Les Petits Ventres Restaurant
About
Les Petits Ventres is a charming bistro located on the historic Rue de la Boucherie in Limoges, right on the lively pedestrian square and within walking distance of the city’s famed Sèvres porcelain gardens. From the moment guests step inside the restored seventeenth‑century timber‑framed building, they are welcomed by a warm, family‑friendly atmosphere, a stone‑coated fireplace, and a large open kitchen that reveals the daily creativity of the kitchen team. The menu is a celebration of regional Limousin fare. Seasonal ingredients — locally sourced produce — are the stars, with dishes such as foie gras terrine glazed with orange marmalade, tender beef Limousin from local farmer SOMAFER, and fresh river trout. The lunch set (“Formule du midi”) is a daily tasting of entrée, main, and dessert, while the à‑la‑carte menu allows diners to mix and match. A highlight for visitors is the spacious terrace, open during the summer months, where they can enjoy an al fresco meal under the warm French sky. The terrace is usually busier in May, June and July, so booking a table beforehand is recommended. In addition to the dining room, the restaurant offers a cozy bar area with a curated selection of local wines and craft cocktails. For ease of contact, the restaurant can be reached at 05 55 34 22 90, or via the official website where reservations can be made online. Parcelling meals to go or donating use gift‑cards are also available, adding flexibility for both locals and tourists.
