Le Moulin de l'Abbaye

Le Moulin de l'Abbaye is a Michelin one-star gastronomic restaurant housed in a mythical 4-star hotel in Brantôme, in the heart of the Périgord. The house presents a modern, terroir-driven cuisine that celebrates black truffle, foie gras, local honey, mushrooms and farm cheeses, all sourced daily from named local artisans and producers. Set within an idyllic setting overlooking the Jardin des Moines, the Pont Coudé and the abbey (founded in 769), the property combines a gourmet restaurant, a terrace and garden and two nearby bistros. The dining room is elegant and sober with white stone walls and provides uninterrupted views over the Dronne river. A sunny terrace and a flowered garden offer relaxed outdoor dining and panoramic riverside vistas. The restaurant serves contemporary French gastronomy through carte-blanche tasting menus that highlight seasonal Perigourdine produce and refined terroir-focused preparations. Menus are composed seasonally, served to the whole table and offered in set formats of three, four and seven courses, reflecting close collaborations with regional suppliers. Frédéric Murati leads the kitchen. Specialties include carpaccio of monkfish with beetroot, hazelnuts and smoked trout caviar; flambéed langoustine on a stone with sable and mushrooms, Porto and Sherry; turbot (barbue) with cockles and wild garlic chlorophyll; pigeon fillet with seared foie gras and smoked eel; crispy rosemary waffle with honeyed pear and cheese mousseline; and celery and apple — celery foam and sorbet with green apple and local walnuts.
