Brilliant classic French lunch meal

I was glad I had made a reservation as the dining room was full on a grey late-October day. Friendly welcome from the server who, while serving the whole restaurant and run off his feet, had a word for everyone and delivered each meal without...delay or undue haste (so very impressed by the server). The lunchtime 13.50 menu was very copious and typical French country restaurant fare done well; soup, followed by a prepared plate of salad, charcuterie, mushrooms, beets and such. For mains, we had a choice of duck or fish -- the duck was a large portion of breast perfectly done, accompanied by fried potatoes (real potatoes) and string beans. I think the fish was a mix of fish and potatoes (spied on another table). Followed by cheese plate. Followed by choice of dessert, strawberry parfait, flan (very nice), baked alaska, floating island, apple tart. Served with 250ml wine. Coffee was 1 euro extra. I heard from friends that they always come here for Christmas day meal (maybe 35 euros, with lots of food well done). My companion was very pleased with the meal, too, and i will certainly return. However, I will need to exercise a bit more caution, as am a bit too full....More

fantastic ambience and value

Always a pleasure to eat here - especially the open air terrace in summer. Do remember to say 'stop' when the soup is being served . . .or . .. . !!! It is worth travelling the 30 mins from where I live to eat...here. If your french is shaky then Monty, the bilingual waiter, is there . . and is charming.More

Lovely evening

Lovely evening - good food at incredibly good value. Very friendly atmosphere - unfussy but welcoming service. Perfect 'let's eat out without any hassle' evening

Properly French

This is the kind of restaurant you hope to find in France but which is becoming rarer. A family-run gem with excellent food, service and ambience but low low prices. Always busy, despite its apparently remote and tranquil location. Love it.

Just sit back and enjoy.

I have been going here for over twenty years when in the region. It has changed little in that time and only for the better. It is a traditional restaurant run by Marie-Josephe and her husband Frederic who are genuinely kind, friendly and welcoming and...as a result they have a lot of loyal customers - French, English, Danish and Dutch. The meal usually follows a similar format: soup, charcuterie, meat or fish dish, cheese and dessert with coffee served with a choice of local (Quercy) wine ( red or rosé) and fresh wood oven baked bread. There is an a la carte menu, but I have never tried it. Most of the fruit and veg are sourced from local farms. Food is generally served on the peaceful, leafy terrace, but there is also and indoor dining room with wood fired oven which is sometimes used for cooking in the winter, because it is open all year round. Le vieux moulin is a true gem.More

Can't recommend lunch at Auberge de Vieux Moulin highly enough!

What a great lunch at auberge du vieux moulin. Off the beaten track and beautiful surroundings. The host was so kind and welcoming, food fantastic - soup, then salad, the mains (fish or chicken), cheese board, sweet and coffee accompanied by a very nice rose...wine. And all for €13 per head. Lots of French folk there in their lunch break which is always a sure sign of something pretty good. We'll be back!!More

Now a rarity

Source de La Lère Brose, 82240 PUYLAROQUE There used in France to be so many of these family-run places, where you had limited choice, but good plain food with wine included: they are something of a dying breed. Here, we had a plate of salad...and charcuterie, soup, duck breast or salmon, a generous cheese board and a choice of puddings, all for €15 per head. Brisk and cheerful service; simple, pleasant surroundings. There are places where you can eat better and in fancier surroundings, but this is a place you leave with a big smile on your face, and hoping to return soon.More
