Le Quatre Saisons - Sarlat-la-Canéda

If you are looking for classic French cuisine of high quality in a charming and quiet setting at bargain prices - this is the place! I was not really

Well, it was a hot day and we loved the look of this place so we stopped in after lunch time was over. There was a table of men enjoying a bottle of wine, and we asked for drinks. The owner/bartender (not sure which) welcomed us and poured us beers and wine and was so extremely friendly we figured we’d come back for dinner. But the terrible reviews scared us away.

We loved this place and its quirky food; they used to set light to rosemary underneath your duck. But this was an understandably empty restaurant not measuring up to former glory. When things are crossed off the menu and you are the only ones there and cant get what starter or wine you ask for it's a potential problem. That said my starter was polenta, I think, in a fish shellfish soup that was very tasty and lamb shank nice, but potatoes looked a bit like a brown pie! Didn't taste too bad to be fair.

Nice place, with a small cosy terrace but the food was very bad. We took the menu and the only good things were the uncooked product (fois gras was okay and wine) but everything else was bad, meat over cooked, dry, sauces too salty, parmentier too oily, duck didn't taste duck... They just destroy the good products they have in the region. Really disappointed with this restaurant.

If you hate someone then send them here for dinner. If you are a patient person wishing to help others then please plead with the owner to hire a chef and treat food with respect. We ate here a few days ago and it was a complete disaster. The food was terrible, even the tap water tasted off. All of the vegetables which were deemed Tuscan were all pickled no self respecting Italian would ever make a salad like they did not an omelette swimming in olive oil the bread was okay though. We were so happy to leave.
