Like most of France the Limousin has its fair share of superb restaurants and auberges. As the region which produces arguably the worlds best breed of beef cattle then steak features heavily on the menu. That and the source of the most varied and sought after range of mushrooms in France, and a reputation for hearty dishes, means there is a real voyage of discovery to be had for all the gourmets among you.

On the menu above (no pun intended!) you will find details of three of our favourite restaurants close to Les Hirondelles cottages which we know well and visit regularly. There is also a list of recommended restaurants although they are a few amongst hundreds of excellent establishments in the region.
