La Confrérie du Bourg is a bar-restaurant in the centre of the neighbouring village of Bourg du Bost. In a short time, the confrerie has built a solid reputation among locals. Daily menus are served with a contemporary, fresh touch. Slightly more expensive than average but absolutely top-notch. Reservation is recommended!

La Trattoria, a delightful little Italian restaurant in Saint-Severin. The menu is limited and changes monthly. Delicious dishes and a very friendly host, but the place is tiny and has relatively limited opening hours. Booking is an absolute must.

We tried this one on the recommendation of friends and it was more than up to scratch: Le Saint Aquilin restaurant in (where else?) Saint-Aquilin (25 minutes by car). A lovely meal, featuring local products and dishes with a modern twist. Friendly hosts; the only slight drawback is the lack of a terrace.

'Au Cochon Prieur’ in Aubeterre-sur-Dronne was taken over by a young couple. The menu still features French regional dishes, but these have now been given a contemporary twist and are of a gastronomic standard. The menu has also been expanded to include dishes other than pork (don’t be misled by old reviews).

La Pena Eulalia, in the centre of Saint Aulaye, bills itself as a ‘village bar-restaurant’, a meeting place where a friendly atmosphere is key. Make no mistake, the food and drinks are better than in the average village pub! During the summer months, there’s a concert every Friday evening. The terrace on the market square is a real bonus.

Auberge du Pauly is only a stone's throw from La Moulinasse (2.5 km). The kitchen is rather Breton inspired: on the menu are several galettes, savoury filled buckwheat pancakes. But also salads and grills are not lacking on the menu and sorbets with very special flavors. And there is also an extensive cocktail menu, both alcoholic and non-alcoholic. The reception is very warm and the kitchen good. Open from Wednesday to Sunday.

At ‘A fleur d'eau’ you can dine on a spacious terrace on the banks of the Dronne. A daily menu is offered at lunchtime. In the evening, one eats there 'à la carte'. There is no menu formula so it is slightly pricier.

Those who like Asian cuisine will find what they are looking for at ‘le Vietnam’ restaurant in Ribérac, which is a lot more upmarket than your average Chinese restaurant. Tasty and welcoming. The only downside is the lack of a terrace. Take-away is also possible. Also open on Sundays.

A ‘guinguette’ is an open-air bistro – not fancy, but very convivial. You’ll find one in the neighbouring village of Epeluche, near La Moulinasse and by the Saint Aulaye beach. The guingette in Saint-Séverin is reopening this summer as a spin-off of the restaurant La Pena Eulalia – I can’t wait to check this one!
