LA TERRASSE ^{* * *}

Bonne table. Mériterait un peu plus d ambiance musicale et de chaleur

Un nouveau déjeuner aux Terrasses... Une cuisine de goût originale et exceptionnelle... Au niveau cuisine ce restaurant vaut certains étoilés. Un prix correct en rapport avec la qualité.....

Restaurant à éviter
Dommage , très belle terrasse avec vue magnifique. Hors de prix pour une cuisine assez quelconque. 25 € pour une petite tranche de foie gras qui est bon mais pas exceptionnel, de qui se moque t on ?

The hotel is in an old fortress so something like that and above the village and the river so it looks stunning. The breakfast tasted well but it had not many choices and nothing special (like egg cooker or scrambled eggs and bacon) apart from a great chocolate and nut cake. The coffee was served by the staff, so no free refill. The coffee felt like simple filter coffee. The dinner was good but overpriced considering the size of the food. The staff spoke english. There were a lot of parking spaces around the hotel on the street which were for free. From some rooms and the restaurant you get a very nice view on the river. It is a good staring point to go to villages like Rocamadur by car.

Unfortunately our hotel room did nothing with the old building. Inside the room nothing reminded us of the fortress. The Walls were plain and painted white. In the public rooms they had the bare stone walls which looks more authentic. The furniture looked old (but not outworn) but did not fit the topic entirely as only some pieces fitted together. Especially a small sofa did not fit at all (everything made of wood, but a more modern grey and white sofa without any wood) and was standing into the room to hide fridge and safe (which was just laying on the fridge, not very safe). The rest of the hotel used the fortress theme better.
The bathroom was more old fashioned too with a bath tub. Unfortunately the bathub had no shower curtain or glas so we always had wet floor next to it and there was only soap (no shampoo) inside the bath tub. There was no elevator. The window in the bathroom had no proper curtain or roller blind. I felt like someone could easily see my upper body after using the shower standing outside on the parking lot as the curtain did not cover the whole window.
When we arrived (late but before the end of the check-in time) there was nobody at the reception. We had to look inside the nearby restaurant to find somebody. A sign telling you to go into the restaurant or with a phone numb er would have been nice. We waited for several minutes at the empty reception because it was the only sign where to go.

All together we were disappointed of the hotel because we expected to sleep in a fortress but it was more of an old (but clean) hotel. You can come here but it felt very ordinary.

Yet another great visit after too long away because of Covid. Great welcome, great service and great food on the glorious terrace. As ever we were made to be most welcome by all staff and the standards are even higher than ever.
