L'Épicurien

"Luck has nothing to do with the current reputation of this downtown venue, facing Jean Jaurès Fountain, as the darling of the town’s discerning epicureans. The stripped-back interior sports a distinctly Scandinavian feel, which given the chef’s Swedish origins is hardly a surprise. On the culinary front, he deploys his undisputed talent, adding a new twist to French classics and conjuring up enticing recipes in tune with the era: generous portions, well crafted and oozing with flavour. The intelligent wine list and crack table staff, as professional as they are friendly, add the final flourish." - Michelin Inspector

"This quaint old house in the heart of Périgueux provides the perfect foil for Gilles Labbé's assuredly epicurean cooking. It is clear that careful work goes into the precisely crafted recipes including the inspired vegetable dishes. The menu features quality Aubrac and Salers meats matured for six weeks on site. A master class of delicate craftsmanship and delicious food. Particularly attentive and enthusiastic front-of-house team." - Michelin Inspector
