Chez Suzanne

Chez Suzanne is a family-run restaurant in Cahors offering a heartfelt approach to regional cooking. Menus are composed day-to-day according to arrivals and the chefs' inspirations; guests can choose approachable set menus or a tasting menu. The restaurant is selected by the Michelin Guide under modern cuisine. It stands at 32 avenue André Breton in Cahors, opposite the Pont Valentré, and presents a welcoming, intimate atmosphere as a place of sharing and conviviality. Cooking is modern and seasonal with a strong focus on local terroir; the cuisine is built around seasonal, local produce from the Lot and pairs fine‑kitchen technique with those products. The kitchen emphasises well‑controlled cooking, thoughtful seasoning and generous, beautifully presented dishes, and the style is described as a "cuisine du cœur." Julien Poisot and Justine Basin cook together in a four‑hands format. Poisot was formerly head chef at Château de Mercuès with ten years in the starred kitchen; Basin trained at the Souillac hotel school, worked at Château La Treyne and spent six years at Château de Mercuès, and the two chefs share the same palate and vision. Specialties include trout from the Gouffre de Blagour, Quercy Bio lamb, seared duck foie gras, revisited mique, sweetbreads (ris de veau) and kidneys (rognons).
