Le Batelier - Prigonrieux

Wonderful French restaurant, we went from our new home in lamonzie st martin at the ufer des dordogne flues (we moved here from the united kingdom recently) the owner/Koch speaks pretty good English, the eating was fabulous! it was a Sunday, and he worked. alone, but he told us so immediately, so we told him we were not in a hurry! we had 3 courses, he made my son to the menu dessert of chocolate fondue. we will come back very soon!

We happened across this restaurant after a morning's wine tasting. Whilst it didn't look particularly impressive from the roadside there is a shady courtyard out the back, which we found very comfortable on a hot day, as did our Labrador. The owner was very helpful...and friendly and suggested a couple of specials. We had shrimp salad grilled large prawns with smoked salmon and melon; and pork fillet with mushroom sauce and sauted new potatoes. A carafe of white wine, a coffee to follow, and all for €42. We would thoroughly recommend this restaurant for a leisurely, tasty and relaxing lunch. P.S. The owner was very kind to our dog.

Although with several tables already on a Sunday lunch time to serve and work alone, our group of 5 English people was warmly welcomed and served with an excellent 3-course lunch. a friendly host who also speaks English. we will define there again, because it is too foot away from our house and we know that we are welcome again.

We were no longer back to this restaurant because of covid. we were very disappointed at the restaurants we visited for a lunch. but we went back to le batelier and found it as good as. when we were there last, what pre covid was. the patron works alone and manages to deliver a very good “plat du jour”. all fresh meals and freshly cooked. we would recommend this restaurant (not to be deceived by occurring) and I am sure that they will enjoy it as much as we will.

Prigonrieux does not have many attractions, but if you drive through, make a stop at Le Batelier. The food is above average, the staff is smiling and knowledgeable and prices are very reasonable.
