The Bistronomic Table: A Gourmet Journey at the Heart of the Terroir
At Domaine de Labrousse, gastronomy is a common thread of the experience. The Table du Domaine offers seasonal, generous, and refined cuisine, inspired by Périgord products and crafted with precision. In the evening, the table d’hôtes brings guests and hosts together around savory dishes, homemade, celebrating tradition while renewing it. At lunch, the private restaurant welcomes a few privileged guests (8 to 10 diners) for gourmet and friendly moments. The cellar highlights a selection of wines from all over France, chosen with care to enhance each dish. Epicureans will appreciate the diversity of food-wine pairings and the opportunity to exchange around the passion for taste.
