We passed this hotel restaurant on the way from the airport and stopped for a beer in the evening sunshine and vowed to return soon to eat there. The following Monday,we planned to have lunch on our way to Gascony. The menu was reasonably priced and offered a good choice. The food was well cooked and presented and served efficiently by La Patronne ( De Baas!) who recommended we try the Cornish Sole (Megrim) - a delicious, firm white meat, not unlike Dover Sole. The steak Pave was cooked rare to perfection but required serious mastication. We were happy with our lunch and the cleanliness of the toilets/public areas ( often a let-down in France). We will be back!

We had two special occasion meals, lunch and dinner, here during June. Both meals were superb, one a special order for a big birthday, was beautifully prepared and presented and the take away leftovers enabled us to relive the occasion next day. Perfectly cooked garlicky lamb leg was our special, but really no need to stray from the menu.This is friendly without being familiar, professional service by two young folks who know their food and booze. Thankfully free of froths and foams, it is an escape from the ubiquitous duck - much as we love it, it is possible to start quacking round here. They have sufficient savvy to serve heat friendly dishes such as gravlax, avocado and confit lemon which gets away from cassoulet in 40c temps; at the same time, it can be chilly even in summer, so try a lamb burger. Classic French village location, multi-national customers.Just lovely. All power to their elbow.

This little local restaurant has proved to be a boon in a rural area where there are but a few eating places. It's run by Stephanie and Pierrot with occasional extra help in the summer. The restaurant was established with the help of the Commune of Marminiac in an old building in the centre of the village. Indoors has a smart contemporary look and there is a large sun-shaded terrace in front. Since it opened a couple of years ago, we have had dinner here several times on our own or with friends or family. It has become very popular with locals [French and ex-pats] and with summer visitors. It's a good idea to book given they do only 25 covers. The set lunch menu is a bargain and there is a special traditional local dish on Saturday lunchtimes, advertised in advance. The evening menu has a number of choices based mainly around local produce and typical dishes. There is a good short wine list, mostly Cahors and Bergerac. Check for opening times.

Had a lovely lovely lunch with a friend here. The food was great especially considering the price, only â¬17 for a 5 course lunch. The only criticism I have is the waitress, who was extremely unfriendly and verging on the aggressive. We ignored her attitude and by the time we arrived on the cheese course she was more friendly. Shame, as apart from that I cannot fault this restaurant

Cazals is a lovely village (700 years old?) which, if it was in England's Cotswolds, would be swamped by summer visitors with their cameras. But, although there are some similarities between Cazals and Cotswold villages - the honey-coloured stone of the buildings, for example - this village is not as 'precious' about itself as some of those picture-book villages in more densely-populated England. Nor, importantly, is it as expensive to eat out, here.The Auberge de la Place has a dining room (empty when we were there) and a simple outside eating area (became very busy from about 20.00 onwards), across the road from the front door of the restaurant. The friendly, welcoming staff (mostly family?) get used to carrying trays to the tables in la Place. We were there in 2017 when the set menu (entrée, plat, Rocamadour goat cheese and dessert was 25 euros). In 2019, it still is 25 euros and it remains excellent value for money. It is a no-frills meal, but, one which is copious and honest. The starter of raviole with a sauce of ceps was lovely. So was the faux filet with goat cheese sauce and the grilled lamb with garlic. Each dish came with delicious home-made frites that were hard to resist, despite doctor's orders. No other vegetables, but, that did not matter. A delicious strawberry bavarois and a choux bun with cream and chocolate sauce rounded the meal off. The half-litre carafe of very drinkable wine at 6 euros was enjoyable too.On a warm July evening, it was a pleasure to eat at the Auberge de la Place.
