Restaurant Au Pere William

Well worth a visit, scallops were amazing. We had fish, steak and salad, and all were fabulous. Lemon tart and pomme fine tart also delivered. Bergerac wine was also beautiful. Service was on site, will definitely return.

In our village Belves, this is always a pleasure. there was a new renovation of both the restaurant and the adjacent hotel. William is a fabulous cook, and his beautiful wife, Nathalie, is always a great help in the restaurant. we send all our guests from our local Gite to Le Hom

Don't be put off by what appears to be the rather naff pseudo English name Le Home for the hotel part this establishment. Au Pere William is the name of the restaurant and quite nicely puns on the Williams pear (which is included in...one of their salads there's a lot of fruit in other dishes too). I'm not sure they intended the reference to the Lewis Carroll rhyme. Basically, this is a delightfully cheery place on the very western edge of the old town of Belves. From the main square, wander along the rue Manchotte and when you come to the end it's diagonally opposite you on the right across the Place Croix des Freres. Charming service of a number of menus between 20 and 30 euros and a well formed carte containing a range of Perigordian fare, including a particularly flavoursome magret de canard with peaches. Slightly cliched presentation (unnecessary balsamic squiggles even at the edge of a white fish dish, and a tile for the dessert which seems to be de rigueur now), but all in all a very pleasurable experience. To cap it all, visit the cleanest restaurant toilets in this part of France!! Well done, mother William!!

Prices quite correct, for products of this quality. Good reception and the crowd of the clientele.

Advised by trip advisor travelers, we confirm that this restaurant deserves its good reputation. We took the menu at 24 € , very copious and excellent: the salad of the country (black ham, foie gras foam ....) is succulent and the dish (melly dolphin gratin and mellow dinde with foie gras sauce. ...miam ! ) the products are fresh and local and homemade. we went there with our two teens and they loved (and were repelled!) L. accueil is also charming and relaxed. bravo!
