Welcome

Le Caillau is a 300 year old wine domaine transformed into a charming restaurant with a luxury gite and café/pottery atelier

Our kitchen

We source meat, fish, vegetables, fruit and cheese locally and grow some vegetables and herbs ourselves. Our chef shares our passion for fresh food and interesting flavours and is always looking for new ingredients and ideas to bring to the table. Our menu is varied and changes to reflect the seasons. Our cakes are homemade, our coffee is roasted in the Lot and most of our wines come from vineyards we can see from the house.

A place to relax

We know that whether you are with us for a week or just a few hours, you want to relax. At Le Caillau we offer activities to keep everyone happy. Our café serves fresh home-made cakes all day so you can enjoy a slice of delicious cake and a cup of tea or coffee or a glass of wine or beer whenever you want. Our pottery atelier is open for kids — or adults — to get creative and also provides you with a lovely souvenir to take home.

Stay with us

At Le Caillau you can enjoy the history and charm of old France along with all the comforts of a chic modern lifestyle. Our luxury apartment has private terraces, a king size bed and a welcome pack. Our restaurant and café are on hand, and the kids will love painting pottery in the atelier and playing in the private swimming pool and children’s play area. Or discover the Cahors wine region with some of the best vineyards within walking distance.

Reserve a table

Our lunch menu is served between 12pm – 2pm and dinner between 7pm – 9pm.
Please note: If you do not see the date you require, we are either closed or already fully booked.
In July and August it is recommended you reserve your table at least a few days in advance.

“As soon as we saw Le Caillau in September 2008 we knew that this was the property we had to buy.”

A 300 year old winery nestling in the vines, it is a haven of peace yet still close to many small villages and towns with plenty of activities on offer for holidaymakers.

We both worked in London’s fast-paced marketing world for many years, and we both like a challenge, and this is certainly a challenge, albeit of a different kind and on a different scale. Along with our two daughters, we have thrown ourselves into French life, picking up the local dialect, haggling with local artisans and enjoying far too much local wine and cheese. We are in the process of transforming Le Caillau into a unique destination both for locals and holidaymakers, and the Restaurant Café Atelier plus gite are just the first steps in this process. Le Caillau was love at first sight for us. We think it will be for you too, and we look forward to welcoming you soon.
– Chas and Caroline Sharp
