A very rich atmosphere in this well known restaurant
in the pretty town of Cahors… 
Rich with golden light, precious and antique objects, an old-style charm…
This richness and authenticity totally corresponds to Gilles
Marre's cuisine, inspired by the Quercy region.
The real Quercy
region that is, natural, offering products of an almost legendary
quality, such as lamb and duck, truffles or nuts.
The atmosphere is special and quiet in the beautiful
1930's style dining room, where you will meet regulars as well
as travellers and occasional tourists, stopping in this place
where one feels almost at home.
The ideal gourmet menu is really representative of the young
Chef's creations and his brother Laurent, the sommelier, will
suggest adequate although often surprising wines. See you soon
at Le Balandre !
The menu changes according to seasons and the market.
The menu below is only an example.
