Les Petits Producteurs - Cahors

Great place for lunch. come on time to midday!. also fun to watch hikers and biker by. ah, did I mention that?

No other word, but fabulous would describe our experience. previous reviews we have advised and arrived at 11:50 clock. each table was filled by 12:05. the staff was very friendly and helpful so we taste the wee before we order 2 glasses...rose the menu offers three “Platten decouverte” with products from the producturs, along with several huge salads and single dishes such as tagliatelli with foie gras sauce. we ordered the largest “decouverte” plate to share. it consisted of a huge escape sausage that was absolutely delicious, foie gras, rillettes de canard, dried duck breast and a selection of 3 different cheeses, with handcrafted broths, surrounded by a fantastic salate of melons, beetroot, sorted leaves,walnuts and many other delicious nuggets. it was very full, but apparently some people could devote themselves to each other. we enjoyed 2 glasses each of a local rose with the plate and after that we had a caffe gourmand. a espresso surrounded by a tiny taste of each of their desserts, pruneaux en vin rouge, tarte de noix, chantilly cream avec amandes, chocolate brownie etc. the bill was very reasonable 49,50 euro. at the time we were gone, there were literally crowds waiting for tables. if we had not stayed in a hotel with several days before our trip to the house, we would have kept us in store with the fresh products.

They make big salads. very nice staff and a good price. not sure whether it has the ambiente for an evening meal.

Excellent place to eat at midday, it gets very busy so we always book a table as on both occasions on this visit there were quite a few turned away or asked to come back later. Anyway the menu is all products from the local...producers, it comes mostly as salads some warm some not but the taste is superb, I haven 't gotten past the degustation dish yet. The wines are all local and again they will let you taste before you order, the staff are all very friendly and helpfull and explain what is on you 're plate and are very knowledgeble about the wines you order. We can spend several hours watching the world go by and sampling the products, you have to try the tarte aux noix, wow. Can 't wait till next year when we will be starting our holiday with a stop over here and a meal to set the standard for the rest of the vacation.

The TripAdvisor note is wrong it is open! Brilliant little shop at the back of the cathedral selling local foie gras, duck and wine but they also have a terrace serving a variety of super, sensibly priced, salads based around their local products. Welcome...and service excellent but you you may need to be patient to pay as customers all want to chat and buy in the shop! The only drawback? you do need to book. We’ll be back when we visit Cahors again.
