    • The O'St Cantereau in Ajat, authentic bistro-style pub and restaurant

      Hamburgers, matured meats, smoked, confit, fries (homemade, of the day and with goose fat), roasted camembert and gourmet desserts, all the classics of English pubs and French bistros are gathered at O' St Cantereau in Ajat. Pretty little town between Thenon in Périgord Noir and Cubjac on the edge of Périgord Vert, you come here by chance, but then you come back often!

      The quality dishes are cooked with love and know-how and to taste them, sit down in the room with its warm atmosphere or on the large and pleasant terrace with its sofas, on sunny days. This is an authentic Perigord restaurant , serving good craft beer on tap. The plates are hearty and made from the most local and fresh ingredients possible. The homemade sauces brighten up, spice up and enhance the dishes in a superb way. And at the end of the evening, syrups, rum, digestives...

      Matured meats, roasted, candied, are a specialty, meat lovers will be delighted. The owners Christelle and Sylvain are as friendly and efficient as their dishes are invigorating and satisfying! They have a smokehouse coming directly from Canada, which allows meat or fish to be smoked from pellets or ramial wood of different species, to give an incomparable taste to their products. The chef also makes his own charcuterie (Coppa, homemade filet mignon, etc.) and a maturing cellar in the restaurant makes it possible to prepare exceptional pieces. Do not hesitate to call several days in advance so that a piece of the butcher is prepared just for you… The O'St Cantereau is a friendly place, a real country restaurant where you can stop to have a good time. Open even in low season, the restaurant delights both locals and holidaymakers. Remember to book because everything is homemade!

    Outstanding food that is a little different from the normal fare of the region. The restaurant is run by a lovely couple who obviously have a huge commitment to high quality food, who have recently taken over. They have their own smoker and so we had slow cooked smoked beef that just melted, homemade pastrami, homemade trout gravelax and smoked bone marrow, all outstanding. We also had beer brewed by the family, which was excellent. Service was brilliant, especially when attending to the children, making sure that they are first. Be sure to phone ahead and book as they only have a few tables.

    I don't really like posting reviews but I thought this restaurant really deserved it. On the advice of a resident of the Dordonge based on his good experience, we ended up at this restaurant. And nothing could be further from the truth. We were served a friendly welcome, fresh home-made products. We had such a delicious meal on our first visit that we made reservations again three days later. There was a new menu that day with again delicious dishes. Highly recommended, don't forget to make a reservation because they only have a limited number of tables

    I don’t usually write reviews but this was such a great find! Great location (eating under a beautiful tree), great & imaginative food, and great home brewed beer. We were in the area for a wedding at the weekend but arrived on a Wednesday. Nothing else was open near to where we were staying on a Wednesday evening so we thought we'd give it a try. The owner was charming and the experience was very memorable. It was so good that we went back again the next night! It was such a pleasant surprise to have such imaginative food options rather than the same old thing that is served everywhere. My husband loves a beer so was thrilled to have a light homebrew. French beer is always so strong so it was great for him to have a beer like back in England! Much of the food was smoked on site in their own fumoir. It was all presented beautifully and was delicious. Amazing thick slices of smoked trout, deliciously smooth foie gras, brilliant chips, etc. etc. The owner's wife was away so he was alone in the kitchen and serving. He did a great job. We felt very relaxed, well fed and well looked after. We would recommend this establishment very highly and hope that they are very successful. With such hard work and clear passion for quality, they deserve to be very successful. I wish we had somewhere like that in our village in Burgundy!! Thank you for a truly memorable and delicious evening.
