Lot’Antique was the highlight of our experience of French cuisine during our recent visit to the Lot. A small restaurant located in a little street in the center of Gourdon that exudes bijoux courtyard charm yet still possesses an understated elegance matched by its gracious owner, Pilou, a humble, outstanding chef whose innate talents would receive plaudits from renowned chefs the world over. A consummate professional, Pilou is polite, funny, engaging but not intrusive and clearly passionate about every morsel of food he seems to effortlessly create and deliver. The man is a genius because he does everything from the moment he meets and greets you. He is there to assist with wine selection...
Second time we visited this restaurant (previous one was more than 2 years ago). Extension works have been completed over winter, and restaurant just reopened. As it was a quiet period, only 2 tables taken, so chef took the time to talk about food, and other,... which typically is something he can only do for his first and last visitor. Quality and taste pallet of the food is excellent. Good selection of natural wines. We will be back this summer. Possibility with outdoor terrace (few tables) in summer, with a small romantic corner for 2... Nice added value for the village of Gourdon.
This restaurant absolutely deserves the consecutive Gault Millau awards it has received. In fact, it is more than worthy of a Michelin star...we are surprised it has not already received this honour. For Entrée, the L’Oeuf et Cèpes and the baked crumble were delicious. Un chef very professional. Good wine.
This tiny little restaurant is, it seems, run by just one very talented man who takes your order, cooks (in a tiny kitchen) and then serves some delicious and amazingly well presented food. Well worth reserving a table here. It was a memorable experience.
