This place has been open a year - we were too early for it last year…read more Wow - this is a great find...good meat & charcuterie, cheese, amazing sorbets (artisanales)...the only duff thing is perhaps the fruit and veg but there is a lot of other good stuff to drool over Wine...now they stock various local wines as well as a small wider range. The local vino is priced at the same rate as if you went to the vineyard itself (we did a tour one day down to our favourite confit & rillettes producteur, Saby at Mauroux, and went to 4 places on the way back having sampled here - we told the Chateaux that we had discovered the wines at All Fermier: Belmont, Nozieres, Monplaisir and Le Croisille)...there were others but we had no time A must go to place...plus they are really nice there...let's hope they make a go of it; so please use it even though the local supermarket has upped its game, this is where you can treat yourself (The bread shop a few doors up isn't bad either; but beware; cycled there one Saturday morning for croissants and they had run out...at 9:30...oh, better do some more, they said!!! Duh!!!)

Next door was a butcher with a huge selection and also a variety of readymade meals. The gem though was Valette Foie Gras which, in addition to a massive selection of Foie Gras and related products, including chutneys and Cassoulets, has quite a range of local wines. I took the opportunity to make some progress on my list.

He pointed at the…read morestore when we were walking in Sarlat and said :"If you need to buy wine in this town, that's the guy." He was right. The shopkeeper was very patient with our bad French and set us up with some fantastic local varietals. We liked his selection so much that we went back more than once. If I could, I would buy a case load of his swag and have it shipped back to America.

A delicious gem serving vegetarian fare in the land of duck & fois gras. We stumbled upon Okivi and…read morewere drawn in by the unique & tasty food served up by friendly proprietors. They serve a set menu at a great price. Our first meal was lentil cakes with a yoghurt/tarragon sauce, followed by a vegetable lasagne and finished with choice of cookies or vegan banana bread. We had eaten the banana bread for breakfast so we opted for the cookies and they were great, too. While we ate, a couple of locals came by wanting the lasagne, but it was sold out! Make a reservation if you like the menu. A few days later, we were back. This time we had a samosa with mushrooms, cabbage & ginger. So yummy! The main course was couscous with fave beans, chanterelles and onion.

We did get a few bits and pieces in the market stalls but our big call today was to the traiteur…read morecalled Charcuterie de Campange, SAS Vaux, rue de la Republique, 24200 Sarlat. I'm surprised at the amount of Irish people who visit France who do not even know of the value of the traiteur. Here, you can get many French classic dishes and other lesser known classy ones for a very good price. That means your dinner is sorted. Heat in the oven or microwave as required and voila you get a terrific meal. We spent just over 15 euro there this morning. Top purchase, at EUR4.99, was Jambon with sauce medere (ham with Madeira sauce); Sarlat potatoes; tomates farci (stuffed tomatoes) and Boudin Noir with onions which cost EUR1.37. Having returned from Terrasson, we had that ham along with the potatoes and it turned out to be excellent, going down well with a bottle of Fronton. Dessert was a few very tasty macaroons (at EUR1.50 each) which came from an artisan producer in the market. Just to give you a comparison, the meal costs were as follows: Melon starter 2.60, mains 9.89, dessert 4.50, wine c 2.00. Total for two: EUR18.99.
