Les Machicoulis

Excellent food of the Périgord region in a stunning location near the castle and above the river Dordogne. Menu du jour and à la carte sampled.

Hidden gem away from mas tourist places. Beautiful view over the Dordogne river, sitting in the shade of the trees. Super friendly staff, en real nice food! Reservation one day in advance is a must. They are hard to reach by phone, and dont have a online resevation tool (like all dordogne restaurants!! , so you have to stop by in person ; Really worth it!

We arrived without a reservation on a busy night, so were unable to be seated outside as we hoped. However, we were seated inside by the large window that was opened for us. The view was amazing, the breeze great and as we were the only people inside .. it was peaceful and relaxing. The recommendation for the wine was good. As for the meal, far better than expected- it was most enjoyable. If we ever return to Castelnaud La Chapelle, I would have no hesitation in returning to Les Machicoulis.

Just had a lovely hot goats cheese salad on a shady terrace, overlooking the Dordogne valley. Service excellent with an efficient, friendly and smiling waitress. Definitely worth a visit, best to reserve in high season.

Friendly waitress who speaks English, a menu with variety, from beef to duck to salads, and the best crème caramel I've ever tasted. Tables under the trees are nice, and they moved us inside when it rained. Lovely either way!
