak for my plat principal and was bitterly disappointed. I noticed the owner cringing when I asked for it to be cooked rare and he asked if everything was all right before I'd even tasted it. It was not rare, it was tough and the gristle and fat amounted to more than half its weight. He could see that when he cleared our plates. I should have complained, but I didn't want to embarrass my fellow diners. They, on the other hand, were...
This is our first visit but it wont be our last! It was recommended by friends and we would be happy to recommend it too. We had the weekday set menu, a choice of three starters (onion soup, gesier salad, samosas I had these and they were delicious , two options for main (salmon or guinea fowl then a choice of either cheese or dessert (profiterols or cream/ice cream/merangue and cherries fab it was too! all for 16 euros. Very impressed with the service, the food and the restaurant ambiance.
Discovered La Citronelle by chance after persuading my family against the local 'transport cafe ' for dinner. What a wonderful find, the food was absolutely exquisite, service impeccable and the atmosphere absolutely delightful. The British owner and chef really impressed, we ate early and by the time we were leaving it was full. Great children 's menu as well as an a la carte menu that cannot be faulted. Would highly recommend.
We visit this area often as we have family near by, we eat here almost every. Time as the food is excellent, as is the service, I had the swordfish which was cooked perfectly moist and tender, not over cooked as it often an be, we all had a different meal and every one of us enjoyed it immensely, can wait to go back

Ate here on a wet and drizzly day last week lovely old building in centre of the town comfortable and cosy restaurant and great food. Service was excellent and friendly meal (although the standard daily 'menu ' was very good and the restaurant was quite busy always a good sign. Pleased to recommend this restaurant
We have been to the La Citronelle many times. Lunch set menue is 16 Euros, always very good food,and very good value, beautifully presented, Paul the owner is a pleasure to chat to. Beautiful surroundings. Will be going back, good service. If visiting Riberac it's a must!
Able to eat in garden which was charming. Well thought out menu charmingly served. Part English owner but the restaurant loses nothing by this.
