Gîte de Pereyroux dining options
I have always loved to cook, and to feed people! With my mixed-race heritage (English mother and Indian father) I grew up eating and cooking both English and Indian dishes.
Since my arrival in France, I have also fallen in love with the delicious local produce of this region, and during the lockdown, began to grow fruit, vegetables and herbs for the first time. Recently I've started jam and chutney making too, using local fruits and vegetables, to enhance the menus.
So, why not treat yourselves to a fabulous home cooked meal during your stay. You can choose the full restaurant style service, take-away main courses, or brunch menu - all detailed below:
Served in the gite rose garden or at the pool terrace, you can choose from 3 traditional menus, all of which are made using the finest local ingredients, including those from my very own garden.
Please allow a minimum of 2 days’ notice to allow for shopping and preparation, and note that I can only cook one menu per day!
32€ per person, including local wine, (16€ for children under 16) payable on the day.
