Dish du jour — 24/05/2013
It’s been more than a month since I reviewed a meal at Daglan’s own Le Petit Paris, so it’s time for another look. In this posting, I’m going to display a total of four dishes, but I’m showing them in … Continue reading
A foodie discovery in Périgueux
Yesterday we were off to Périgueux, capital of the département of the Dordogne, for some shopping and errands. Périgueux lies about 90 kilometres (or 55 miles) north and west of Daglan, and getting there is a lovely drive, through gently … Continue reading

Dish du jour — 29/04/2013
While our personal budget for eating out is getting close to what economists now call “a fiscal cliff,” my wife Jan and I are persevering. So today it was a three-hour-and-forty-five-minute lunch (I know, not bad for a Monday) at … Continue reading
Lunch under the chestnut trees
Yesterday I reported on Tuesday’s superb lunch at Le Vieux Logis, a lovely restaurant that’s certainly worthy of its Michelin star. Now let’s have a look at a similar lunch the very next day at another Michelin-starred restaurant, Le Gindreau, … Continue reading

Lunch beneath the lindens
Yes, there’s been an interruption in my postings about our personal festival of feasting — but not because the feasting had ended. I was simply overwhelmed with photographs to arrange, and I needed some time to relax and practice some … Continue reading

Nice twists on some yummy classics
Our lunch yesterday with friends Rob and Darlene, who are visiting from Toronto, and Rob’s aunt and uncle from the Bergerac area, was a hit. As expected. We met up in Beynac, at La Petite Tonnelle. It’s just a few … Continue reading
Restaurant with a view
Yesterday (Sunday) was another wonderful day in the ongoing festival of feasting that my wife Jan and I have embarked upon, but not because the food represented the peak of culinary invention. Rather it was because we were able to … Continue reading

The feasting begins!
Good friends from Toronto, Rob and Darlene, are spending a few days with us and you can guess what that means. Yes, it’s a festival of feasting. It started last night with a dinner at Daglan’s own Le Petit Paris. … Continue reading
