“ We’ve eaten here twice in the past month, travelling through Bergerac from Bordeaux and have enjoyed it immensely. Returned with friends today who were similarly impressed. The atmosphere is gentle and comforting, the service attentive and the menu authentically regional. The meals were delicious. We thought the menu du jour at €29, was good value. Stand-outs were the Perigord garlic soup, the magret du canard, the ham as and the sorbets. Local beers and wines also, delicious. Highly recommended. ”
“ A wonderful first night in Bergerac with friendly service and delicious food. Ordered the prawns and duck - highly recommend the duck!! With ratatouille. Would come here again, thank you for a lovely evening! ”
“ We had a wonderful dinner at Le Richelieu, on contrary to some of the experiences posted. The food was delicious and natural, without too much salt in them. Served steaming warm. Yes, the chocolate mousse was delicious, dark and not too sweet. The waiters were friendly and nice! I had the lamb chops of perigold while my husband had the prawns. Both were excellent. Couldn’t have asked for more! ”
“ We recently had the pleasure of dining at Le Richelieu in Bergerac, and we wanted to share what a truly lovely experience it was. From the moment we were seated, everything felt perfect. We were lucky enough to get a table on the terrace, which offers the most delightful setting. Watching the world go by with a view of the famous statue of Cyrano de Bergerac was a charming backdrop to our meal. The food was absolutely superb. We had the confit of duck, which was cooked beautifully—crispy on the outside, tender on the inside, and full of flavor along with the pan-fried foie gras, which was equally delicious and perfectly executed. A fantastic culinary experience! I have read some other reviews online that suggest issues with service, but that was certainly not our experience. Our service was attentive, professional, and perfectly paced from start to finish. Our waiter was friendly and ensured we had everything we needed without being intrusive. Overall, we had a fantastic meal and a memorable evening. Le Richelieu is a gem, and we would highly recommend it to anyone visiting Bergerac. Don't let other reviews put you off—our visit was faultless! ”
