Le Pétrocore

Le Pétrocore is a gastronomic restaurant in Périgueux that combines modern techniques with strong regional roots to reinterpret Périgord cuisine. It operates an accessible midday formula and an exclusive evening service with a limited number of places to ensure high quality and close attention. The founders trained to a BTS in Boulazac, gained experience at Le Relais de la Poste, Le Carré des Feuillants, Park Gstaad and l’Europea, worked as private chefs, returned from Canada and established the restaurant between 2021 and 2023. The team gives equal importance to wine pairing and beverage selection under Morgane Guider, and Le Pétrocore was selected by the Michelin Guide. An elegant, intimate dining room features bespoke design elements, including a custom-designed bar as a centerpiece and three large made-to-measure display windows, creating a refined, service‑focused atmosphere. The kitchen offers modern Périgourdine cuisine rooted in the terroir, emphasizing seasonal products and short supply chains, with evening service built around premium regional ingredients. Malo Tual leads the kitchen. Specialties include black truffle dishes, Périgord duck preparations, Neuvic caviar creations, seasonal terroir tasting plates and an ephemeral menu that changes every three weeks.
