1 Best Restaurant in Monbazillac, The Dordogne

La Tour des Vents

$$$$

This welcoming Michelin-starred dining room is the region's best bet for an excellent gourmet meal. Add exceptional prices on the prix-fixe menus (€62 for four courses to €105 for a seven-course meal) and beautiful panoramic views from both inside and out and it's well worth making a detour. Dishes—cod with a pleasingly tart sauce of capers, cornichons, and tarragon; tender Salers beef baked in a sesame crust; line-caught sea bass with candied kumquat mousse, buttery multicolor carrots, and citrus-lacquer beets—are scrumptious and beautifully presented. Desserts sound so good it's hard to choose, but you can't go wrong with a towering Grand Marnier soufflé.
