Welcome to the cuisine of Périgord and the South West, France’s greatest gastronomic region.
Under the oaks and chestnuts are the famous black truffles and cèpes mushrooms while in the cleared land you will find the great Limousin and Charolais beef animals, milking goats for the renowned cabecou cheeses, vineyards the produce the famed wines of Monbazillac and Bergerac, and course, ducks and geese for confit, magret and foie gras.
To this great base we bring the best of New Zealand fresh and seasonal produce.
Merci et à très bientôt,
Pascal and Ophélie Bedel

Been there a few times and definitely love it. Very French. Food is very good and nicely presented. It’s original and the menu often changes. Portions are a bit smaller than average but it’s not necessary a bad thing as you will then have some place left for one of the delicious desserts…
Lunch time is extremely busy and service is slow. So unless you have 2 hours in front of you, just avoid the place altogether.

Thank you so much to make this evening so special.
My husband took me to this gorgeous restaurant for our wedding anniversary and it was fabulous.
The food was perfect, we enjoyed so much the recommended french wine and the atmosphere was really good. The wait staff is very attentive and friendly.
Thanks again, it was a very romantic evening.

I really enjoyed my visit here with my partner and a friend last December. I can’t remember much about the visit other than the food being very delicious, mmm the duck was cooked to perfection, and the french wine was delicious. I had a fantastic time.

OBNOXIOUS UNFRIENDLY OWNERS:
My girlfriend booked at this restaurant for my birthday dinner, last Friday. I am French and she thought I would love it. She booked 3 weeks in advance, ringing them and emailing as well, to ensure all was fine, and asking for a quiet table, specifying that was for my birthday.
On friday, we come in, nice place, excited by the food, however, the owner places us right in the middle of the dining room, straight in the passage. I notify him (in French) that my girlfriend booked 3 weeks ago, asked for a quiet, intimate table etc… but he did not seem to care at all, nor his partner, and not any sign of friendliness, of being sorry, just that arrogant obnoxious attitude, so typical from the French sometimes. Especially when they see young people coming in (I am 35 and my girlfriend is 30). I am sure they are lovely if you are older and look posh and full of money.
We went left because neither of us wanted to give our money to these people, and went to a lovely wine bar-italian restaurant, “Vivo” where they were so friendly and even organised a candle on a cheese cake slice for my birthday.
Some people we told our story to were not surprised by “Le Canard”, they had heard similar bad things. I told the owners I would tell about the bad impression I got about them and this is what I am doing, because I consider that if you open a restaurant, you have to be nice to customers, show them respect. And I mean, it is so much nicer, and they’ll come back! It was my birthday, my girlfriend had cautiously organised everything and they could not CARE less. Bad image for my country.

Had dinner there on a Friday. I had the rabbit (I have never had it before) which was just mildly tough but delicious. My partner had the duck (the house specialty) which was perfect. The waiting staff were attentive and the atmosphere was nice.

Did you eat at this restaurant? Have an opinion to share?
Great food, got given extra starters and trial starters courtesy of the chef. Was a great lunch overall and found out there are many ways to cook a snail!
Overall a great atmosphere and will definitely go back
