Les Glycines, Les Eyzies-de-Tayac, France

This restaurant is in the town that is near the painted caves that are found throughout the region. The potential for it to be touristy was high, but it wasn't the dining room has a gorgeous view, and is both ancient and modern at the same time. The lunch is a prix fixe at 35 euros, which is well worth it.
The fresh trout in this dish is local, and served in a celery puree--this was a dish that looks great and tastes even better. We had a glass of Monbazillac to go with it and it was memorably delicious.
One thing that we did not do a lot of on this trip was to eat more traditional French dishes, of which this, Veal Blanchette, is one. This was amazing, great mushroom flavor lightly flavored, veal tender, heavy but so delicious that you eat it slowly and savor every bite. I am going to try the blanchette technique with chicken thighs and see if We can replicate a bit. Served with a rice pilaf and enough for two!
