Le Triskel is a pub-style bar/restaurant in the small village of Theminette that offers reasonably priced fare in a lively atmosphere. Although self-described as a wine and specialty beer bar that offers snacks, the kitchen serves a full menu of basic but well-prepared dishes. The bar offers an impressive range of specialty beers and a curated wine selection.
Restaurant Guide
Tourists will find no shortage of reasonable to upscale establishments serving the region’s traditional gastronomy. Expect pâté, fois gras or charcuterie in entrée, côte d'agneau or magret de canard for the main, and a local Cabécou (goat) and/or Cantal entre-deux (cow) cheese followed by dessert. Although the days of workmen breaking for prix fixe lunches and wine in village restaurants that could be confused for homes are almost over, there are hidden gems for people who know where to go.

Traditional
Le Lot is also home to numerous traditional inns and restaurants for patrons seeking more affordable fare. These restaurants generally offer a prix fix menu with multicourse options or a plat du jour. Other restaurants simply serve a pre-planned menu, usually starting with a bread soup followed by a charcuterie platter, main dish and choice of cheese or dessert. Melon and country ham pairings are common during the summer months. Reservations are generally not required for lunch, although popular restaurants fill up quickly. Reservations are customary for dinner, especially for larger groups.
