    • Restaurant de Laugerie Basse, an unusual place to enjoy a delicious meal in the Périgord Noir

      This is an address you won't soon forget! Nestled beneath the rock overlooking the Vézère River, the Laugerie Basse restaurant tells a story steeped in history, thanks to the Jugie family, who have owned the property since 1860. In 1947, they decided to open a gourmet establishment showcasing local produce, and they succeeded. Enjoy a unique culinary experience in this troglodyte restaurant in Les Eyzies, between Montignac-Lascaux and Sarlat.

    We stopped to visit the caves and there's a small restaurant right next door where we had a quick bite to eat. The staff were very friendly and attentive. Highly recommended.

    Excellent restaurant! We were a party of five (two adults and three children). The staff were very friendly and the food was delicious. The children's menus were fantastic (sausages and pâté for starters, duck or steak for the main course, and a crepe or ice cream for dessert). For adults, there were several platters featuring regional specialties (duck breast, duck legs, foie gras, cheese platter, etc.) of high quality! The setting is lovely (a terrace with a beautiful view and a cave-like interior). If we're ever back in the area, we'll definitely return!

    4 / 5 Reviews posted by bill J (Charing, United Kingdom) on 22/12/2023

    Good basic French country cooking; they've been doing the same thing since 1947. We enjoyed the 'home cooked' lunch in a friendly atmosphere. And all at a very reasonable price you could afford...
