The story
In the quiet village of Bar, just outside Tulle, L'Épicurieux has earned a Michelin Recommendation for its confident modern cuisine. The restaurant operates under the direction of Thomas Ceaux, who at the helm of SARL THOLINE focuses on fresh, quality ingredients sourced from local suppliers – a fact the kitchen shares openly with guests via social media.
L'Épicurieux adapts its offering to the rhythm of the week. Every weekday lunch, a fixed menu at €18 gives a taste of the kitchen’s ambition without ceremony. Come evening, weekends, and public holidays, the full gastronomic carte takes over, allowing for a more elaborate exploration of modern French flavours. The cooking is precise, seasonal, and driven by the produce.
The restaurant is wheelchair accessible and offers outdoor seating for warmer days. Parking is available nearby – opposite the town hall, by the church, or on a small roadside slope, with a dedicated disabled space in front. A private room can be reserved for events, and the interior is air-conditioned. Payment is accepted by cheque, contactless, Mastercard, and Visa.
With its Michelin recognition and straightforward commitment to quality, L'Épicurieux is a welcome stop for anyone travelling through the Corrèze – and a local favourite for those who already know its address.
