The story
Set between the golden cliffs of La Roque-Gageac and the calm waters of the Dordogne, La Belle Étoile has been run by the same family for four generations. Since 1991, this house has combined comfort, hospitality and a deep respect for the local terroir. The restaurant is the soul of the place — a celebration of Périgord flavours, prepared with finesse and emotion.
The menu changes with the seasons, drawing from the best the Périgord Noir has to offer. Each plate is a sensory journey through the region’s bounty: duck, walnuts, truffles, foie gras and local vegetables, all treated with a light, contemporary touch. The cooking is honest, precise and generous — exactly the kind of good-quality, good-value cuisine that earned La Belle Étoile a Michelin Bib Gourmand for 2026.
Dining here means taking your time. The terrace overlooks the Dordogne, and the interior is warm and unpretentious, with a focus on genuine hospitality. The restaurant is open from April to November, and reservations are recommended. Whether for lunch or dinner, La Belle Étoile offers a true taste of the Périgord — refined, welcoming and deeply satisfying.
