Le Présidial
Housed in one of Sarlat's most historic buildings (originally a 17th-century courthouse), Le Présidial's stout gates swing back to reveal the city's most romantic terrace, filled with summer flowers and climbing ivy – the perfect place to sit back and enjoy authentic saveurs de terroir (country flavours). Goose, duck and foie gras dominate the changing menu, and the wine list is super, especially for Sarlat and Cahors vintages.

Bistro de l'Octroi
This locals' tip is a little way out of town, but don't let that dissuade you. Sarladais pack into this cosy town house for the artistically presented, accomplished cooking that doesn't sacrifice substance for style. Top choices are the generous slabs of Limousin beef and sublime seafood; if you can't decide on dessert, go for the symphonée with small portions of several.

Restaurant Rossignol
At first sight this small restaurant looks a little starchy, with its crisp white tablecloths and plain wooden chairs, but in fact the atmosphere is closer to a homely ferme auberge (farm stay) than a gourmet restaurant. Local fish, meat and foie gras dominate the menu, and you'll be in for a treat if you're here during truffle season.

Saturday Market
For the full-blown French market experience, you absolutely mustn't miss Sarlat's chaotic Saturday market, which takes over the streets around the cathedral. Depending on the season, delicacies on offer include local mushrooms, duck- and goose-based products such as foie gras, and even the holy truffe noir (black truffle).

Le Grand Bleu
Near the train station, every menu at this Michelin-starred temple to fine dining includes a choice of meat (like veal sweetbreads with truffles) or seafood (such as lobster risotto with roast eggplant and truffle mousse), with a 'petit gourmet' menu for little gourmands, and an upcoming program of cooking courses.

Le Bistrot
This diminutive bistro is the best of the bunch on café-clad place du Peyrou. Red-check tablecloths and twinkling fairy lights create an intimate atmosphere, and the menu's heavy on Sarlat classics – especially walnuts, magret de canard (duck breast) and pommes sarlardaises (potatoes cooked in duck fat).
