Where to eat

bonappétit.

The southwest eats well and without hurrying. Here is where to eat near the château, and where to stock the kitchen of your gîte: village shops, country inns and a terrace facing Saint-Cirq across the valley.

Nearest first, with a rough drive time from the château. Book restaurants ahead where you can: the dining rooms are small, and most kitchens close between lunch and dinner.
