L'Escapade des Sens It's not just a restaurant in Thiviers

L'Escapade des Sens is not just a restaurant.

In 2020, during the closure due to Covid-19, they took some time to develop a few products that were close to their hearts:

Bees

L'Escapade des Sens has about fifteen beehives located in the towns of Thiviers and Nantheuil, producing spring honey, acacia honey, and summer honey. They use a large quantity of it in their recipes as a substitute for white sugar and in many sauces. It is also served as an accompaniment to their cheese platter.

You can also find it in their display case at the restaurant entrance. Ideal for your gourmet gift baskets, whether for yourself or as a present.

Their truffle orchard

The Périgord region, the birthplace of the black truffle, is the perfect place to establish a truffle orchard. They decided to create their orchard near the restaurant; it's an investment for the future, and they hope that in a few years they will be able to introduce their customers to truffle hunting and tasting their own truffles.

To achieve this, they planted more than 500 truffle trees on suitable land: holm oak, downy oak, cherry oak, hornbeam, pine…

Irrigation, truffle wells, pruning, seeding, they are doing everything possible to hope for a harvest in a few years.

Their herb garden

Committed to the freshness of their produce, they have cultivated a range of aromatic herbs in their various gardens. This allows them to add a touch of freshness to our plates at the last minute. Lemon thyme, sage, verbena, basil, bay leaf, dill, fennel, lovage … more than 40 different varieties grow throughout the year in their gardens.

Their walnut oil

Each year, they harvest several hundred kilos of walnuts under open-field walnut trees; after drying and shelling by us, the kernels are taken to the Moulin de Landry in Chanterac for the production of their walnut oil.

Their Escapade des Sens Pâtés

They have made several kinds of pâtés available all year round in their display case at the entrance of their restaurant:

• Rabbit pâté with tarragon and Espelette pepper
• Duck foie gras pâté with a minimum of 40% foie gras wrapped in a thin layer of pâté meat.
• Duck rillettes

Country pâté with Périgord ceps, of course!

The jams made by Escapade des Sens

Each year, according to the seasons and the available fruits, they make jams with ripe, seasonal fruits, not too much sugar, lots of flavor, and some surprising combinations that will delight you.
