Wandering through the centre of Le Bugue looking for lunch about 2.00pm we were surprised how many eateries shut at 1.30pm. (The middle of lunchtime in my book. But Chai Monique stays open all day. We ordered two salades nicoise. They were probably the best we’ve ever eaten. Crisp, fresh lettuce with red, yellow and green tomatoes and potatoes, green beans and, course, tuna. All topped with French dressing made by Monique that morning. Monique and her staff are friendly and welcoming. Contrary to a previous comment, we didn’t think €16.50 per salad was pricey. But then “expensive” can be a very subjective term. Highly recommended
Last visited under previous regime when the idea was good but has now improved vastly under new owner (since 2019, ex Bistrot de la Place in Tremolat). So rare to find a place in the area with flexible and friendly service but also using top quality ingredients to create a variety of delicious light meals, and open all afternoon. We had the gazpacho magnificent and the foie gras. Standard was excellent at under €10 per plate. Also with an impressive wine list. Highly recommended.
We have been going to Monique’s for several years. It has recently changed ownership but do not fear, it is still a lovely little place, nice selection of wines by the glass and good, fresh and tasty dishes all prepared by the owner herself.
Monique is very friendly and helpful as was the waitress. We had stopped there once before for lunch and that was also a very pleasant experience. Good selection of modestly priced wine available.
