Restaurants - Penne d'Agenais
There are 5 restaurants in the nearby village of Penne d’Agenais, about 5-minutes drive; three restaurants on the outside of the bastide town walls, two inside the walls:
Maison Sur La Place – hidden behind a grey door at the back of the main car park, Maison Sur La Place is probably the best restaurant in Penne d’Agenais, its décor is North African inspired – and so is the cuisine. You can dine outside in a private square behind the tourist office
La Peyragude with its pavement tables is at least as good but more traditionally French with a well priced daily menu. Watch out for Tuesday or Wednesday closure
There’s also a bar, Chez Fabien, right next door. Foods good but it's mostly geared up to provide lunches to local workers
Inside the walls is Café des Arts which serves excellent savoury pancakes – Galettes – with English fillingsBombecul – open in high season
There's also a couple of shops, the tourist office, marie with an exhibition space plus a good butchers which is also the local Depot du Pain
There’s also a gourmet restaurant on the way into Penne called L’air du Temps
Chateau de l’Hoste is a slow and lazy, traditional French hotel – it is worth having an aperitif with canapés in the gardens under the shade of the trees, even if you go on to eat at the Café du Centre, Roquecor bar or Chez Kadie
Café du Centre, Roquecor is good for watching Rugby, playing pool or just listening to live music on a Sunday afternoon
Chez Khadi on the main road in Lacardayre is definitely for 'sitting in' - so a good choice for a day when the weathe's not so good, excellent food cooked by the resident North African. Watch out for Tuesday or Wednesday closure
Tortonis in Villeneuve is the café to see in and be seen at. They also do a very good mid day set lunch
