La Terrasse Sainte Marie

We had missed the lunch sitting (ends at 2:00 as most of France) so we just enjoyed drinks on this spectacular terrace.

A good choice on thelunchtime menu and everthing was very fresh and well cooked. Good sized portions and reasonble price. Very friendly staff

Sat on the terrace overlooking the steep valley below. Great meal of local cuisine. Excellent service and reasonable cost. Euros 70 for two people. Highly recommend. View menu

We made a mistake eating here. The great view and location fooled us. For lunch, I ate the duck special (canard) which was very tough and ****. My wife's salad had a hair in it and the chicken was processed. It was a very bad experience.

Acceding from the stairs, about half way down to the Rocamadour village, this is the first restaurant we run into. We decided to eat lunch here because of the view it offered. From the terrace you can see the entire surrounding area as well as...More

In the midst of all the little tourist restaurants, which can be good, we found some of the best food we've had during our week in France, including several days in Paris.The lamb was perfectly cooked and beautifully seasoned. We also had a charcuterie board and each cut of meat was full of flavor and melted in your mouth. Our cheese dessert plate had a lovely mix of 4 cheeses, including the ever-present Rocamadour goat's cheese. The staff was friendly and accommodating, with a terrific wine recommendation and great service. View menu

Having walked down from the castle on a hot day, we were ready to sit down on the lovely terrace and take in the superb view, as well as enjoying some lunch. Although, once it arrived, the food was palatable enough, we waited almost 50 minutes for our starter to arrive, then when it came, it was the wrong order. By the time we were actually served the food we had ordered, we had been seated for an hour. The food was not bad, the prices about average for the area, and the ambiance was great, but a little more attention to customers would have been welcome.

The restaurant appeared quite full when we arrived but we were seated at the back terrace away from the tables near the entrance that are a little more cramped with people traffic, so with children we were more than happy with the table on their back terrace.The restaurant sources their products from the region and everything on the menu was enticing. The duck and sausage were delicious - the protein cooked beatifully and served with a delicious vegetable stew and simple but fresh salad. All six of our meals were very good and that topped off with lovely wine and a spectacular view over the valley made our visit very memorable.

Having witnessed a pregnant lady not just been denied to use the toilet facilities, but almost been thrown out of the restaurant made me disgusted with the lack of humanity and money orientated behaviour this restaurant presented! I understand the principle of “toilet usage is for paying customers” (working in the industry for almost 12 years), however if a pregnant woman entered my café asking for the bathroom while explaining how she is not feeling well (offering to purchase), under no circumstances would I deny my help (especially as a mother of two). Several guest including my husband and I were looking at each other shocked, questioning whether we should interfere, but decided just to l... View menu
