"Quiet hotel in the heart of Belves with double windows. Recently restored rooms with taste. We spent a very good night in this hotel after a long walk from St Avit Senieur. We did not test the adjoining brewery. We recommend this address ideally located."

"Twenty years ago we were staying on a campsite with our three children and. Ame here as a last night treat we have never forgotten that meal, the food was amazing and the setting bliss. The chikdren played down by the small stream between...courses and the night was bliss. Twenty years later we have managed to return, we booked into the auberge for five nights on a four week tour of France. Natalie the owner has had the auberge for teety five years, but has extended, improved, added hotel rooms, however the place is still as idyllic and the food is still out of this world. It is beautifully presented without being pretentious and with a portion size that is not too small as you somtimes find with this presentation. The goats cheese salad, goats cheese so tangy, fresh, walnuts came alive in your mouth due to freshness and quality. Muse bouche everyday so delicious, gazpacho, saussicon with honey, tiny. Melt in the mouth quiche. Mains equally superb, duck served in a crispy, chinese casing with breast and a sauce, I willl dream about and try to relroduce. Last night a tomato millefieulle was a culinary delight, layered with crab, smoked salmon, and avocado. Puddings have been superb and The profiteroles my husband ordered 20 years ago were still devine. Every night the restaurant is busy but Natalie tries to accomodate all. Recommend you book. We are on a demi pension so we have a set meal each night, this may be difficult in som restaurants but not here as everything on the menu has been so good. Wines have been fab too and extremly reasonable. House carafes so cheap. Hopefully we can return to the Dordogne sooner. If we lived nearby we woukd come very often."

"Cuisine locale très bonne et de qualité, un service plus qu’agréable et des gérants très professionnels et passionnés par le métier de restaurateur, pleins de petites intentions ! Lieu simple où l’on se sent bien ! Je recommande fortement si vous passez dans le coin Les Morbihannais "

"A friend booked this restaurant a week earlier for 11 of us to have a meal before watching a performance in the square, we were booked for 7pm allowing us one and a half hours to eat. My friend even went over at 6pm on...the night to confirm everything was ok and was told yes no problem. When we all arrived at 7pm there was no table, after a little discussion an apology was made and we were seated 15 minutes later. We eventually ordered and our food finally arrived at 8.20 when we should have been taking our seats for the show. Food was nice enough but we had to rush so no desserts etc. My friend explained to the owner we were not happy with the experience but they were not interested in admitting fault or compensating in anyway. Definately would not recommend this restaurant and I dont think they deserve their position in the beautiful square."

"Don't be put off by what appears to be the rather naff pseudo English name Le Home for the hotel part this establishment. Au Pere William is the name of the restaurant and quite nicely puns on the Williams pear (which is included in...one of their salads there's a lot of fruit in other dishes too). I'm not sure they intended the reference to the Lewis Carroll rhyme. Basically, this is a delightfully cheery place on the very western edge of the old town of Belves. From the main square, wander along the rue Manchotte and when you come to the end it's diagonally opposite you on the right across the Place Croix des Freres. Charming service of a number of menus between 20 and 30 euros and a well formed carte containing a range of Perigordian fare, including a particularly flavoursome magret de canard with peaches. Slightly cliched presentation (unnecessary balsamic squiggles even at the edge of a white fish dish, and a tile for the dessert which seems to be de rigueur now), but all in all a very pleasurable experience. To cap it all, visit the cleanest restaurant toilets in this part of France!! Well done, mother William!!"
