Home-style cooking inspired by local produce

Located in the heart of Cadouin, in the Périgord Noir region, the establishment showcases 100% homemade cuisine, prepared using organic, local, and sustainably sourced ingredients.

Each dish reflects the rhythm of the seasons and the expertise of local producers.

A responsible approach based on short supply chains

The Restaurant at the Auberge de Cadouin is driven by a genuine commitment to sustainable food.

Under the guidance of chefs Jean-Marc Mouillac, Florence Nicot, and Laurent Dauriac, the menu prioritizes locally grown or raised products. This approach promotes better traceability, reduces transportation, and showcases the agricultural bounty of the Périgord region.

The restaurant collaborates with numerous local producers to offer a menu consistent with the region's resources. This philosophy also allows the menus to evolve according to harvests and availability, respecting seasonality.

Menus that follow the seasons

The Auberge de Cadouin restaurant operates on a simple principle: cooking with what nature offers at the right time. The menus therefore change regularly to reflect local produce.

The restaurant offers a flexible daily menu, consisting of a choice of starters, main courses (including a vegetarian option), and desserts. This approach allows them to maintain a high level of freshness in their products while minimizing food waste.

On weekends or by reservation, more traditional recipes complement the menu. Specialties inspired by Périgord family cooking naturally find their place on the menu: confit lamb, mique (a type of bread), roast meats, or old recipes revisited with seasonal products.
