La Riviera - Bergerac

Had a fabulous meal here the host spoke both English and French and was helpful from start to finish even ordering me can to continue my journey also lovely views of the river and a cooling breeze on the terrace

Bergerac has some good restaurants and some very good ones. On the banks of the Dordogne river and between the two bridges crossing the river is an Italian restaurant that is outstanding. Great food, lovely décor, friendly and efficient service. Two lovely dining rooms and a terrace. There is a painting on the wall of the back room that must be seen. Try to work out who is on the gondola and what is the man on the bridge doing. This is a lovely, cozy, warm and friendly place which simply makes you happy. Then there is the food! My wife and I had Buffalo Mozzarella, Risotto stuffed with foie gras in a cepe mushroom sauce with Parma ham as starters. Then Saltimbocca with pasta. I usually dont like pasta but I loved this offering. Then a chocolate and amaretto dessert. We kicked off with a Prosecco and Amaretto aperitif and then a glass of wine. Finished with coffee. Euro 95 a good deal given the high quality of the meal and the lovely ambiance of the place. I will be back time and again and I highly recommend this lovely restaurant.

Having ventured to Bergerac market on a wet and stormy Saturday morning, we later found ourselves back in this delightful little restaurant by the river. We were greeted by Stephan (the owner) who was warm and friendly, as always, and my husband and I ordered pizzas. They were freshly made; crisp, thin and downright delicious, and whilst surrounded by the well-thought-out décor, we forgot about the stormy skies outside, and were joyfully whisked off in an instant to the sun-baked, cobbled streets of Italy. Definitely worth a visit...

We parked outside this river facing restaurant when we first got to bergerac and thought that looks nice for a night out. Sure enough we went back later in the week. Should have booked an outside table, but the inside was very nice too. Clean, toilets get a ten. Waiter, I presume owner, speaks many languages. He managed to sell us things we hadnt planned on, and my advice is listen to him. Superb aperitif, to die for mushroom lasagne, gorgeous pud. Everyone enjoyed meal, and service. If 1 is mcdonalds and 5 is waldorf, this was 3.5 for food and price. I would go again.

The food was good, in this quirky restaurant. The owner was chatty, we felt comfortable and had a good lunch. It was a little more expensive than we expected.
