    • 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 about fifteen beehives installed in the town of Thiviers and Nantheuil, they produce spring honey, acacia honey and summer honey. They use a large quantity of it in their recipes to replace white sugar and in many sauces. It also serves as an accompaniment to their cheese plate.

      You can also find it in their window at the entrance to the restaurant. Ideal for your gourmet boxes to offer or to treat yourself.


      Their truffle ore

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

      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, seeding, they are doing everything they can 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 cross paths throughout the year in their


      Their walnut oil

      Each 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 Pâtés from the Escapade des Sens

      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 at least 40% foie gras wrapped in a thin layer of pâté flesh.
      • Duck rillettes

      Country pâté with Périgord porcini mushrooms of course!



      Jams made by Escapade des Sens

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

    The Escapade of the Senses is a sure bet in the Périgord Vert: often local and seasonal produce, tasty and original dishes, aromatic herbs and honey produced by the chef, pleasant and helpful service, careful presentation, more than reasonable value for money... In short, it's always a real pleasure for us to spend a meal there. Important point: the team adapts as best as possible to each person's specific needs. For example, I'm a vegetarian, and there's no specific menu or dish on the menu, but they always find a way to concoct a delicious meal for me with what they have available, one that rivals the neighbors' dishes. Here, for example, in the photo, is a perfect egg accompanied by chanterelle mushrooms and other marvels from the chef.

    A great restaurant with excellent, refined cuisine and beautiful presentation. A feast for the eyes, but I recommend you go there if you're hungry. You won't be disappointed, on the contrary. You'll be amazed by the sheer joy of it all. Very, very good, nothing to complain about. Everything is top-notch.

    Once again chef Nicolas Cousinou enchanted us with a delightful lunch. We had the duck tartare and the duck foie gras mi cuit as starters folllowed by slow cooked brisket and filet steaks, all delicious and beautifully presented, We finished with cheese and the legendary chocolate sphere. We are only too thankful to have such a great place nearby and of course we will be back soon.
