Michelin Restaurants in Brive-la-Gaillarde
Moon
In this country house that is typical of the area, chef Nicolas Laval, himself a local man (from Corrèze), has opted for a pared-back contemporary interior decor in a palette of light wood, blue and white, in a nod to the maritime world he so loves. Examples of his dishes include shredded beef cheek, parsnip mousseline, red wine reduction, tarragon; line-caught hake, cauliflower, orange gremolata, grapefruit, citrus vinaigrette. It's pretty creative cuisine, always skilfully executed and the chef's attention to every little detail hits the spot with diners!

He cooks by instinct, devising blind menus out of locally sourced ingredients. His delicious dishes, such as ox cheek confit in stock, smoked turnips and red cabbage, are never lacking in colour or precision.

Everything is well executed – compliments to the chef!

La Table d'Olivier
At Olivier’s Table, Pierre is in the kitchen, while his partner Fanny, former pastry chef, oversees the dining room. Normandy-born Pierre has enthusiastically embraced Corrèze, his land of adoption, creating this stone house furnished in a modern vein with designer lighting in the town centre. The bargain basement prices are astounding and his cooking in tune with the zeitgeist ticks all the boxes: enticing, suave and colourful: foie gras, fillet of beef, soy and Nori seaweed; line-fished pollock, carrots-peppers and chorizo; strawberries, jasmine and lemon…
