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 covid-19 shutdown, they took time to develop a few products that are close to their hearts:

The bees

L'Escapade des Sens has around fifteen beehives located in the towns of Thiviers and Nantheuil. They produce spring honey, acacia honey, and summer honey. They use a large amount of it in their recipes to replace white sugar and in many sauces. It also serves as an accompaniment to their cheese platter.

You can also find it in their window display at the restaurant entrance. Ideal for your gourmet gift boxes to give as a gift or to treat yourself.

Their truffle ore

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

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

Irrigation, truffle wells, pruning, sowing, they are doing everything to hope for production in a few years.

Their aromatic garden

Committed to the freshness of their products, they have developed 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 are found throughout the year in their gardens.

Their walnut oil

Every year, they harvest several hundred kilos of walnuts from open-field walnut trees. After drying and de-nutting by us, the kernels are taken to the Moulin de Landry in Chanterac to make their walnut oil.

Their Senses Escapade Pâtés

They have made several types of pâtés available all year round in their window at the entrance to 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 rillette

Country pâté with Périgord porcini mushrooms of course!

Every year, they make jams with ripe, seasonal fruit, depending on the seasons and available fruit. Not too much sugar, lots of flavor, and some surprising combinations will delight you.
