Trémolat is a medieval village of enormous charm and is home to five lovely restaurants – the Vieux Logis 4 star Hotel with its renowned Michelin starred restaurant provides a wonderful gastronomic tour of the local cuisine, while the Bistrot de la Place, pizzeria, Nulle Part Ailleurs and Les Tartines which offers “Fastfood Périgourdin”, are all situated around the village square with shady terraces to enjoy those summer evenings. During the season the bar / restaurant Les Berges serves brasserie dishes and drinks at the campsite on the banks of the river and there is also a cafe/wine bar in the village selling regional produce.
As well as these great dining options, our small but extremely well stocked village shop, L’Epicerie du Village, is just a few minutes walk from the gite (next door to the Pizzeria). As well as all the usual day to day items, it is also our ‘depot du pain’ with freshly baked bread and viennoiserie (croissants, chocolatines, pain aux raisins) supplied fresh each day by the boulangerie in Ste Alvere. Please make sure you pre-order a day or so in advance.
In addition, a local family-run company operate a frozen meal service – have a look at their website wholesomekitchen.fr – we would be happy to help out by collecting pre-ordered meals before your arrival … just let us know.
Tremolat railway station with connections to both Bergerac (onward to Bordeaux) and Sarlat-la-Caneda, is a 2 minute drive from the village centre, and has good parking.
The village hosts a small weekly market and various seasonal activities, including brocantes, and evening ‘marchés gourmands’, featuring street food and live music, during July and August.
Every Wednesday evening (open all year round), our ‘Café Village’ hosts a fish & chip van (The Dordogne Chippy*), plus other food trucks in the summer months, with live music and a bar – an opportunity for locals and visitors alike to gather, enjoy the music and perhaps even some dancing! *we advise food is ordered beforehand online
