Le Bistrot De Malfourat - Monbazillac

As the name suggests, this new restaurant is a Bistro not a Michelin 2* restaurant as is Le Tour de Vents so we were not disappointed. It compared favourably with other Bergerac restaurants both for price and flavour but surpassed anywhere else locally because of the view. We visited on a lovely sunny day and could see for miles over Bergerac and beyond. I would recommend booking a window table as they go very quickly. We had the basic 17 euro menu which included 3 set courses but not wine and coffee. It was delicious but not large portions and beautifully presented. I will certainly go back but beware they only open at lunch time at the moment.

Having been to the restaurant next door a few times we thought we would try out the new bistro, and we were not disappointed. The dining room is large and tastefully decorated, the view across the Dordogne valley is stunning, and although it was busy, the acoustics were such that you could still hold a conversation at a normal level.There are two menus, menu of the day €18 (3 fixed courses) or a la carte €27 (choice of around 6 options for each course).The food was fresh, pleasing to the eye and the palette and just a little bit different from the usual restaurant fayre. The gazpacho of cucumber with coconut, curry and prawns was delicious, as was my green and white asparagus tempura. Main course we opted for the dourade, which came on a bed of salsa accompanied by a wonderfully soused fennel slaw and piped aioli en croute. We did order a side of frites which we thought were needed. The cafe gourmand had a nice selection of desserts, just right to finish off the meal.The service was very good, attentive but not too fussy.Don't be decieved by the bistro tag, if you are expecting cheap and cheerful food with a carafe of wine for €10 you will be disappointed. This is an excellent RESTAURANT with restaurant prices, adding on drinks will bring the price up to around €35 - €40 per head, but in my opinion you get what you pay for.Highly recommended.Only open Monday to Friday lunchtimes

I believe this is a new addition to La Tour des Vent which is right next door to this newly renovated building. The food was as good in quality as the Michelin star restaurant and I even thought it was the same chef but the staff said not. There are several menu choices from the menu du jour at €17 and a larger choice menu at €26 where you can mix and match from both menus. Excellent food, excellent service and a nice informal atmosphere. Thank you for making it an enjoyable birthday treat. Merci beaucoup a tous.

With the new owner's from Trémolat having taking over we thought the new bistro (created from an old Dance hall) would match their other one in Trémolat. It doesn't! A huge lack of choice, 4 options one being the 'plat de jour' so if you didn't happen to like, tripe sausage, octupus or foie-gras, foorget it. The menu is very limited so if you deviate in one course you get each plate charged individually and pay big time. Portions are minuscule, my 'main' course of cod was smaller than a cigarette packet, with a smudge of carrot puree and 6 slices of other funny coloured carrots and some foam, and charged 18€ for that 1 plate. This place is a rip off! you can eat far better and for far less money nearby. Avoid, 1/4 wine is not offered on the 'plat de jour' but to be fair their prices for the wine is not too bad. Overall the taste was bland, e.g.one friend had a soup starter, which offered prawns and haddock, tiny frozen prawns and no haddock! The same one order a steak 'siagnat' and it was 'a point+'. A big con we won't be going back, ended up at 40€ a head not what you expect to pay at a bistro. Very disapointed indeed

New restaurant, same owners as La Tour de Vents. The food was very nice, you have an option of choosing between two kind of menus, one of 17€ the other of 26€, both itch out drinks. The vies were excellent, the place is very big, but for my opinion a bit unpersonal and cold. In general a good experience.

This new bistrot is next door to and is owned by La Tour des Vents. The format is, i believe, very different from it's Michelin starred neighbour. The bistrot is open Mondays to Fridays for lunch only. The main menu is à la carte and has a selection of three starters, three main courses and various deserts and a cheese plate. The price of this menu is €26 plus wine and coffee. Each day there is a daily menu "l'Ardoise" which offers a single starter, single main course and single desert. The cost of the daily menu is €17 plus wine and coffee. Three of us ate the daily menu whilst the fourth person ate the €26 menu. We all found the food to be of good quality and very tasty. The service was reasonably good. We would anticipate that this will improve, particularly as the restaurant had only been open for less than two weeks. We will be going back within the next couple of weeks.

I asked the guy working at the Starbucks across the street in broken spanish where it's good to eat around here and he told me La Cueva es muy bueno, and so

We chose this place over Burger King and Taco Bell but in retrospect should have gone to the 100 Montaditos place near by It was pretty mediocre.
