    • HOTEL *** RESTAURANT LE MOULIN DE MITOU: A GOURMET DINING EXPERIENCE IN THE HEART OF THE PÉRIGORD NOIR

      A restaurant nestled in a natural setting

      In the heart of the Périgord Noir region, a stone's throw from Montignac-Lascaux and the famous Lascaux IV cave, the Moulin de Mitou stands out as much for its setting as for the quality of its cuisine. This former mill, transformed into a charming hotel, houses a traditional restaurant where guests come as much for the food as for the peaceful atmosphere.

      Nestled in a green environment, crossed by the murmur of the La Laurence river, the establishment offers a true parenthesis out of time, ideal for a gourmet stopover or an extended stay.


      Simple, refined cuisine rooted in local traditions

      Under the direction of Christophe, owner and head chef, the restaurant offers traditional and refined cuisine, inspired by the riches of the Périgord region and seafood.

      The dishes showcase carefully selected products, prepared with simplicity and precision to preserve their authenticity. Here, there is no excess, but a constant search for balance between taste, season, and culinary emotion.

      Take your taste buds on a journey to the heart of the Périgord Noir: the local flavors and the chef's inspirations will delight both lovers of generous cuisine and gourmets in search of finesse.


      Menus that change with the seasons

      The Moulin de Mitou restaurant offers evolving menus, regularly updated according to the seasons, available ingredients, and the chef's inspiration. The menus shown on the website are therefore only a snapshot of the current offerings and are presented for informational purposes only.

      This approach guarantees a constantly renewed experience, faithful to the natural rhythm of the products and local markets.

      The restaurant is open every evening of the week, and only on Sunday at lunchtime, in order to maintain a work rhythm focused on the quality and freshness of the dishes.


      A warm atmosphere in every season

      In winter, guests can enjoy a warm and inviting dining room, where the fireplace creates a cozy and inviting atmosphere. It's the perfect place for an intimate dinner, a business lunch, or a relaxing break after a day of exploring.

      As soon as the weather warms up, the outdoor terrace becomes a real asset. Surrounded by greenery and filled with the scents of the garden, it allows you to enjoy a meal in the heart of nature, in a soothing, typically Périgord setting.


      An ideal place for all occasions

      The Moulin de Mitou welcomes all moments of life:

      • candlelight dinners
      • meals with friends or family
      • business lunches
      • gastronomic stops during a stay in the Dordogne

      The friendly atmosphere and attentive service make it a popular choice for those seeking an authentic and unpretentious experience.


      A hotel-restaurant focused on hospitality

      Alongside Christophe, Fatima ensures a warm and welcoming reception for guests. Together, they cultivate a family atmosphere that makes Moulin de Mitou a place where you quickly feel at home.

      The establishment also offers stays tailored to professionals, with stopover packages and an equipped meeting room, in a calm and work-friendly environment.


      Things to discover around the Mitou Mill

      The restaurant is also an ideal starting point for exploring the treasures of the Périgord Noir. Nearby, Montignac-Lascaux attracts prehistory enthusiasts, while Les Eyzies reveals an exceptional archaeological heritage.

      Terrasson and its historic bridge, Thenon and its hilly landscapes, or the villages of Bars and La Chapelle-Aubareil offer a complete immersion in an authentic and preserved region.


      A table in tune with the rhythm of Périgord

      With its local cuisine, soothing natural setting and warm hospitality, the Moulin de Mitou restaurant embodies the spirit of the Périgord Noir in its most sincere form.

      An ideal address to combine gastronomic discovery and exploration of the surrounding tourist treasures, in an environment where time seems suspended.

    A true haven of peace and relaxation for a weekend getaway. A charming hotel with thoughtful decor perfectly suited to its surroundings. The room is spacious, clean, and comfortable. A special touch: the bathroom with a hydromassage shower. The grounds are magnificent, filled with flowers and trees. There's a superb swimming pool, and the jacuzzi can also be reserved. As for the food, it's excellent, with high-quality service and delicious ingredients. We wholeheartedly recommend this establishment.
