Food and Drink

Known for its rich culinary heritage, this region is famed for its indulgent specialties. Truffles, often referred to as “black diamonds,” are a cornerstone of Périgord’s gastronomy, lending their earthy and luxurious flavor to dishes like scrambled eggs, pasta, and pâtés.

The area is also celebrated for its duck and goose delicacies, including foie gras, confit, and magret, which feature prominently on menus throughout the region. Local markets overflow with walnuts, which are used to produce rich oils, cakes, and liqueurs. Don’t miss sampling the region’s cep mushrooms, often served in hearty stews or as an accompaniment to roasted meats.

Pair these delights with a glass of Bergerac wine, which comes in a variety of styles, from dry whites to robust reds and sweet Monbazillac. Whether dining in a charming bistro or a Michelin-starred restaurant, the Périgord Noir offers an unforgettable journey for the taste buds.
