Sometimes unexpected and unplanned meetings are the best and most memorable. Such was my meeting with L’Auberge de Ravilhon. We had gone on a tour of castles and historical sites in Sarlat. However, the children were hungry and wanted us to find a restaurant first and then look around. We peeked into a small alley that ran off the main street and I liked the tablecloths outside. Going inside, I hear the music and I realize that this is my place, exactly what I was looking for. Read on to find out why I think so.

 See ….

…. L’Auberge de Ravilhon is located in an old building, the interior is impressive – a combination of antiquity and hipster modernity, but much more moderate than the antiquity. The walls are made of limestone bricks well known in the region, the ceiling is joists. On the second floor there are white tablecloths, downstairs it is more informal for lunch or breakfast;

…. For lunch, the menus are on sheets and you can think that the food is ordinary, but it was not even close to that – everything sounded great, looked and tasted very nice.

 Feel ….

The rating of the restaurant is quite low on Tripadvisor, as well as on Google Maps, but I hasten to note that the latest reviews are from a long time ago. So, a newer review, from this year, is more authoritative as credibility. Reading what is written about the service, I am almost certain that there was a change in ownership, because I did not notice anything that those people were complaining about.

…. The staff is energetic young people – everything happens very quickly, you don’t miss anything, they offer you wine as soon as your glass is empty.

Hear ….

…. The music is great – it was it that persuaded me I was in the right place – modern funk, soul and jazz.

Movie watching time: 1:30 min.

 

Smell ….

…. A simple omelette made with mushrooms had such a great aroma that I wondered if I hadn’t mistaken the order when I took Coq o vin, but when the rooster came and I smelled it, I realized I wasn’t wrong again;

Coq o Vin is a rooster or just a bird made with wine, mushrooms, onions, sometimes garlic and bacon.

…. The wine, as always, is up to standard and I suggest you order some with your food!

Taste  ….

Sarlat is famous for its goose liver. It is sold everywhere as a souvenir. However, of the world’s exports for 2020, 63% is made by France, and on the second place, which country do you think it is? Bulgaria, with 12.28%.

…. So here goose liver is served in different forms and it’s worth a try. Keep in mind that he is from Bulgaria, the people from the restaurant themselves confirmed him.

…. Again – a wonderful Coq o Vin;

…. The others praised the duck leg confit.

Leg confit, duck or chicken, is prepared with a lot of fat, in a very slow oven for about 3 hours. It turns out something awesome and tasty, with a crispy skin, if you bake it at the end on a pan. I personally use duck fat, it is sold in stores.

…. Nougat ice cream, great, with a nice creamy texture when melted.

I strongly recommend L’Auberge de Ravilhon, regardless of the reviews on other platforms. I think the place is worth a lot.
