"Nice surprise. Family restaurant. Home made dishes, very tasty. Restaurant next to the river, very nice view."
After 2 hours of kayaking and swimming down the glorious Dordogne river my husband, 3 children and I stopped here for a drink and a snack. As we didn’t have enough cash to pay for this we asked if we could pay on a card...and were told that the restaurant was closed it was about 4pm but that we could order food from the kiosk and pay by card at the restaurant afterwards. This seemed great, so we ordered 5 Croque Monsieur, to be told by the young girl working in the kiosk that they didn’t have any left, only paninis with ham, so I quite happily ordered 5 paninis instead. She then had to leave the kiosk, walk up to the restaurant, and 5 minutes later came back with a box full of frozen wrapped...
Full Disclosure: we live in Monpazier 20 minutes from the restaurant and visit La Guinguette du pont de Vicq regularly. As a result, I can attest to the number of great meals we have enjoyed there on the banks of the Dordogne River. The setting...on the Dordogne River is beautiful and Mr and Mrs Zamperni are terriffic hosts and very patient with our French. The meals are freshly prepared and very tasty. We learned on our visit today that there is a spacious and well equiped wifi TV barbeque etc apartment suite, two bed rooms, living room and a private garden available for rent. It is adjacent to the restaurant and thus with the same great setting on the banks of the Dordogne River. A perfect...
In previous reviews, I have heralded the restaurant as a delightful place on the banks of the Dordogne River, It remains so. The food is freshly prepared a la Maison and is very tasty. I love the frites! best in the region. My wife enjoys...the Salad Bergere and I l'hamburger de la Maison. Frites partout. M. et Mme. Zamperini are very congenial hosts and remain patient with our halting French. The beach in front of the Restaraunt is partially shaded. Beverages ice creme etc are available from the restaurant and lunch/dinner when ready to move from the beach A perfect day along the Dordogne.

Restaurant advertises that it's open until 22.00 every day. Situated beside the river Dordogne next to the pont de vicq, very close to the pont de vicq campsite I used. Had a snack at lunchtime, burger and fries, nice snack and no too pricey, staff...were friendly and attentive, not too difficult as I was the only customer! I assume if the weather was better it would have been busy, also had an excellent evening meal there, had a steak which was good, and some acceptable wine.
We have been here twice on this trip as we are staying at pont de Vicq camping next door. We have returned because the reception we had from the lovely owners was so friendly on the first visit, and the meals were wonderful so decided...to come back. We were greeted like old friends on the second visit and chatted to the proprietors after our meals. Beautiful home prepared food and properly presented. I would highly recommend La Guingette.
We stopped for lunch while canoeing downriver , and spent min waiting for someone to take our order and another waiting for the started of the menu de jour. The couple that served us was totally inadequate, with the old guy in particular...quite unfriendly. we wish we had packed picnic with us instead. Such a waste of the nice location.
this reastraunt is next to the campsite and the river, a nice setting to have lunch. service was good, food was really nice, although no chose for a vegitarian not even fish so the wife had to settle for a plain omlette and chips, my...duck on the other hand was great. drinks at an average price.

I have eaten in restaurants all over the world and this is by far the most bad mannered and rude experience I have ever had to endure. I would strongly recommend never setting foot in this terrible restaurant. If trip adviser had a minus rating...I would have used this.
Nice surprise. Family restaurant. Home made dishes, very tasty. Restaurant next to the river, very nice view.
