Restaurants:
There are a number of good restaurants serving quality food in the local area and in Limoges you will find a vast choice providing regional and foreign foods. In the restaurants the prices vary from 12euros to 35euros for table d'hote or à la carte. In our local auberges you will be treated to home-grown and bred produce and specialities of duck, fois gras, wild mushrooms, chestnuts and of course the Limousin beef and the Baronet lamb, all at a reasonable cost. In the locality we have a chateau serving the most wonderful gastronomic menu with fine wines to compliment the meal, a Hotel de France serving wondeful gastro and bistro meals, a pizzeria serving pizzas baked on the premises which also provides a take-away service and tabacs serving a quick moules et frites or oysters washed down with the local vin du pays. There is in fact something to suit everyone's taste and pocket, even a mobile 'fish and frites' van and you certainly won't be leaving any restaurant in France hungry!
