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.

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).

L'Estaminet
Secreted in a medieval courtyard, this intimate bistro takes its culinary cue from the daily produce available at the nearby market, so you could find anything from fresh sea bass to rump steak on the menu, all with a Périgordine twist.

Au Bien Bon
Checked tablecloths, chalkboard menus and chipped floor tiles set the earthy tone at this rustic place, which makes a fine spot for traditional Périgord cooking: confit de canard (duck leg, cured and poached in its own fat), omelette aux cèpes (omelette with porcini mushrooms) or full-blown tête de veau (vealer's head).

Le Quatre Saisons
Tucked off a steep street in the Cité Médiévale. The father-and-son team behind this intimate restaurant use whatever's freshest at the markets to inspire inventive dishes accompanied by a surprisingly international wine list.
