- Gourmet restaurant in Thiviers
  L'Escapade des Sens is a restaurant in Thiviers, in the heart of the Périgord Vert. Chef Nicolas Cousinou invites you to a moment of warm gastronomy in an environment steeped in history. The restaurant is located in the Hôtel de France et de Russie, a superb freestone building, typically Périgordine.
  
  Originally from Sarrazac, a small village near Thiviers, Nicolas Cousinou is a young Chef full of ambition who has made his mark with the greatest. He settled in HIS restaurant in Thiviers, which he did not choose by chance because it is the capital of foie-gras in Périgord Vert. 40 seats are preferred, to create an intimate place where quality takes precedence over quantity. The cuisine is gourmet and seasonal, delicate and elegant both in taste and presentation.
  
  Nicolas is young, but very experienced and he offers you a rich menu of his culinary adventures and discoveries. This gastronomic restaurant with traditional but yet modern Périgord cuisine, offers dishes with seasonal and ultra-fresh products, sourced locally.
  
  Note that take-out formulas are available from Friday noon to Sunday noon, Sunday and public holidays. A formula to enjoy at home if you don't feel like cooking or if you want to delight your guests.

Another delightful lunch by Chef Nicolas Cousinou. I had the revisited boneless pig trotter, then the beef fillet cooked to perfection, one of the best I have ever had and I finished with the lemon tart. We are so lucky to have such a great restaurant nearby. Still 5* A must ! A feast for the eyes and a culinary delight as usual. We had the foie gras and the sautéed veal, with the recommended white and red by the maître. Splendid atmosphere, impeccable service. Will of course go back! This is always a delight. Nicolas Cousinou takes cuisine to new heights and never disappoints. I was impressed by the duck and pig trotters starter, an amazing combination. We will of course be back!

HIGHLY RECOMMENDED! One of the best meals I've had in France - from the excellent, non-intrusive service to the most delicious food. We chose the 3 course menu with ample choices available for entrée, plat principal and dessert. Apart from the exquisite dishes, beautifully presented, the service was well-paced with tasty appetizers on the house served in between courses. This is a restaurant, situated in a lovingly restored building with a large terrace, I will frequent from now on! I also bought some 'huile de noix' and 'miel' (honey) from their store which show-cased an array of products prepared by the restaurant. À L'escapade des sens : merci beaucoup !

We came here simply because of the positive reviews but were very disappointed. The two amuse bouche were lacking in flavour, the lamb which was substituted for beef on the menu was dry and overcooked - although the jus was excellent. The vegetables seemed to have been blanched sometime earlier, then sliced and arranged around the plate again with little flavour. The dessert was also dull. We concluded that the chef was either on holiday or not in the kitchen that night.
