Fodor's Expert Review Un Parfum de Gourmandise

$$$ Périgueux French

Editor's Note: This location is no longer in operation.

Outside the city center, but well worth the detour, Un Parfum de Gourmandise is where natives go for inventive seasonal cuisine. This tiny eatery, which won its first Michelin star in 2019, makes excellent use of the local bounty and has a flair for introducing surprising ingredients: think guinea fowl with tonka-bean-flecked endive or roasted veal with hazelnut oil and sweet potatoes perfumed with bitter orange. Dishes are beautifully presented, and the wine list is excellent. Best of all, at €56, €69, and €80, the four-, five-, and six-course dinner menus are reasonable for this quality of food, so you’ll spend the same or less than what you would in many lesser restaurants; lunch menus start at €28.
