La Petite Tonnelle

A must do if you are in the region. Such a cute place with amazing food and wine. Booking is required. We were lucky to secure a table on the day.

Very glad that we stumbled upon this restaurant. Food was very delicious, the staff very friendly and attentive even though we don’t speak any French. The price is almost a bargain. Be careful when you order the menu “Liberty”, the portions are really big. They even brought our dog water without us asking. We had such a great time the first time we went back the next day again.

Lovely staff in an unusual natural decor, in a cozy and peaceful atmosphere. The cuisine is good if a little bit unbalanced on quantities served for some dishes. Still a very pleasant diner and very good food.

Hidden gem in Perigord. We came to this restaurant by pure luck. And we were lucky! This is a place where you know the owner loves food and they cook with love. They also like customers to be happy because they are friendly and welcoming. Although the place was packed we got the table anyway. Their 3 course set lunch was 27 euro and a few more for 4 course. Their duck gizzard salad was surprisingly very good! Every dish was made with love. Creme brulee was smooth with the most delicate scent that didn't smell like vanilla and more like a flower. We were so happy to have found this place.

I can't appreciate enough this place because they were open 1 of January. If you can imagine that miracle happened, it's restaurant in France what works in this day. Thank you a lot for your service and food. Smocked salmon is just excellent (home made by chef), duck was nice ( a little bit dry like for me, but compensated by veggies), roulade was good (my husband like it). On my opinion: service/price/quality fair. Service friendly. And again, thank you for your job and service.

Agree with previous reviewer that this is totally a must if in the area . We actually went twice for lunch changing plans to be able to go a second time having found the restaurants in Sarlat as very heavy and repetitive. Nothing was too heavy. Had the duck magret, melon & duck slices (just a few), and the "peach soup" which was was one of the most elegant desserts I've ever had. Classic nice, attentive staff. Eat outside on the porch if weather permits. Wish I lived closer.

I walked in earlier in the night before they opened, and they made a reservation for me. I had a very warm welcome. The food looked beautiful and tasted fresh and delicious. The dishes came out at the perfect times. The staff all had smiles and seemed happy and were very accommodating by speaking English to me because although I try, I speak very little french. I had a wonderful evening and walked away happy and content. Additionally: I stayed in town for 3 nights and ate here every night. I tried many dishes and they were constantly beautiful and each one was delicious. The staff was warm, welcoming, and always brought every dish at the right time, with a smile. They were a very important part of why I had such an unforgettable stay in Benyac-et-Cazenac. I wish I could stay longer. P.S. I did not add photos of the other dishes I ate because I was too busy enjoying them.

Absolutely amazing. The food was delicious. The staff were incredibly friendly. I can't speak more highly of a restaurant. I food really was incredible and the prices I thought were really good. A beautiful venue too.

We came here to honor my sister's birthday and it was a culinary celebration! The food, service and ambiance was truly amazing in this beautiful little French village.

We had a wonderful dinner here. The ambience was perfect, the service was perfect maybe food was very good. The medallions were a bit grissly. The vegetables were yummy! My steak was very good. They don't seem true much salt in France. I had hot foie gras for the first time. If I had known I was force fed duck or geese I might not have tried it. I'm so glad I did! It was absolutely divine! I couldn't eat the entire piece because it was so rich! I recommend eating here!

We enjoyed 2 delightful dinners here. This area is know for the locally sourced gourmet food items, foie gras, truffles, duck, walnuts, white asparagus, regional wines and the chef creatively puts them to use. They are beautifully presented with excellent service. Our server did an great job juggling orders keeping everyone happy. It's understandable why this place was full and the other nearby places had many empty tables. The ambiance is way cool, the restaurant is carved into the steep rockery, it's like being in an elegant cave. The local grilled fish was delicious, as was, all of the above mentioned items we had to try.

La Petite Tonnelle is a lovely, relaxing restaurant. More vegetarian options would be nice. The food is excellent. The service was first class.

We enjoyed this wonderful quaint restaurant very much. Lovely ambiance, friendly staff but most of all fabulous food & wine. For people who travel with small pets this place is a FIND! This was our first visit but it will not be our last. Bev & Victor Brandes Spain

Since we were staying in a house on the cliffs above the restaurant, coming here was a no-brainer. Our party of four had a truly delightful time at this elegant restaurant. I got steak which was locally sourced, and it was absolutely delicious - perfectly cooked a-point. Everyone else enjoyed their food, although the duck was a bit tough. I would highly recommend this restaurant, and recommend a house on the cliff in Beynac as a place to stay.

The restaurant setting is very nice in a quaint little town. The people are very nice and attentive. The food is great with local products. Recommended!

My wife and I had a delicious meal here on a chilly evening in September. As the other reviews indicate, this is a great place to sample the regional cuisine including fois gras, duck, and local wines. Our dishes were excellent, and the service was good. We were seated indoors, which is very atmospheric. I believe the back wall of the restaurant is carved out of the cliff face. Recommended for a delightful evening in a very beautiful little town.
