"This is the first time we visited the Auberge at lunch time, and in the run up to the high season. We ate out on the terrace, with a lovely view over the Dordogne river. It has to be on of the best situated places in town. Since the new owners opened a couple of months ago, there have been some (very sensible) changes. They have another chef in the kitchen to help out, and two new wait staff. At the same time there have been some things that haven't changed. The same warm and smiling welcome and a choice of dishes based on good homely cooking at a reasonable price. There is no set price menu (as before), so we ordered from the small à la carte list shown on a blackboard. I had veal confit (slow cooked) and my wife some Sandre (fresh water fish known as Pike-Perch or Zander in English). Both came quickly, and were perfectly cooked with a tasty garnish of vegetables. We had a glass of dry white (the waitress's suggestion) as an apéritif and to drink with the meal. Pleasant. To follow, a very nice creme brulee, not perfect, as there was perhaps a little too much sugar on top, but that's being very fussy. We'd certainly order it again. We were very tempted by quite a few of the excellent sorbets on offer, but couldn't resist the burnt cream. All in all a very nice, relaxed meal. We are lucky to have it at easy walking distance from our home."
