Moulin de l'Imaginaire

Le Moulin de l'Imaginaire is situated on the banks of the Vézère River in Terrasson-Lavilledieu, near the historic centre and at the entrance to the Vézère Valley in Dordogne. The restaurant enjoys a striking location by the water, with a terrace offering a clear view of the 12th-century Pont Vieux. Indoors, two dining rooms overlook the river, designed to create a warm, comfortable, and friendly atmosphere. The open kitchen is visible from the entrance, promoting a relaxed and transparent dining experience. Chef Fabienne Eymard, originally from Limousin near Terrasson-Lavilledieu, draws inspiration from the flavours of south-west France and reinterprets traditional dishes from her childhood. Her cuisine emphasizes local produce sourced from nearby producers and farmers around Terrasson. She focuses on authenticity, quality of ingredients, balance of textures, precise cooking, and intense flavours. Trained at the Toulouse hotel school, Fabienne Eymard gained experience in Paris with Alain Solivérès before holding executive chef positions in Washington, DC, and New York. Upon returning to France, she led the Michelin-starred kitchen at Bistrot Benoît in Paris before bringing her extensive culinary expertise to Le Moulin de l'Imaginaire. Among her signature dishes are foie gras, roasted scallops, braised sweetbreads, farm pigeon, and a platter of regional cheeses.
