A quick trip to town to find Madame some serious walking shoes and with a commitment to keep up the exercise regime...
Monsieur Honey suggested a lunch date at "Le Diabolo Fraise" in the village of Nabirat.
Café - Restaurant Le Diabolo Fraise
Le Bourg 24250
Nabirat
Tele: 05 53 59 36 83
This was a return visit to a special place, this was the location of our "Magic Day" on May 8th, 2012...
see post..."Strawberries and Walnuts".
We were warmly greeted "French style with kisses" by Cathy, the proprietor.
The Café - Restaurant was busy with several tables of locals and a few tourists, visitors to the area.
The restaurant is a family business with Cathy the hostess, server and she bakes and creates delectable desserts and her partner, Fred is the Chef.
They pride themselves in using fresh products that are local and in season, and everything is made in house..."tout est fait a'la Maison".
Today's menu du jour was again a true gastronomical experience.
Cold plate ...rillettes de canard (duck), tuna salad, onion chutney, hearts of palm, lettuce and shrimp, accented by an edible violet blossom.
White fish fillets with a cumin sauce served over a vegetable rice.
The cheese...
Dessert... A chocolate cake made with walnuts, maple syrup and lots of chocolate/cocoa with the texture of a brownie, ice cream and a specialty of the Lot and Perigord..."beignets de fleurs d'acacia" ...fritters made with acacia flowers.
The beignets made by Cathy's friend, Martine were a true treat....absolutely delicious.
All of the above, wine and coffee included for €13.
The food and service were excellent.
Merci Cathy and Fred!
