Auberge de l'Etang Joli

Isabelle take your retirement:- your customers and your waitress deserve a little more consideration on your part-- about your kitchen, you should review your manuals...but I think it's now too late.....

Informal country house, quite remote. we ate in a beautiful garden, all very covered. no choice on the 22 Euro menu, eat in big pots / wish to help us.

We stayed here to visit this restaurant. I can see why there are so different reviews from the previous reviewers, it is very idiosyncratic, they will either love or hate it. very small, very French (also correct), hotel atmosphere. room for only 6-8 tables, decorated with Nick-Nacks. only 2 menus and 10 € children's menu. our teens were only at a choice between bark meat or escape, and they were fled from koks. both menus (Terrine/Pave de boeuf or foie gras/confit de canard) were good to follow before the garlic soup and with cheese and nutcake. service I think inexperienced helper was in the night when we went, as they had no idea how to adapt their very fast French to slower listeners and didted, if we couldn't do our thoughts, and didted again when we asked for wein while serving the suppe. it is certainly home cooking, in an unusual atmosphere. fits on the wooden baby chair, I think it is uncertain! location is beautiful, deep in the wooded valley of les eyzies. they must be reserved if they want to try, several people were turned away when we were there.

Excellent welcome, we feel in the family. The first menu is hearty and delicious. The sparkling accompanies the dishes perfectly. The Isabelle boss will also give you valuable advice for your visits to the region. She recognizes the hosts of glycines.

The staff is at the top, you feel like home especially thanks to the very nice owners and the little ones!
